Headbangers Ball

The title of this post is completely misleading - I never watched this show when it was on MTV (I'm pretty sure that we didn't even have cable tv when this show was on). And, I do not like the kind of music that was featured on said show.

That said, it's a perfect description of what happens when our little ones get very tired or frustrated. Jack used to do this when he was under one. He would get upset and then sit on the floor and bang his forehead on the floor -- hard. It seriously freaked me out - especially when he did it on the hardwood floors. All I could think was that he was causing irreparable damage to his brain and that child services would somehow know and come knocking at my door.

I was hoping that this habit would skip Spence since we hadn't seen him do this to date. But alas, I watched him do a slow version of this move this evening. Poor little guy was so tired that he started plopping his head on the floor. Fortunately, we were in the boys' room which is carpeted and fortunately, he didn't bang his head, but more placed it on the carpet a few times. Hoping that this doesn't become habit like it was with Jack.

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

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

Skinny....

Talking to Spence this evening, I said one of these days you'll fill out (because he's so skinny) His response: "Yea, when I'm a Daddy."
