Baby registry

Here's something I think I'd like to add to our baby registry, but curiously neither Babies R Us nor Target carries them. Jeesh!



Speaking of baby registries, Margaret and our friend Cheron went to Babies R Us to register and it took THE ENTIRE DAY! Who knew that the list of things one absolutely needs to properly care for or accessorize a baby with is over 1,500 items! And every one of them is important and if you don't get it it means you don't love your baby as much as the parents who did buy the Gentle Rock Chair System 4000 with aromatherapy and chromotherapy for optimal cognitive development in a 4-day-old baby. I'm just glad it's the twenty-first century, where our heated wet wipe dispensers are electric and connected to the internet to order refills automatically via Amazon.com. And our poor pioneer ancestors had to heat their disposable cucumber-scented wet wipes over an open flame made from buffalo chips.

Anyway, after a complete day of being there, Margaret came home completely drained of life force and just collapsed into bed early that night. A couple of days later, we went back together, as she had to ask me about a baby carrier. After looking at about 312 of the various options, I was ready to leave and she reminded me that she had to look at all the options of EVERYTHING! And if you're wondering how many different types of organic cotton short sleeved white onesies with snap bottoms there are, a close guess would be 497! (By the way, we picked out option 322: Organic cotton grown in the highlands of Kenya beneath Mt. Kilimanjaro, irrigated using canals dug by trained meerkats , harvested by baboons, and handwoven by Tsutse villagers, then transported via a camel caravan to Nairobi where they are shipped via non-motorized boats all the way to America. They also carried the ones that used cotton watered individually by trained elephants blowing water from their trunks, but we wanted to stick to the irrigated ones... you know, because of our Mormon roots.
