So obviously we have no plans to spoil our child. However when he is a teenager or young adult, I wonder if he'll be jealous to know that while he was in utero, he was able to attend:
September 29 - Colorado 27, No. 3 Oklahoma 24. Though we did have to leave at halftime due to his mother's at that time "mystery illness." It wasn't a mystery to me or the Big Man, but it was to everyone else we know besides our parents and siblings. Uncle Eric went out of his way to make a scene of asking me if I needed anything, secretly hoping to reveal our secret. I didn't really find it that funny, but he and future Aunt Jennie did. In any case, at least Big Man and I got to see the ending at home, which was better than nothing I guess.
October 15 - Game 4 of the 2007 NLCS at which we saw the Colorado Rockies win the pennant. I'll be honest...I bought these hoping that the Rox would be playing the Cubs, but it became clear around October 7 that this could possibly be the clinching game to send the Rockies to the series. We were in the very last row at Coors Field in deep center, but Holliday's home run landed right near us. It was sweet. Even sweeter was pulling over on the Diagonal Highway at 12:30 am on the way home. Not.
October 27 - Game 3 of the 2007 World Series. Colorado lost but who cares. He went to the World Series.
And now, on March 20, he gets to attend the first round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Tournament. I think those are pretty cool things. Maybe when he's bigger he'll get to actually go and watch these events as opposed to just feeling it via prego's hysteria.
"You should've gone to China, you know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events."
