Registered At Last!!
I SURVIVED!!! How many guys are willing to admit that they not only went to register with their wife, but with his mother and mother-in-law?? The day went off without a hitch. The crew (4 of us) arrived at Babies R Us (yes, this is where we registered) shortly after 11 am. Good thinking by Amy to beat the rush even if it was on a Sunday proved to be a smart choice. Shortly after we were at the desk checking in, the line grew and grew! After a brief orientation (since we already pre-registered) and we were off!
Amy was ready to point and shoot the registering gun. She had been practicing for weeks with her crouching stance complete with pew, pew, pew sound effects (sorry, if you aren't getting the picture, but let's just say she was very excited and fun to watch practice). After about an hour and a half (working on the small stuff), it was time to get a bit to eat. We went and had lunch where Amy and I had our first date, On the Border. No margaritas this time... Then, it was back for round two!!
Unfortunately, the day we chose to register just happened to be one of the busiest days for registering as we found out from some workers. They were surprised at the number. What does this mean? You don't want to give up your gun and go get lunch. We ended up waiting an hour to get back to it. We used this time to look ahead and make some decisions so that we could just shoot around once we got the gun once again. This proved to be helpful, but the wait definitely slowed us down. After six hours, including lunch, the day was a success!
We are now registered and have items listed. You can reach the registry directly by clicking on the link from our blog on the left, or by going www.babiesrus.com and ckicking on the registry. You can also reach the registry through Toys R Us. If you so desire, purchases can be made online or at a Babies R Us and/or Toys R Us store. We were told that there would be less of our choices available at Toys R Us. We were a little confused on some items that showed up on our registry as available online only. Just thought we would let you know you know that we registered at the store in Northville and everything we registered for was availabled in the store except for three items for the Dream Teddy collection. We are looking at potentially getting these items ourselves because there is a 5-7 week lead time and could cause some confusion.
Hope you have as much fun shopping as we did registering!!
