Last Saturday we took the girls to a Diamondbacks game. It was Natalie's first baseball game and she was so entertained. Those of you that know her well know she's loud and loves to scream (happily) so every time the crowd cheered, she joined right in with a high-pitched scream and clapped clapped clapped! :) Cyrena loves sitting by her dad and watching sports but she was mostly interested in what food we packed.
See that grubby little hand in a bag of tortilla chips?
Luckily there are some geniuses who run the stadium and they put in a kids play place up on the top deck. So we ditched dad for awhile and the girls and I went to play. For the 3+ area only the kids are allowed in, no parents. I couldn't believe that Cyrena went in without me. She's not super shy, but she's pretty cautious so I was surprised. Natalie and I watched her (actually Natalie squealed and screamed every time she got a glimpse of her sister).When the time limit was reached, we went and played in the 'baby area' where Natalie crawled around everywhere and was not afraid of anything. She couldn't have cared less where I was, she just played. 2 year old girls have a thing for Natalie. She was accosted a few times by them wanting to pull on her, hug her, etc.

SO happy. Little did I know she had 'roseola' at the time...oops, I thought she was just teething.There was this one kid (I assume 2 1/2) that kept coming up to people, bumping them with his chest/tummy and then falling over backward like they pushed him. His mom kept saying..."Dylan, you need to watch where you're going....hahaha" Seriously? Did she not see that he did this to every single kid in the area??? So right when we were about to go, he did it again to this other child and when Dylan fell over backward he landed right by Natalie. She was not about to let this opportunity slip through her fingers so she reached right over and pulled a handful of his hair. The following video is of the aftermath of that encounter....the standoff......then him running to tell his mom that a baby pulled his hair. They left after that. Too funny.
p.s. the Diamondbacks lost...that much I know.

That's funny, whenever we got to the baseball games, the boys spend more time at the playground and bounce house than watching the game! Sometimes I wonder why we don't just buy tickets to a place with bouncy stuff instead!
How fun! I miss the things you can do in a bigger city. I guess small places have perks too, like our 85 degree weather yesterday, and how when I left for work this morning it was 57! Just thought of that after reading your last post. Summer is hard in Az but the lightning storms make it worth it!
Pulling hair and spreading disease. Sounds like he had it coming.
I bet he is 2 1/2 and he sounds just like Brady. He's been "boinking" people and objects for the last month or so. I had to put my foot down about him boinking his head off my belly. Why is it so fascinating for boys to knock into things? Just wait until you have one of your own. And I am crossing my fingers we don't have a little squealer/screamer. The high pitch does not bode well with us. I flipped Brady in the mouth at the grocery store last week because he kept screaming. He was just having fun, but that was after his warning. You better believe he remembers that and doesn't do it anymore.
Yes I would have definitely encouraged the hair pulling on that kid :)
Natalie is getting so big and she looks a lot like David. I don't see a lot alike with her and Cyrena... maybe it's different in person.
Sounds like a fun night and now you know Natalie can hold her own!!
That is too funny! I think it's even funnier that you got out the video camera. Classic. I think I need Natalie to come break up some boy fights at my house!
hilarious! I love the way you described this. I wish we could have all witnessed it. love all your posts and hope everyone is doing well! miss you guys :) p.s. are you guys coming here for xmas? probably not since you came for july right?
Natalie is a cutie- I really think she looks a lot like David.
