A few weeks ago, my mom, sister, & 2 close girlfriends threw a shower for little guy and I in Omaha. The decided upon a robot theme to celebrate & came up with some really great ideas I know you'll want to steal.
![Greeter/Bouncer](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_v-vMLrSL1bFPCM9s3fcMZwbg4OqeY7YaCJtXMnbJjq1zIx_hQPTpExSy0BG8LqBzo18U2ffPCoqQw7Y7oouBKm7VSUCxFrCPYrdP9WJ934p7j4ilo_vWrQ-uGxpFno-w=s0-d)
This little guy is made from a bunch of random things. His head is one of those sorter toys. His nose is a snot sucker. His chest is a dishwasher box thing for bottle parts and such. His belly is a plastic bin filled with plastic blocks. His arms are bottle scrubbers. He has candy piggy banks for legs & baby shoes on his feet. He was stationed on the table right inside the door to the party.

Amber made a robot centerpiece for each table. Aren't they cute?

Do you see the robot paper cut-outs that were on the table? And nuts & bolts were scattered about, too!

Everyone got to take one of these little guys home with them. Aren't they fun?
It was a really fun party. I got to see people I hadn't seen in a long time. I got to play games & celebrate the little guy. I was given lots of good presents to dress & entertain the little guy with. I can't wait for him to get here!
