Last weekend we took MP2 to what MP hopes will be the first of many college football games. MU took on my alma mater, Texas Tech. It was an afternoon game, and we arrived towards the end of the second quarter. MP2 seemed to really enjoy the game, all the people, the activity, and he hung in there really well. We left a close game at the end of the third quarter and by the time we got to the car, drove home and turned on the TV, MU had taken the lead and we got to catch the end of the game from the comfort of our couch. I think MP and I are also doing a much better job of knowing MP2's (and our) limits when it comes to outings and have adjusted our expectations accordingly.
A few shots from the general admission end zone:
The next morning we went on our most classy family outing yet - to Bass Pro Shop - for our FREE picture with Santa (clearly I am a sucker for a deal). While we were there, MP found what he wants for Christmas!
...a cammo recliner! With a corded remote control...fancy.
Then, the main attraction - St. Nick himself. So far, we haven't really had any stranger anxiety issues with MP2. In fact, you may call it the opposite - at parks or the mall, he will run up to strangers and hug them, and then cry if we try to make him stop and come back to us. So, we weren't too worried that Santa was going to scare him. I think all the hubub around Santa made him a teensy bit nervous, then, with no introduction we plop him down on Santa's lap and start to walk away. There were no tears, but there were no smiles either (not that he hams it up for the camera on a good day!)...and he was ready to come back to us after the photos were snapped.
Hopefully I will pull together a Thanksgiving update prior to Christmas...but in the meantime. What am I most thankful for? Well, the MPs, of course.
