Mommy went to a Suns Baseball game on Monday with her school. It was a great time. So we decided to take our little buddy to the Friday night game against the West Tennessee DiamondJaxx. We got seats near the home dugout and got there a little early to check things out.
Lennox chose these two souvenirs. A SouthPaw Foam Paw (that is the team mascot) and a squeeze ball.
Then as we were taking pictures one of the ushers came up to us and Mark told him that it was Lennox's first game. The usher explained that he always picked one little boy or girl to give an official practice ball to. And he gave it to Lennox :-)
We had some more fun on our way to the concession stand, ate some hot dogs, cotton candy, and a pretzel.
Then the usher pulled us over before the game to get one of the players to sign the ball. Lorenzo Scott signed it for Lennox and took a picture with him.
Then at the beginning of the game Lennox got a visit from SouthPaw who jumped into the stands :-)
Then the game fun began. This is Lorenzo Scott at bat. Lennox loved every minute of it. It was a cold and chilly night. Lennox wanted us to explain everything that was going on in the game. He kept asking who was up to bat and what number they were. He loved all the music, and danced around in the seat everytime music played when a player went up to bat. Turns out we have a little boy who loves baseball. Who would have known? We never watch baseball around here. Lennox asked for a bat and a ball for his birthday and cried when we left (a little early because it was freezing). We will definitely be back again. The games are reasonably priced and we think Lennox likes it better than football games. Probably because he can get closer and see what is going on.
It was a fabulous night for Lennox's first baseball game. So exciting for him. He got to see so many new things. We are all tuckered out and headed for bed!
Here is the big boy bed. Lennox's crib converted into the double bed frame. We got Lennox a comfy bed to last him a long long time, and comfy enough for mommy and daddy to crash in occasionally if needed. The bedding is from Land of Nod. Lennox is already learning where the planets are on the quilt and talks about the moons for each planet too. The rocket ship painting above is from Etsy. The Snoopy Astronaut was picked up at Hallmark recently. And of course you can see Peter Rabbit books in the corner, Lennox's new favorite character :-)
Lennox is still working on the transition to the bed. He does ok getting to sleep in the bed. We usually have to sit nearby in the hallway until he falls asleep or rub his back. But inevitably he wakes up in the middle of the night and we cannot get him back to sleep. We are all exhausted and sleeping with him more often than we would like just to get some rest. We are hoping that Lennox will eventually get used to the bed and stay in it overnight. Cross your fingers for us. We all need our sleep!
