Mike had a softball game tonight and we wanted to try taking Riley with us. We took him to a game last year and soon realized that he was too young to behave at the game (too much going on), so we decided we'd wait another year and try again. Keyword: TRY.
We've come to the decision that in Riley's mind, every ball being thrown, hit, grounded, tossed, etc... was for him and not the softball game. Which also means I got pulled in every direction at the game tonight and am pretty sore.
To distract Riley from the softball game (and to give my shoulders a break) I tried walking with him to the opposite side of the park as the baseball diamonds, but that didn't work because when we got there, someone was playing a tennis game. Yeah.. more balls... this time tennis balls... Riley's FAVORITE! I couldn't get out of there quick enough. I ended up loading Riley up in my car and we drove around the block while we waited for Mike's game to end. He was just too excited about all of the balls.
As Mike and I were driving home after the game, Riley finally calmed down. Apparently going after all those balls (and almost ripping my shoulder out of the socket) made him tired. This video is of Riley falling asleep as we drove home.
