put the gun down!! July 26, 2011

I awaken this morning  to the fact that today I am priviledged to attend a shooting session for the babies.
Today, we will go to 2 wonderful and fun stores to zap all the fun things that the babies will love in their early and toddler years.  This is called a registry.  I do not remember getting to have fun like this over 29 years ago, but wow, I thought to myself. This is going to be quite an adventure.
Meagans excitment is at its peak as we begin our journey to 2 of her  favorite baby stores.
She was smart enough to do alot of her registry on line but there is still much to zap.  We get to her 1st location, which is Babies R Us.  I do believe that all the times that Meagan placed "store" with her real cash register and pricing on each item is getting ready to come in real handy.  She is so confident as she walks to the register table to ask for her "gun".  As she heads for her aisle to begin, you would have thought that she had sat up all night planning her route thru this land of baby items.  Let the games begin!!!!
Lots of items there that I could not identify. I have had 2 children and I was even a little afraid to ask what they were. And I didn't.  bahhaha.
At one point, we see the baby bottles. LIke how many do you zap??  We are talking about doubling up on these and I have no idea how many she will use.  We finally come across a chart that states that at each size, you will need 8 - 10.  I share that knowledge with Meagan who gets very gun happy with zapping the baby bottles. She decides to zap 10 packages of bottles of each size.  Meagan is getting so excited about the shooting process, that I cannot get out of my mouth in time to explain that she has just zapped not 10 bottles, but with 3 in each pack, she has zapped over 60 bottles. !!!
Way too late for the warning. When I finally am able to get out of my mouth that there are 3 bottles in each bag, she gets so tickled at how many bottles she has just registered for and where in the world Justin will put all these bottles that we decide to edit it later.

Oh, and then there is always the question on where to take the babies temperature at? The bottom, the mouth, under the arm , the ear, the forehead scan,and I am surprised you do not have to place it between the toes.  So many choices and soo little time!!!

The most fun was seeing the different walkers etc. that they have for the babies. Oh my goodness, One has  piano keys underneath it for the baby's to stomp and it will make a tune. So exciting and even more to play with it right there in the store.  

So, when finished shooting at this  store, Meagan says that she needs to turn in her gun and start for another location. What a fun day babies!!!  I am thankful that your mommy knew how to use the very fun equipment and very thankful that  all those years she and her sister pretended to own a store and use zappers, cash registers and all the invoicing they did finally paid off.
