Today Margaret and I took Josh to his first of what I expect to be many baseball games! We went with my mom and step-dad Don. We saw the Nationals play the Rockies. Unfortunately Josh's first baseball did not go as well as I hoped. Josh was cranky and hot (so was I) so he was not in a good mood. We had great seats behind the 3rd base dugout but unfortunately the Nationals did not cooperate to making Josh a winner. They got down early 7-0 which made me join Josh in a sour mood. Margaret walked around with Josh and fed him which put him in a better mood. She also ran into a friend, Natalia and her son Riggins (6 months), who were also avoiding the heat and sun. Riggins was very nice and shared his stroller so that Josh could take a short nap. We stayed for most of the game and the Nationals did make a comeback but fell short.
It was really nice to get out to a game this season. However the game was a reminder that it is very difficult to plan things with a baby. Josh was not in a good mood and it made it difficult to watch the game. It was really good to have my Mom and Don there to help us with Josh. We learned some lessons about how to bring a baby to the stadium and hope that his next game will be better! It will also help if the Nationals play better. :-)
Yay for Josh's first baseball game!
