Upon our arrival we saw T-Dog first. Although it was hard to tell it was him. He has no hair. None. His head is absolutely bald. Zoe thought it was the coolest thing to touch. She rubbed it for luck.
T-Dog, though, doesn't need luck. He's made of pure skill. Although that didn't stop Zoe from banging on the glass and yelling at him.
I have no idea where she gets it.
To make that easier, the rink installed a make-shift platform for her to sit on and yell. She loved it when T-Dog was in the net.
After T-Dog was done, he spent a little time with Zoe. Chasing her around. T-Dog got her laughing so hard she got the hiccups. Not to mention wearing her out! I've never been more excited to see a young person with so much energy before. I think I will have to buy him his first car or something for all his energy and help with Zoe.If not a first car, perhaps some bubblegum.
While T-Dog was making his aunt a very happy woman, MJ was dominating the ice. Since he plays on a rep team, we don't have the opportunity to see him play much. Partly because traveling to Canada with a toddler doesn't seem fun and I've been lax on getting a passport.He scored two goals last night. I'd like to think it's one for his favorite aunt and one for his littlest cousin.
It's such a blessing to be able to have Zoe grow up with her cousins. Anytime we mention that we're going to see them, everyone within a 50 block radius knows it. That girl has a set of pipes on her.
What better place to express her love, adoration and vocal abilities than the hockey rink.
Thanks MJ and T-Dog for a great night. I remember watching you learn to skate and then playing in scrimmages with you when I could still let you win. You are both growing into such wonderful boys and I'm so blessed to be a part of your life.
See you next Monday...on the ice. I'll bring the cheerleader with me too!
