Auburn Celebration

We ventured down to Auburn last Saturday for their National Championship Celebration in the stadium. Will did about as well as we could expect a 2 year old to do. The 30 minutes before it started, he was fine listening to the music and spotting Aubie. When it started, and the speeches started, he got a little bored (unlike his daddy who was hanging on EVERY word). He was VERY squirmy for about 20 minutes. Let me tell you, it is not easy to contain your child in a pretty packed stadium when all he wants to do is climb stadium steps and eat random people's popcorn. We thought we might have to leave several times. He wasn't being bad....just 2. Finally with about 15 minutes left he passed out. And when I say passed out, I mean completely dead weight-nothing woke him....not the loud music at the end, not the cheering, not the walk back to the car, not undressing him out of his winter get up so that he would fit into his car seat-he didn't wake up until we were in Sylacauga. We wore the little guy out! It was pretty cold and the wind made it worse. We were sitting in the shade the whole time, so that didn't help either. But we had fun. This was Will's 2nd time in the stadium. His first was last spring for A-day.
After it was over I wanted to take another picture of Will and John in the same spot where John introduced Will to all things Auburn when he was only 2 weeks old, but considering my child was out and so was my camera battery, we will just have to do that another day.
I think this past Saturday has finally caught up with him. I am home with a sick little guy today. Just pitiful! This should also explain why I have been on a blogging roll...3 in one day...I've had a little extra time. I could get used to working 4 day weeks...laundry gets done, blogging gets done, extra snuggle time with Will...lets just hope we aren't in for another rough night.
