Super Bowl Parties Have Changed

Since the big man's arrival everything has changed, and not just the super bowl parties, but it's a nice change...a different change. This past weekend we had the annual Seifert Super Bowl Party. This is always a good time had by all that tends to be a late night on a "school night." The night usually revolves around shenanigans and shooting the shit with other adults that just want to relax and have a good night. This year there was no relaxing for me. There was no shenanigans (or adult shenanigans). There was no late night and there definitely was no shooting the shit with other adults. Instead my night revolved around entertaining the big man. It's not a bad thing by any means, it's just different from the usual super bowl party.

Good thing there was plenty to entertain the big man, especially other little children. I had the most joy from watching him play with other little children. It was super adorable!

We first started in the fruit tree garden. The gigantic grapefruit turned into balls for him to throw.

We then got a bite to eat. The big man was having too much fun playing that he didn't eat much at all.

Taking a water break!

We played connect four with Jillian and the big man made me proud when he showed me that he knows how to share. When Jillian joined us she didn't have any chips, so I asked Max if he would share some of his and he politely handed his chips to her. This was a very proud mommy moment because I didn't know he knew what sharing was. The sitter is paying off!

We played more games.

A fun round of ring around the rosey with Jillian and Allie. 

He just had to play the piano once he saw that. I mean it is just like grandma L's piano so he got a good giggle out of it.

Andy was so kind to let me watch the half time show while he sat with the big man for a bit trying to feed him something.

We got a family photo where Max kept waving at the camera.

The big man also played hard on the stairs because those are so cool. Between chasing him around the house, on the stairs and in the backyard this mamma was ready for bed. We took off immediately when the game ended. It was a different super bowl party this year, but different in a good way.
