This is what Caeden heard yesterday as he walked into the Bud Walton Arena for the first time since he was a baby. Of course it sounds a lot different when thousands of people are calling the Hogs....compared to just Mommy & Daddy at home. :) The Razorbacks were playing LSU and finished with a 20-point victory! And Caeden got to see it all! Thanks to my dad for giving us the tickets, we usually take Caeden to one UofA basketball game a year. Last year, he was only a baby and slept through half the game. This year, he loved it! Of course, it helps that he already has Razorback blood flowing through his veins. I have to say that Reid and I were very impressed with how well he did, as an 18 month old. He sat the entire first half without even trying to get off our laps. He was so amused with all the lights, sounds, and movement. What was really funny is that he truly stared at the basketball players most of the time as they ran up and down the court. He'd even move his head to look around someone if he couldn't see. It's like he was really studying what was going on.
He got to walk around the Hog Heaven store with Daddy during halftime. And the second half was a little harder to sit still, as expected. But luckily we were prepared with toys, books, and food to entertain him. We got to stay the whole game....which suprised us. We were prepared to leave at halftime if we needed to...but he did great! This is something small that Reid and I have enjoyed doing with our kids for a long time, and we had an awesome time! Here are some fun pictures for you to enjoy!
Of course he knew what was going on!
