My Dad has become the crazy Grandpa to be. It is too funny for me. Growing up my Dad to me was this gruff, cool guy who I feared and loved.
With the impending arrival of his Granddaughter he has become a big goof. He has purchased multiple pink Harley outfits for her as well as given his two cents on her name and how her room should look.
We have settled on a name. Now however my Dad has decided she should be named Layla. My love of music came from my Dad and I adore Eric Clapton. But come on do I want to name my daughter after a woman who left George Harrison mid marriage for Eric Clapton? I just think that could create some bad ju ju for her. :)
My Dad also thinks my baby's room should be more girly. We are thinking Dinosaurs to which my Dad freaked - Dinosaurs are for boys.... ugh who is the funny man and what has he done with my Dad?!
I am excited to meet the little lady who has turned my Dad into a big softie. :)

Layla is a fine name. But so is Gabrielle! And dinosaurs are fun for all kids--I dunno about when I was a youngster, but it seems that all kids nowadays go through a dino phase. My sister did when she was in K-3rd grade, my other friends' kids love dinosaurs, and this is boys and girls! I say "Go Dino!"
I don't know why, but for some reason the name Layla, besides the Eric Clapton thing, immediately makes me thing "russian gymnast." I may have a few issues.
Dude, I agree with Paul, all kids go through the dinosaur stage now, it's like a pre-requisite. Besides, who knows? Maybe Gigi will end up a paleontologist!
I meant to say "makes me think" not "makes me thing" which just sounds creepy, I thing...er...think.
I think maybe something like "Where the Wild Things Are," okay maybe not for a baby, check this out... it is cool:http://www.walldecorshops.com/WB91001.html
