A Night of Seconds – Hockey
We had a night full of firsts on Monday night when my 5 week old granddaughter went to her first hockey game and my 14 year old got her first high fives and autographs from her favorite pro hockey players.
Well tonight, the feminine foursome in my family ranging in age from pre-menopausal to just over five weeks old went to the babies second hockey game, this time the first pre-season game of the year. I have proof this time (though I still want to get you the picture on the glass from that first game):
Now several things stand out in this picture:
(1) this baby has it easy; I’m jealous of her being carried around in a pouch
(2) this baby knows that she needs to rest up before the game starts – no 5 week old can sleep during the excitement of a hockey game
(3) this Mom has an incredible sense of priorities – get her hooked early and then blame it on the baby wanting to go as the excuse for going to as many games possible in the best seats possible
(4) this Mom has the ultimate clue – two for the price of one at the hockey game!
I’m pretty dad gum excited about this, because Pops (that’s what she’ll call me) will also need some quality time with the granddaughter at the hockey game. Having three generations of hockey fans already in the family is very cool!
