WES GO BOOOO!!

My kids are turning into some pretty fierce softball fans this year – it’s pretty fun to watch…both my kids and the games, since we can now stay for the whole game instead of me fighting to keep them entertained. Both kids yell “LET’S GO BLUE!!!” (“WES GO BOOOO” in Carson’s case) and shake their pompoms most of the game. We’re trying to teach Mallory about the scoreboard and how to tell how many runs we have…that’s pretty fun to watch too, when she yells out “MOM!! MICHIGAN HAS SEVEN AND THE SPARTIES ONLY HAVE ZERO!!!”.

One game I do play, if either of the kids starts to get restless, is “Where’s Biggie? Where’s Bonnie? Where’s Hutch?”. This game works best when Michigan is just coming off the field (since Biggie usually heads out of the dugout to meet the pitcher), or when we are batting (since then Hutch & Bonnie are out on the field). Carson will point and yell as he correctly identifies each coach.

Carson has a little crush on Biggie – it’s pretty cute. Whenever you ask him about her, he gets a smile and says “Bi-yee”. Bonnie comes out “Bow-ee” and Miss Becky is “Be-yee”. Carson’s latest accomplishment, though, is saying “Hutshhh” for Hutch. SO.FREAKING.CUTE.

Anyway, back to Carson’s crush.

After the home games, Rick has to go in the locker room to collect jerseys or something, and the kids usually go with him. Mallory goes because I think she’s learned that there are usually some good snacks in the player’s lounge. I think Carson goes because he gets to see Biggie – since I usually get reports that Carson gives her about 50 hugs and kisses in the locker room.

Today we went to the game at Michigan State. After the game we were waiting to say hi to the team and we were standing with Biggie’s husband Rich. Rich told Carson that he wasn’t sure about the crush Carson has on his wife and tried to explain to Carson that Biggie was Rich’s. Carson responded “NOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo. MY!!!!” with a little chest slap (which is how he says “mine”).

I don’t know about Rich, but when Biggie showed up, Carson was the only one she gave a hug & a kiss to.
