Play Ball!

Last Christmas, we gave Papa fake tickets to the Cubs game of his choice with B and Jeff. He finally redeemed them a couple of weeks ago and we celebrated Christmas in July at PNC park in Pittsburgh. This was B's first ballgame and who knows what team he will be rooting for in the future but I think he enjoyed it. It was a night game with a 7 pm start and fireworks and a band playing afterwards. I made sure we got seats on the aisle, right on the main level for easy get-a-ways for an antsy toddler. He walked up and down the steps a couple of times and my MIL followed him around for a little bit. When we first got to our seats, he saw the field and immediately said "Play?". He was ready to go out on the grass. After some mid-game Dippin' Dots, he sat still for a little bit but then had to take another stroll. Overall, I think he did pretty good with only a few minor melt-downs. Maybe we'll catch a minor league game before the end of summer as well.
