Big Dreams for the Tiny Tot

Yesterday we went to our first Tides game of the season.  Usually when I got to a ball game with Hubs I have to be careful when to make conversation because, unlike me, he's actually watching most of the game.  Well not this game, my friend.  Today's game went a little differently than normal.  We went to the Tides shop and got our annual gear.  I tried to find a cute t-shirt that will hopefully fit me all season.  Then we went to the giant beer stand only to walk away with one giant beer (sigh #1).  This is sad to say but I don't think that I have been to a Tides game and NOT had at least one giant beer.  First time for everything I guess.  We went down to our awesome seats in the beautifully blazing sun to kick back and enjoy our anniversary.  Little did I know that throughout the game I would find out all of the plans that Hubs has for our little one.  There are a lot.  I don't know when he thinks about all of this but it must be when I'm not looking.  All I have to say is that it's a good thing that this kid's already run his/her first half-marathon because it's going to be busy from year one on.

We are in agreement that our first goal is to survive the first year.  Really it's to survive until baby sleeps through the night and we get to sleep through the night as well.  After that, it's on!

How freakin' cute is this picture?

I'm just going to make a list.  That makes the best sense:

-soccer

-swimming (for fun)

-t-ball and then baseball/softball

-basketball (if it's a boy Hub is going to find some way to have a basketball net at the house)

-girl or boy scouts

-it will be running with me as soon as able

-manners, definitely manners

-piano (Hub is going to learn first though) and then hopefully some kind of love for music will be born

We're both mostly excited that our kid will have both of us in the house.  My parents divorced when I was one and Hubs divorced when he was around six.  We're excited to make a go at beating the odds and think we have an excellent foundation to start our family on.  We're also very thankful for all of the people that will be in our lives to love our children: 6 great-grandmas/pas, 7 grandmas/pas, 2 uncles, and 3 aunts, and great friends.

I got a little lost there but my main point was that Hub couldn't stop talking about all of the hopes, dreams, and wishes he has for our tiny tot - even while watching a baseball game.  I think that's been my favorite part so far.  The look Hub gets when he talks about our little one.
