That's right. Eli went to his first Cubs game tonight, which also served as his first Braves game. Although the Cubs had quite a poor showing, Eli brought his A-game. This kid never ceases to amaze me. He has a short nap this morning before his music class, and an even shorter one this afternoon for reasons unknown. But instead of acting fussy and overtired during the game, he was happy and entertaining the entire nine innings. He even managed to flirt with and wave to many women seated around us. Of course once Lehr finished a beer, Eli
had to play with the bottle (read: pretend to drink from the bottle). We've obtained quite a collection of beer-drinking pictures so far, also seen
here and
here. We got a surprise at the end of the game: they had Friday Night Fireworks at Turner Stadium. This was gre
at news considering we missed our
Fourth of July fireworks this year. Eli seemed to really like the spectacle. He sat on Daddy's lap and pointed to almost every explosion. He even bobbed his head to the music from time to time. He managed to keep his eyes open all the way back to the car (2 1/2 hours past his normal bedtime), and even though he fell asleep on the way home, he didn't cry at all when I stumbled around in his nursery trying to change him before I put him down for the night. At one point I was trying to get his Cubs shirt off and he patiently took his thumb out of his mouth and 'offered' his arm to me to pull the sleeve. What an angel...
