Tighty Whities

A new era has begun. James has begun wearing underwear, at least part time for now. Plenty of accidents in his first weekend, but plenty of enthusiasm too. Who doesn’t want to look AND feel like a superhero? Way to go James!

My Hands

James brought this home from daycare – he was pretty proud of the painting, telling us that it was a turkey, and naming all of the colors several times. He’s definitely left his share of fingerprints around the house … and I know we’ll miss them when they turn into big fingerprints.

Admirals Beat the Wolves 4-1

Yesterday, James and I attended our first Admirals game of the season, his first game as a 2-year old. He loved it. We had a lot of fun.

Based on the number of times James has mentioned these things, I’m guessing that these were the highlights:

  • Roscoe (the mascot)
  • Roscoe giving high 5s (we didn’t get one)
  • the blimp and the papers it was dropping (we didn’t get one)
  • the pirate ship
  • the Zambonies
  • the goalies
  • when the big guys fell down
  • when #2 broke his stick
  • the business card that the ticketing manager gave us
  • the water fountains

I knew that James was really into the game when I offered him some snacks and he said no. I think his exact words were, “I don’t want snacks, Daddy. I’m watching hockey.” Looking forward to the next game.
