Our Jr. Jay
On Saturday we headed off to the baseball game. We told Belle we were going early so she could get her face painted. Since our trip to Ontario Place she's been in love with face painting. We got to Rogers Center and passed a bunch of other fun stuff to do, but Belle threw a fit every time we tried to do something other than face painting. That was all she wanted to do. She sat so still that the lady gave her the "big kid" one and not the simple J they do for toddlers. After she had her face painted she was ready to enjoy the other activities. Like sliding on the inflatable toddler land. It was just for kids under three feet tall.
In the picture below she's laughing not crying. She did so good keeping up with these boys. There were a few times she got shy and the Jays Staff had to help her keep moving, but she did great considering how intimidating they must have been.
We got into the game and got Nick and Brooklyn settled. Then Belle and I took off to redeem her Jr. Jays passport from the morning. (They get stamps at different gates and then they get a prize). She received a mini bobble head! We also signed her up for the Jr. Jays club and she got a t-shirt, sweat bands, dog tags, visor, and a few more things I think. I'll have to get her to pose in her gear tomorrow. She also got some coupons for concession stands so we headed off to get a combo at the kids concession. As we arrived they ran out of hot dogs, (who runs out of hot dogs at a ballpark??). Me and three other very peeved parents then waited 15 minutes for them to cook our hot dogs. Sadly I'm not exaggerating. We missed a lot of the game due to the wait and the 25 minutes it took to walk to the stand at toddler pace.
Brooklyn seemed to enjoy the day as well. It was super hot so we were diligent in keeping the girls hydrated. One of our many juice box breaks.
This is Nick and his girls getting ready to run the bases. Belle bailed just after rounding second. She got right back up but the bridge of her nose looks like she was in a brutal fight.Stompin on home plate.

Afterwards we went to the Pro Shop because Nick needed a new hat and had a gift card from his birthday. Isabella found this dude and climbed up on his sneaker all by herself for this pose. She didn't say anything because there were people watching her and saying "She's so cute....". Belle clues into that and puts on this grin. It says "I'm humoring you." She kept on giving me the eyebrow wiggle until I took her picture though. She definitely knows what she wants.
Belle and Nick being cool dudes together. Notice the sweat band. Flash anyone back to the eighties?
After a long, hot, very fun day she crashed on the way home. I don't even think we were out of the parking lot. She slept almost the whole 45 minutes home and was ready for some more action when we got home.
