Loyalty

By
Jack went to Carson's, one of his good friends, birthday party this weekend. Another good friend, Jake was there too. The party was held at Chelsea Piers - on the first day that the facility reopened following Hurricane Sandy. The place was awesome - great gym and lots of room. The kids had a blast.

The party was construction themed with toy trucks decorating the table where the kids ate pizza and had cake. All the kids were particularly keen to play with one of the toys, a digger. Towards the end of the party, Jack's friend Jake had it. A little boy, who was slightly older than Jake, was across the table demanding the toy. Jake stared at him blankly refusing to give him the toy regardless of his pleas (this same boy had been unwilling to share with Jake earlier.). After a few minutes, Jack calmly asked for the toy. Jake looked at him, and easily slid it over to Jack.

Could not have been more calculated! Jake's mom and I had to walk away it was so funny.

Echo echo echo...

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
