firsts (part 1)

Disclosure: I realize over the next few years I will have plenty of posts titled "Firsts"... I apologize for the lack of creativity.

Last Friday Harper experienced three firsts: 1st metro ride, 1st outing in the District, 1st NBA basketball game. Here's a recap:

METRO RIDE

I couldn't believe this was the first time we'd taken Harper on the metro. It is such an everyday part of my life that it was funny to see what she thought of it. We are in agreement: it's not very fun. In fact, on the ride home she would scream unless I was standing up. As Noa would call that: Metro surfing. (Noa, Harper can't wait to go metro surfing with you)

When we first got on the train there weren't that many people, but as we got closer to the arena the car became quite crowded. Harper loved looking around at all the new faces. If she had not been so tired I think she would have enjoyed it a bit more.

DISTRICT

No pictures here... As we shuffled through the crowded streets, Harper hung out, enjoying the ride and peering over my shoulder at all of the people. I think she's going to be a people watcher.

BASKETBALL GAME

The game was great. We weren't expecting a very competitive game... we figured the Wizards would get stomped... Luckily, we were wrong. It was a fairly close game throughout and the Wizards ended up with a win!

Harper enjoyed watching all of the movement, and didn't mind the noise at first. However, when she got really tired the sudden moments of cheering weren't letting her sleep, which she wasn't too pleased about.

Harper's "date" was such a champ. He's definitely more accustomed to the noisy arena. Don't worry Camden, she'll get there.

At some point, she gave in, sleeping through a good chunk of the game and some pretty loud moments. Then the Wizards started making a comeback and the crowd got really loud. At least she got a bit of sleep.
It was so great to get out and see a game. The win was totally an extra bonus. L&J, thanks so much for the great evening!
