Love and Basketball

For Eli, they are these words are interchangeable because to him, love IS basketball. And last night Lehr loved Eli. He got some last minute tickets for box/suite seats to the Hawks game. He told me around lunchtime, but we decided to surprise Eli at the last moment. Uncle D ended up going with them (I opted to stay home with Maddux so the boys could stay as late as Eli's attention span would allow), which made it even more special for Eli. Lehr said he sat quietly and watched very intently while the game was in play. They gave out free jerseys to kids and, of course, Eli got a souvenir basketball too. It was all Eli could talk about this morning when I got him up for school. He asked to wear his jersey, but given how large it is, we decided the jersey would be for home only.
