On Thursday night Elijah was having so much fun watching the Grafton-Lisbon boys' basketball game that I let him stay up and watch the entire game. He would yell at the TV, sometimes saying "go go go" and sometimes just talking in gibberish. He would clap after baskets and sometimes run and get his ball so he could shoot some free throws too. Grafton won 50-48.
On Friday Seth, Elijah, and I drove down to Fargo where we met Chris. We went out for supper at TGIFridays and then went to the Fargodome and met up with Tracy and Todd. Both boys took their turns sitting with Tracy and Todd, and were really good. The pep band from Belcourt was there, and Elijah stood on Todd's lap and danced, providing entertainment for the people around us and some of the people in the band. Elijah learned yet another new basketball thing-holding up his index finger when a Grafton player would shoot a free throw. Grafton beat Watford City 61-47. When we got back to the hotel, Elijah was little wired and ran around for a little while before he went to bed. Seth hung out until a little after midnight, and then slept until 6:00-go Seth!!
On Saturday we went to West Acres for a little while, and then headed back to the hotel so Elijah could take a nap. He took forever to fall asleep, so he only got an hour nap because we woke him up so we could go to Olive Garden. BAD IDEA! Elijah had a MAJOR meltdown at Olive Garden, something he has never done while out in public. We had to wait almost half an hour for a table, and during the last 10 minutes he was screaming. A hostess brought him out a breadstick to see if he was hungry, but that didn't help. After we got our table he continued to throw a fit for about 10 minutes, and then he was fine. He ate a breadstick and drank a bunch of milk-such a healthy supper. After we ate we headed out to the Fargodome so we could get good seats, so we ended up sitting around for 40 minutes before the first game. Both boys were pretty good, and Elijah had a snack of animal crackers. I swear the kids got more crumbs on his shirt than he did in his mouth! He was a little crabby during this game, but got to go for a walk with Todd and that seemed to help. Grafton played Turtle Lake-Mercer for the State Championship and won 53-42. We stayed for the awards, so we didn't get back to the hotel until after 11:00. I put Elijah to bed right away, but he was in the middle of his second wind so he stood in the pack 'n play and watched Saturday Night Live. He clapped when the audience did, and even laughed for some of the funny parts. He would lay down, then stand up and peek over the side of the pack 'n play, lay down again, get up over and over until one time he laid down and his head never came back up. He slept until 8:30, but has been pretty crabby so far today. I think all the late nights have caught up to him-hopefully he's good for Melissa at daycare tomorrow!!!
