Rockets Game

We took Stephen to his first Rockets game on Friday night.

As soon as we walked into the stadium, he covered his ears and would not take his hands off.  I have noise canceling headphones for him, but didn't even think to bring them.  He kept his ears covered for probably a good 30 minutes after got there. I had to feed him his hot dog because he wouldn't uncover them.

I went up to see if the team shop sold ear plugs and they didn't.  I bought him these sticks to wave around.  When I got back, he had his ear uncovered, but was crying big tears.  I asked Stephen what was wrong and he said he spilled the popcorn.  He was SO upset.  We told him we would get more and then I showed him to sticks I bought and he perked right up.

The guy next to us bought a beer from the beer guy and we had to pass it down to him.  Stephen asked Daddy if he could have one of those drinks when he got bigger.

We had such good seats!  6 rows back!

He decided to pass on more popcorn and opted for cotton candy instead.

We left at the end of the third quarter because it was getting pretty late and we did not want to deal with the crowds when we were leaving.  I was having anxiety walking through the crowds when we got there with Stephen.  Way too many people all around us with our little guy.

We stopped and took some fun pictures on our way out.

It was such a fun night and nice to take Stephen out by himself.  While I get sad thinking about my boys growing up, I am so excited to be able to do things like this with my "big" boys!
