Hockey Love

Andy has been going to hockey games with us since he was a mere 3 months old, and I think it's safe to say that he absolutely loves it! Now, I'm not saying that he keeps his eyes on the puck, but he loves the whole experience, from the music to the crowd, to the action and lights.

Here he is doing what he does best . . .

Coyote Sightings

Last night found us in the company of Coyotes. Yes, I'm talking hockey here. Here's Andrew in all his gear at the beginning of the game. We do try to protect his hearing with the ear protection, but he really hates wearing them. Last night went better than most because he is actually big enough that they don't just slide forward and cover his face. Andrew really seems to enjoy the games. He gets fussed over big time by all of the people walking by and he really likes all of the lights and music. I asked him, and his favorite player is Daniel Carcillo. Amazing. After the game we got to go down back behind the ice for a meet and greet session with a few of the players. Andrew was awake for that part even though it was way past his bedtime and he got to meet his first real live Coyote. Here's the first player he met . . . .

I'm offering a prize to the first person who can name this player (and B, you are NOT eligible, since you took the picture).

We had so much fun last night that we are going back tonight to watch the 'Yotes whale on the Sharks.

Oh, and to those wanting a follow up: Andrew seems to be over his cold now, he just occasionally has a little bit of congestion. Also, though it took a while, the prune juice did work. Just ask his babysitter, who enjoyed the fruits of that labor. In fact, it worked really well once the next day, and once the day after that. Both days we picked him up with freshly laundered clothes and blankets because he had made such a mess.
