Shannon and I have registered for baby products: At Target, and at BabiesRus. It was a long, but ultimately fun, day. I've learned a lot about all the stuff we need, all the stuff we want, all the stuff that's sort of interesting, and a lot of things that we do not want or need.

In a sociological note, I find the use of cute and love to sell baby products to be acceptable, the use of ambition (use this and your baby will be smarter!) to be interesting, and the use of fear to be abysmal. This is all new to me.

The manner in which various products are marketed to their various audiences is a fascinating area of study. You'll have the fun of working your way through the baby products aimed at parents to the toddler products aimed at parents to the children's products aimed at children and so forth. Enjoy the ride!
