I remember years ago creating my "Baby Registry"...it was exciting to roam around the store with electronic gun in hand, zapping items here and there - picturing my cute little boy wearing a bib that said "I Love Mommy"...envisioning myself enveloped in the Bobby pillow, happily nursing away - fresh diapers, fresh wipes, new clothes, fun toys.
5 and a half years later I realize what I should have registered for:
Time
Patience
Money
Masters in Child Psychology
Bachelors in Elementary Education
Certificate to teach phys. ed.
Taxi driver certification
Magic powers
18 year supply of Pinot Grigio
18 year contract with Merry Maids
Conflict resolution tactical guide
Endless Energy
Lifetime supply of wet wipes
Full College Tuition
One thing I didn't need to register for...one bright, charming, adorable, loving, smart, funny boy who has tested me physically, mentally and emotionally every day of my life since November of 2004. I got one of those.
