A Baseball "Date;" Tucker Babysits

Ed and I had tickets to the Cards-Cubs game last night, and we didn't want to introduce Thomas to all those unruly Cubs fans, so we recruited our friend Steve to babysit. He came over Tuesday night for dinner and a diaper changing lesson. Despite the fact that Thomas looks a little unsure in this pre-babysitting picture, Tucker was a pro. He took Thomas for a walk in the park, changed his diaper twice, fed him an entire bottle, and got him to bed with minimal squawking. We'll be using his services again! Thanks Tucker!

Onto the game...it was a great one on a beautiful humidity-free evening--the Cards won 2-1 but the Cubs made it interesting in the 9th. I had a footlong bratwurst (yum!) with BBQ sauce that Ed tried to claim was Secret Stadium Sauce. Umm...they only sell that in Milwaukee. Still better than a hot dog, though!

Lots of Cubs fans there as we expected in amongst the sea of red. We were directly in line with the third base line and were hoping for some near-miss home runs to come near us, but no luck. Maybe next game...we have tickets to two more games later this year, and we hope to bring the little guy along: a Brewers game (Thomas will be decked out in his Brewers gear!) and a Reds game.
