So I said I would recount our wonderful baby registry outings and I am here to do that today. To start I will say it was definitely more fun for me than it was for Jamie. Somehow he did not find pondering over various bottle types/bouncer seats/swaddle blankets quite as fun as I did. I, on the other hand, imagined our little one in each and every item that we chose, and had to feel and test everything to make sure I thought it was up to par.
Our first outing was to Pottery Barn for Kids. This was actually in search of nursery furniture which we have since bought...and not from there (sorry PBK, you're just expensive...and the hubs doesn't like your lack of "sturdy" furniture). So, while there we were suckered into registering so that we could get the tiny, little discount (she didn't really have to sucker me...I love that place like candy). As I tested out the registering gun with salesgirl #1 (I forgot her name...), I looked over her shoulder to see Jamie clearly absorbed with a finger puppet book. I mean, eyebrows knitted, wiggling the finger puppet like crazy-obviously sold. It was maybe the cutest thing I'd ever seen. But we had not yet made it to the other side of the store where an even more hilarious/cute thing would happen. I will just say that at one point I turned around to this:
Yes folks, Jamie loves the board books. I can only hope our child loves them as much as he does.
Our next outing was to Babies R Us which was where we registered for our "essentials". I had obviously loaded up on research and came armed with a giant list of the best products-most of which our store doesn't carry. Good to know they are right on top of things.
Anyhow, as we wondered through aisle after aisle I feel like we did a pretty good job of finding things that were perfect for our needs. It's a gigantic place. I'll admit Jamie wondered off at one point and came back with a sly little grin on his face. He could barely wait to tell me that he registered us for some things he thought we "needed". I won't tell you what item it was, but it's still on the registry list because it's actually pretty hilarious...and ridiculous all at the same time. He also felt we needed 2 of these, which I knocked down to one after we got home. You will know the item when you see it. It's got Jamie written all over it.
Well, it's been real readers. Hope this catches you up at least a little bit. I will leave you with just one more registry photo in which I look certifiably insane while holding something seriously disgusting...but don't worry...it's on our list:)
