date night

with xander!
we had two tickets to a braves game, given to xander when he attended the chevy sponsored day of baseball training at turner field.
originally we were going to get two more and all go, but with work schedules, etc. we decided to keep it just the two of us.
it was a great night. we sat on the left field line, one level up...where xander said the braves hit their foul balls. he was ready with his glove to catch one.
we had a jumbo dog and a hamburger with extra pickles (xander's request, which made the concession stand employees laugh) and extra hot french fries. we ended the night with dippin' dots in a braves hat cup. yup he was spoiled.
he loved yelling at the players and watching the jumbo scoreboard, checking out the players stats.
he loved seeing his friend ashton there and running the base up at the top of the stadium.
and he got a big kick out of the oversized chick-fil-a cow doing the tomahawk chop.
as the game ended with a winning walk off single by jason heyward (one of xander's favorite players!) he told me i was a "cool mom!" for bringing him to a game all by ourselves.
love hearing it now, and keeping my fingers crossed i'll hear it again when he's 16.
