BEAR DOWN!

For all of you non-Chicagoans, today was the home opener for the Chicago Bears! And in a surprising twist, THEY WON!!! Now, this is even more exciting because we brought Eddie to his first Bears game :)

{nanna and grandpa took us!}

{eddie was very excited to see 'hockey'....he had a hard time catching on to the change of sports}

{which is acceptable, since some of the Blackhawk players were there with the STANLEY CUP! It was the first time I've seen it in person and it was so exciting!}

{eddie had such a good time clapping and cheering 'go bears!' and 'boo!' and well....I have to admit.....I had him say 'come on, ya farts!' a couple of times}

{random picture of the view from our seats......I love, love, love going to Soldier Field because the view is seriously amazing!}

{love}

{and after is all, we saw the Bears drumline outside the statium and they let Eddie play for a bit on the big drums. He was sooo excited and it was adorable!}

We were so nervous to bring him, but it all worked perfectly. He sat through the 1st, ate lunch and walked during the 2nd, watched the band at half time, napped through the 3rd and cheered for the win in the 4th. We were all shocked and super pleased with how well he did and, to be honest, how well the people around us did. When we started to get crap from the people behind us for walking out during the 2nd, another guy yelled at the instigator screaming 'they have a baby! shut up!' which was nice :) Lots of people smiled and asked us the normal questions (name, how old, etc) and seemed to not really mind having him around. It didn't stop the swearing, but it wasn't so bad. I brought the ring sling and carried him on my back for the walk to the statium and up the stairs (we're alllllllllllllllllll the way at the top. Like, can change the lightbulbs if they need it) and it worked so well. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to walk through the zillions of people otherwise. Yay for baby wearing at 24 months!

Thank you Nanna and Bapa for taking us, thank you Bears for winning and thank you Eddie for being amazing!
