Dinner with Jack

By
Dinner has always been an ever-evolving play with Jack. Last night's was something of a dramatic comedy (does that exist?). It went something like this:

Act 1: The Anticipation
Justin: "Jack, are you ready for the big boy chair?"
Jack: tired, hungry cries

Justin prepares bottle. Jack sees bottle - his eyes widen and fussy cries turn to happy noises.

Quick drinking ensues accompanied by eyeballing me and Justin to see what's next.

Act 2: Time for dinner
Jack eagerly takes half of the first course - Gerber's famous turkey with rice and veggies. This section is accompanied by lots of happy "hmmms" and a few short "AHs!"


Act 3: No Focus
As Jack starts feeling less hungry, his focus on eating wanes considerably. This quickly deteriorates to loud bursts:

Jack: AHHHHHH! UHHHHHH! (translation: Daddy or Sydney, pay attention to me)
Jenn: Hey Jack, can we get one more bite? Ok, we can slap the spoon and finger paint with the squash instead...
Jack: blood curdling scream...

And so the evening goes!

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

By
Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
