When we were out in Utah at Christmas we got to take Andrew to his first BYU basketball game. We'd never taken him to a sporting event in a venue that large... so he was pretty amazed. He spent the first 30 minutes just staring at the court, mesmerized.
Kev explaining the game
Little man entranced... wouldn't even look at the camera
He loved that he got his own seat and bag of gummy bears. He focused really well (for the first 30 minutes) and actively clapped every time a basket was made or anyone else clapped... still staring like he was in a trance.
After 30 minutes it was like someone flipped a switch and he was aware of the other kids climbing the bleachers. We climbed up to the top of the Marriott Center until I got dizzy and hung out with all the other kids. Then the little man went back to G&G's house and Kevin and I got to stay til the end of the game. It was fun to have a little date night. We attempted to hit up the BYU Creamery for ice cream afterwards, but it was closed (so lame!)... so we went to Baskin & Robbins instead.
BYU won by 80+ points, so everyone at the game also got to go get a free piece of Magelby's chocolate cake. Totally my sort of sporting event.

The little man looks so cute entranced by the game. How fun! Any game that has a free piece of chocolate cake is my kind of game too. All sporting events should involve free chocolate, more women would buy tickets!
I am so excited about your toddler blog! That rocket looks right up Scotty's alley. I guess he's not exactly a "toddler" but that's okay.
