Go Pack!

We had a fun event at the RBC Center today. Jonathan worked for the basketball team for 5 years and today they honored all basketball players and staff over the past 100 years. They hosted a brunch and gave everyone tickets to watch the game in suites.

After a lot of thought we decided to take Hudson since he would be able to play and roam around the suite. Plus we wanted to show him off. BAD, BAD idea.

He was fantastic at brunch. He sat so sweetly in our laps, ate and enjoyed a great video they put together about Wolfpack basketball history and clapped his sweet, little hands when anyone else did. It was such a fun event. Jonathan has met and worked with so many players but I always get a little "star" struck. To eat one table away from David Thompson and Rodney Monroe is pretty cool.
(My sister called and asked what famous people we saw and I got so tickled. I was pretty impressed that coming from a Tarheel fan she spouted out so many names.)

When brunch was ending he started rubbing his eyes and being very clingy. I asked a server for milk and he told me there was no milk in the RBC center. DEVASTATION!!!! Milk is always our saving grace.

As soon as we got to the suite, he lost it. Granted, it was smack dab at nap time but we thought for sure he would be entertained with the lights, sounds, music, game and people and kids who we sat with. I packed toys, juice, snacks......... nothing worked.

I became the panicky mom. You know the one who turns red, starts sweating and gives her husband the glare of death? That was me. (Thank God I have a husband who rolls his eyes and laughs at me.) Thanks to our private server (box suites are the best) we found some milk. But someone was past the point of wanting milk. He wanted his bed and silence.

So 10 minutes into the game the Bazemore family left. And 2 minutes after being home Hudson was passed out.

I am so proud of him for holding up for so long and allowing us to attempt being away at nap time. He does look precious in his wolfpack gear.
