Saturday night was Cancer Survivor Night at Drillers Stadium. I was so excited when the invitation arrived a few weeks ago that I was considered a 'survivor' and not a patient! Woo Hoo!!! I decided it would be a perfect date night for me and Ethan! So Daddy rushed home from doing Jupiter Jump rentals so Ethan and I could make the game on time.
Before the actual game they had a huge dinner for us. I chowed down on hamburgers, baked beans, potato chips and cookies...while Ethan would barely eat anything. I finally convinced him to have one hot dog and a pepsi. It's an odd event all together when you find a mom coaxing a five year old to eat hot dogs, chips, pop, and cookies...and even odder when he's fighting her on it. He actually told me "I don't want to eat any sugar today mom!" when I tried to get him to eat a cookie.
After I had my fill of junk food we headed into the stadium. I told Ethan he could pick our seats. He of course went to the VERY top of the bleachers. The good part of the seats he picked was that ther weren't lots of other people crowded around us. Amazingly enough he found his appetite for junk food when the cotton candy vendor walked by!
We goofed off and joked around as we waited for the game to start. And I tried my best to explain the rules to baseball. Unfortunately he hasn't had much exposure to sports and kept calling it basketball. But once the game got underway he started understanding it a bit more.
He enjoyed the new experience...but his interest only lasted two innings. So off we went to find a new adventure. We ended up at the toy section of Wal-Mart looking at all the new Transformers! He now knows what he's saving his allowance for!
