First Rockies game

I'm prepping for solo travel: Today I took the two kids to a Rockies game—at naptime—without Greg. Another mom in my playgroup had free tickets, so a bunch of us met up for today's afternoon game. It was fun for the hour or so that we lasted, but poor little Sidamo melted down due to lack of nap. He was crying, and I said, "Sidamo, if you can tell me what you're crying about, I'll try to fix it." He cried harder, screaming, "I don't wanna fix it!" So we left, and the looks I got pulling a crying and screaming little boy through a baseball stadium on a leash were less than loving. Oh well, we all survived and actually had a good time.

I feel so lucky to have found this group of moms in my neighborhood. They're so much fun, and their kiddos are beautiful.

Hmmm-I've been saying that I want to take s to baseball games the way my grandmother took me, and I have 4 free passes. Haven't braved it yet though. Glad to hear it was fun! ~lmc

Oh boy, I feel for ya, eben though you are putting up a brave front to this post. My trio made a SCENE in the library yesterday. I felt like the world's stupidest freak mom and think I have scars from the eyes darting through me. A good cry in the mini van -- man, do I suck at this lately!

Hey, one hour is better than none- right? We took Sena to a night game and every time she fell asleep the opposing team (it was an awful game) would score ANOTHER home run and the crowd would scream, boo, etc. and then she'd cry. I spent most of the game bouncing. We need to get together soon.
