Preventing the Pooh-Apocalypse

I wanted to do my part to prevent the Pooh-Apocalypse.  As you may know, Jessica and I are not finding out the sex of the baby.  This has lead to a couple of conversations about how people can buy stuff if they don't know what sex the baby will be.  We have mentioned that we are doing a few pictures of Winnie the Pooh in the nursery, and painting it yellow.  Now we are worried that we might get invaded with so much Winnie the Pooh stuff that it will be overwhelming.  I am reserving the right to respond to a Pooh- Apocalypse the same way and with the same weapons I would use to respond to a Zombie Apocalypse.  Rule #2, Double Tap.

For the nursery, we will be doing a yellow color.  (Apparently, there are about 45 different shades of yellow, each with a different name.  The color wheel I have lists the name of all 45 of them as yellow.) We will be doing Classic Winnie the Pooh, not the modern one.  We will have decorations that are old fashioned and antique.  Think Velveteen Rabbit, Victorian kid stuff, and a big book shelf full of kids’ books.  I will be steering away from things like lead paint covered blocks, but other old fashioned things will be a part of it.  Hope that helps with ideas.
