First Basketball Game

Esten and I took Rowan to his first basketball game last night. He even had to buy a ticket. A new rule that everyone, no matter your age, has to have a ticket was put into place this year. We discovered this as we were trying to enter the game the first time. The lady stopped us and told us we had to have a ticket for him. We tried to argue our way in but, no! So we went and bought him a ticket. When we went into the game the second time through a different entrance, I decided that I was going to hand the lady just two tickets to see if she would ask for the third ticket. Well, she didn't. Note to self: next time try this method before you buy a $25 ticket. Apparently not everyone is enforcing the new rule, it's just there in case you feel like being a jerk and making a 6 week old baby pay.
Despite this we had a great time, especially since we won. Esten took the picture above and notice Rowan's horns down sign. How funny and I swear it was not forced. Rowan is enjoying observing his surroundings more and more these days, so needless to say he was very impressed last night. He looked around at the banners, lights, and crowd (particularly the Baylor fans yelling loudly in the section next to us.) He enjoyed himself until about 3 minutes left in the game. He was done and fell asleep on my shoulder.
We have been amazed at how forgiving he is at our antics. We took him out to eat sushi with some friends the night before and he did the same thing. Just looked around the entire time. He better hope we don't get tickets to the Phish shows in NY this summer, because if we do, he's going with us. (Calm down, I'll find him some ear plugs or something before we go.)
