My first hat trick

Nov 26 - This morning we all slept in! We were all wiped out from yesterday and I didn't wake up til 10am. We all were kind of dragging today and just hung out at the house. Mommy and Daddy didn't want to go anywhere because it is Black Friday and tons of people are out shopping. So we stayed home where it was safe and warm just doing the regular eat, play, sleep.

That is until it was time for the Caps game. We were running behind to meet Uncle Dave at the game so when we parked at the garage Daddy took two tickets and went to meet Uncle Dave while Mommy and I stayed in the car and she fed me. Mommy forgot the wipes so she used the towel and a bottle of water to clean my messy face which I didn't mind so much. Then we rode the elevator, paid for the garage, and walked to the Verizon Center. We had missed most of the first period by then so Mommy changed me in the bathroom and walked around the first floor concourse with me. We saw a booth for the Caps Kids Club. So Mommy signed me up. I got a bag of goodies including a Mike Knuble bobblehead, a banner of Ovechkin, an activity book, a Caps bag, a tattoo, and a few other things. Then we walked over to guest services and picked up our season ticket holder gift. It was a nice Caps jacket and the Caps yearbook. Mommy had so much stuff now she was having trouble stuffing it all in her backpack and hold me. We rode the huge escalator up to the 400 level and stood at the bottom of the stairwell of our section watching the last minute of the first period.

At intermission we sat down with Uncle Dave and Daddy. Uncle Dave wanted to hold me so I sat on his lap for the whole intermission and more than 10 mins of the next period. I was so comfortable that I just nestled into his lap with my head against his arm and I watched the game as I pulled on my ear. Uncle Dave had to ask if I was still awake. I was, I was just enjoying the game. Uncle Dave also told me that he liked my tennis shoes. I told him that I liked his hat and he let me try it on.I went back to Mommy for the rest of the second period. I started to squirm a bit. I was now more interested in the people behind us or trying to stand up on Mommy's lap than I was the game. But Mommy gave me the chicken nugget and I was calm again as I chewed on it. I sat with Daddy for most of the third period just chewing on the nugget and watching the game. I didn't cry for any of the six goals the Caps scored. Not even when Semin got a hat trick and everyone got extra loud. My first hat trick! It was pretty cool to watch all those hat up in the air and down on the ice. I did really, really well at the game.
On the way home I fell asleep which means I wasn't ready to sleep when I got home. I stayed up til after 11pm again.
