Aaron Got High

Aaron and I went to the Blazer's game tonight--a yearly tradition, thanks in part to the Trailblazers donating tickets to kids who complete their library's summer reading program. Edward also earned a ticket to the game, be he decided that he didn't want to go (I sold his ticket to a scalper); Meg reported that he cried about not getting to go, but we try very hard to teach the boys to "take the opportunity when it is there," so I didn't feel bad since we gave him plenty of chances to go.

Aaron paid close attention to the game, recognized his favorite players, and cheered at all the appropriate times. He also enjoyed a bag of cotton candy which, at my encouragement, he slowly ate throughout the game. When the game was winding down, Aaron handed me the nearly-empty bag and said, "Uhh, I think I ate too much cotton candy. I feel sick." Fortunately, his body didn't react violently to his over-indulgence; however, he was overly alert on the ride back to grandma's house in Sherwood and, frankly, a little crazy in the head. After changing into his pajamas, he started running around the house, riding grandma's exercise bike as fast as he could, and talking a million miles an hour about how fast he was going. At least he didn't wake up the next morning with a hangover.

  1. Aaron was so entertaining that night. I loved wondering with everyone else - "What is that noise?" only to have Aaron come out breathing heavily but oh so excited about how fast he had gone on the bike! You're kids are totally entertaining!
