I'm taking Éiden to his first baseball/Red Sox game which makes me both excited and anxious as I have no  idea how he will act at the game or if he'll even be interested in it.  I'm hoping he will and we're close enough that he'll actually be able to see the players faces rather than just tiny little figures so he'll be able to see Papi though not his favorite, Manny, who is being given the night off for some reason.

Oddly, Tim Wakefield is pitching tonight for the Sox, the same pitcher who was on the mound when haddayr and I took Arie to his first ball game as a six month old in 2002.  The thought of this makes me feel a little sad because it was Arie who was originally supposed to be going but is not because of his behavior at school for the past month.  I know it's the right consequence (as it was something that mattered to him -- not all of his consequences do) but I still feel sad about it since I'd also been looking forward to it.

Right now Arie and Haddayr are both playing a board game in the other room and they'll be spending some Mother/son time alone tonight which they don't often get to do (at least not without Éiden also being involved).  They sound like they're having a a really nice time.

I really think things will work out for the best today.

I'm really glad Arie and Haddayr are having a good time. You and Éiden have a fantastic time yourselves.

Thanks. We did.

It was a little heartbreaking taking the photos and watching you two leave, with Arie being so gracious.

I realized, though, that if it hadn't worked out this way, Éiden would have felt very angry and left out. Perhaps it's for the best on all counts.

It was a little heartbreaking.
