Kal Barteski at [i]lovelife makes these really special posters that you can order through her website. You personalize them with the colors, animal image, name and ADJECTIVE.
Warren & I have wanted to get one for Rhys for a while. Back when I was still pregnant we were tossing around the idea of ordering one, but two things stopped us from doing it. The first one: there was always a tiny chance that the ultrasound technician was wrong and that we could actually have a girl (meaning the name would be waaay off - totally awkward). The second: we couldn't agree on the ADJECTIVE. I was quite content with 'Rhys you are awesome', but Warren wanted something more 'personal' (God bless him...). Turned out it was difficult to choose a 'personal' adjective for a person we hadn't met yet.
So we waited. And the adjective became clear:
If we go out to a restaurant with Rhys and he is content and happy and doesn't fuss & scream, we tell him he's a Rockstar. When he sleeps soundly through the night we tell him he's a Rockstar. When he gurgles and coos and smiles at us with his moon shaped eyes, we tell him he's a Rockstar. Heck, even when he does the complete opposite of all those things, we tell him he's a Rockstar.
A special poster, for our special little baby.

That's awesome! Love the colours! And, the adjective is timeless. He'll love it even when he's older.....not nursing home old....although it would probably still be cool then too...
I just said to mike "oh look! a picture of a monkey! how clever! rhys monkey!"
and he looked at me blankly and said "do you mean rhesus monkey? because that's totally not the same thing."
regardless, i love it.
Love Kal's posters...and I'm already fretting about the adjective for our Baby#2. Rockstar for Rhys sounds just about perfect!!
That is an awesome poster. Rockstar is the perfect choice.
Great choice for Rhys, your little baby Rockstar!! It looks awesome in his room, and I agree that it will be such a precious keepsake for him.
