Earthquakes!!!

I (Sean) took Lando to his first professional sports game last night beyond the baseball games in the baby bjorn. We went to the Earthquakes vs. Toluca CONCACAF Champions League game. He did great at the game! Listened so well and had a blast.

At about the 20 minute mark, the seats around us filled in with Toluca fans (mexico). The whistles and yelling amped up immensely from there. There was a lot of yelling and singing in spanish which I think confused him. He lasted another 10 or 15 minutes...at which point he told me he wanted to go home and watch the game on our TV.

I made him stay through the whole first half, and by the end of it he was in a very good mood. He spent the last 10 minutes telling everybody to "stay on their feet" and "get off of the ground." He got pretty upset when the Toluca "Goal-ollie" stopped the Earthquakes big chance at the end of the half...he yelled, "no Goal-ollie, you dont stop that ball!" This made the people around us laugh a lot, to which he said, "I so silly."

When we got back to the car, he asked if we could go to another soccer game! I said of course. He replied, "I love soccer, Dada." I teared up...

Pregame Happy Meal

We found our seats...Lando's taking it all in!

Early Sign Landon Will Be a Good Big Brother

Landon's imagination is really blossoming. One of his favorite things to do is to tell "stories"...eh, more like "story" as he really has one story line that he repeats with a few added details each time.

And, it goes a little something like this:

Landon: "Mama, I have a question"
(He says this when he has something to say. Note: it is rarely a question, usually just a statement.)
Me: "Tell Me!"
Landon: "Once-upon-a-time...there was a rocket ship...and it crashed us...and we be hurt"
(Imagine "onceuponatime" as one word, said very quickly, in a toddler's 'accent'...I will get this on video to capture its full cuteness)
Me: "Oh my goodness! That's scary! Landon, are you okay?"
Landon: "Yes, I'm ok. Mama, you okay?"
Me: "Yes, I'm good."
Landon: "Is the baby okay?"
Me (Through Tears): "Yes, buddy. The baby is okay"
