OSU Women's Basketball

We scored 4 free tickets to the basketball game this afternoon. We all enjoyed it. Alexa wants to play for the Buckeyes when she gets older.

The camera crew must have thought Alexa was cute because she ended up on the jumbotron twice!

The kids spotted Brutus and asked permission to go down the stairs so they could meet him.  Brutus was excited to see them and surprised Matt and I by taking them by the hand and leading them out onto the court during a timeout!  Brutus had them join hands and then they played ring-around-the-rosie!  It was adorable.  The kids thought they were really cool!  

When the kids came back to our seats, Alexa says very seriously, "Brutus is not real.  I looked up his neck and there was a beard inside the nut!"

As we were leaving the areana, I had ahold of Bowen's left hand as we were climbing the stairs. He began to throw a temper tantrum where he refused to walk and let his body go limp. Unfortunately, his tantrum hyperextended his elbow and he ended up with nursemaids elbow. It's very common in toddlers and extremely painful. We weren't sure if he had dislocated his wrist or elbow, so we took him to Children's hospital. The doctor treating Bowen in urgent care recognized it immediately. She grabbed his little arm, forced it back and around twice, and he was fixed! He definitely did not like the procedure, but he felt immediate relief (and so did momma!).

The picture above is after the procedure. He was most definitely NOT smiling before we got it fixed.
