Rain! A Reason to Celebrate

Praise the Lord, it finally rained here in our neck of the woods! Even though the rain was on the chilly side (or so Mama and Dada thought), Mason was ecstatic about running around and splashing in the puddles. What's that children's song? "Drip drip drop, little April (or September) showers. We're getting wet, and we don't care at all!" That pretty much covers Mason's feelings!

The Next SuperFan

We went to the first home football game tonight and Mason quickly became a SuperFan! He LOVED the marching band and signed for 'more' whenever they quit playing. He also sat on the bleachers and 'followed' the game (basically clapping and laughing whenever everyone else clapped and cheered). Then the cheerleaders were throwing out little plastic footballs and they gave him one. We went on many journeys up and down the sidelines with him throwing and then going to get the ball. I only had to go under the ropes and get him off the field once:) And on these trips up and down the sidelines he made lots of friends.

I really wish we'd had the video camera because it was the absolute cutest thing ever to see him start rocking and clapping to the band...maybe next time. Next week Heyworth plays Lexington (my hometown) so I think we have plans for next Friday...

But for now, the SuperFan is in bed with his binkies after getting to stay up a whole hour past his bedtime!
