Jen is on her quarterly business trip out to Boston (or is supposed to be...the snow storm cancelled her flight this morning, so she's actually hanging out with her parents for the night). So, Paige and I have been trying to keep ourselves entertained.
Last night, after mommy drove away, we decided to go to Chuck E Cheese's. It was hopping--the cash register girl actually confirmed with her friend that it's a school night. It took Paige a while to adjust to the noise, but once she did she had fun. She had three(!!) pieces of pizza, and then we ran around and did all the rides. We also played enough games to accumulate 16 tickets, which was good enough for a plastic emerald ring. She was pretty excited, calling it her surprise all the way home.
Tonight, I had planned to do a quiet night at home because Paige has her school pictures tomorrow...until I got notice that the regular season finale women's basketball game at SFU was tonight. I want Paige to see lots of women's sports teams over the coming years, so I decided that as long as she was in a good mood when I picked her up at daycare that we'd go. We sat in the front row, and Paige had a great time. The nice thing about basketball is that it's pretty easy to explain to a 2-year old, and scoring happens often enough that she was able to keep interested. My hope is that sometime tomorrow she'll bring up putting the ball in the basket. :)
We ended up leaving at half-time, when the Red Flash had just battled back in a very physical game to tie it at 24-24. The second half must have been wild, because according to this, the final score was 74-58 in favor of the Flash! Hopefully that will help them get a better seed in the upcoming NEC tournament. It was also nice to see two of my students there, one of which is a current A&P'er.

What fun! Now we wonder if she will play T-ball first or kiddie basketball :-)
-nama and pop
We do have a nice basketball hoop in our driveway...
hmmm but is it too high for paige?
For now, yeah--but the way she's been eating this week, it won't be too high for long! And it is one of those "kids" hoops that moves up and down.
Wow....I eat 3 pieces of pizza!! LOL...Great to get her interested in sports...I love girls sports...:-)
The other day as a stall tactic from taking a nap, she called me into her bedroom and she was playing with a ball. She said to me that she need to put her ball in the basket. At the time I didn't know what basket she was referring to, but now it makes sense :)
