Jon's hockey team won the Spring season championship game last Thursday and Owen and I were there for the game! It was a rare early game so the little guy and I snuck out while Jerusha watched over a sleeping Ever.
Owen was maybe a little intimidated at first. Daddy was wearing a mask and all his big goalie pads. It was cold, the players were so fast and hitting the walls and there were whistles.
Also he thinks that hockey games involve a move called a 'score you down'. Score you down is when someone hits the puck toward you and you fall down. And then they score. It's all very dramatic and the puck doesn't have to go in the goal, or even near the goalie but the goalie MUST fall down. Every time. It's how we play in the basement.
He was a little worried that someone might score daddy down. And since the whole second period was played in front of Jon's net I can see how he was nervous.
Once I explained that daddy was diving to cover the puck up - not knocked down by each shot - he was a little better. And even more at ease once we went to watch by the upstairs windows where it was warm.
It was a great game and Jon played exceptionally well against a pretty impressive opposing team. I was really proud of him - and so happy that Owen and I were there to see him and the team play.
Yay team!
