Today Ava Wanted To Be On The Bench

So much I could be writing about today such as meeting a new friend at breakfast this morning or just plain being silly in the basement. 

Either way, it was a fun day. 

Later in the evening we headed to Strasburg with mom. It's the season opener for her squad. Without question we were going to show our support! 

I quickly realized, though, that we would be watching from a distance. 

While the girls were warming up mom took you underneath the basket to give knuckles and high fives to the team. She tells me that's your thing at every practice and if one of the girls forgets, you get right in their face to remind them.

Seconds after tip off we had to vacate our seats behind the bench. "Mom, mom, mommy." echoed throughout the gym. "My mommy" could be heard as we quickly made our way to the cafeteria. 

For the remainder of the evening we checked out the owls on the bulletin board and ran up and down the hallway. 

You wanted to look cool for the older kids so you even wore your shades inside. 

 You even pointed out every ball in the trophy cases numerous times. 

If I tried to sneak a look at the score or catch a few seconds of the game you would nearly double-over in an effort to run across the floor and over to mom. It's a good thing I have a strong grip.

Once the varsity game ended we were able to run around on the floor for a bit prior to heading home. 

It dawned on me that you are so used to being a part of practice that to not be allowed on the floor was foreign to you. You'll get the hang of it though. We'll be at many, many more of moms games.
