WITNESS


Last Tuesday, we were lucky enough to make it to a Cavs game (the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team for those of you that are out of the loop). We are huge Lebron James fans. For some reason, I thought that Luke would be fine during the game. Even though it started around the time he normally goes to bed, I just thought he might sleep through it. Oddly enough, I was comparing it to the time he slept during an OSU hockey game. I guess I forgot what Cavs games are like. BIG difference.

At first things were fine. Luke enjoyed pre-game.

Then,

The players were introduced to a coliseum of roaring fans while waves of fire erupted from the center screen. The somewhat demonic Carmina Burana (O Fortuna) blared over the speakers, exciting the fans for the game (myself included), but also reminding me of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when the heart is torn out of the victim's chest. If you need a refresher, go to the bottom of my blog and listen to the first song. Luke was horrified and added his screams to the fans' cheers. I felt so bad, I spent the next few quarters with Luke out near the dippin dots and TV screens. He eventually fell asleep and I took him back in for the 4th quarter. Did he stay asleep?

The game was close.

Cheerleaders ran across the floor with flags that said, "MAKE NOISE".

Lebron came on the screen and said, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

It was the anti-baby-sleeping environment. You can see the results for yourself. Is Luke a heavy sleeper?




Slept like a baby....and we got to "witness" Lebron's greatness.

lucky lucky lucky...

I was thinking he would have erupted into screams with all that noise around him! Glad you guys got to enjoy the game.

Next time you can ask us to babysit. Might makes things easier. :)
