hockey, hockey, hockey

We took Michael to his first hockey game on the 23rd at the Schott. It was OSU vs. Western Michigan. Michael doesn't usually do well with a lot of noise and screaming, so we weren't expecting to stay for the whole game.


Fortunately for us, the arena wasn't very crowded. With no one in the seats around us, Michael could explore and move around without bothering anyone. That helped keep the boy happy...which meant that we were happy.

Lots of lovin' from Gma Carole. She was just as excited as we were that Michael was doing so well.

He really enjoyed walking around during the intermissions and did almost 2 complete passes around the entire arena. We also helped him do the motions for O-H-I-O during the song "Hang On Sloopy". He thought that was fun!



Surprisingly, Michael made it to the very end of the game....which included the 3 periods, 1 overtime and then a shootout....and a WIN. What a fun night out!
