Scarves Up!

There's something blue and green of which Qwest stadium had not seen the likes of before...and that, of course, is Sydney.  She got to go to her second official Sounders match.  She was very excited to make her return trip to cheer on her team.  As with the first trip, Grandpa Don also made the travel.  Linda was also able to join us for the game this year.

So, as is Sydney's nature, she doesn't do anything half-way.  She made sure if she was going to go to support her team she would make the most out of it.  As a result, she decided sporting the blue shirt that day, but more importantly it was key for her to remember her tutu, her Sounder Monkey, and the Seattle Sounders fan's weapon of choice...the scarf!

"Are you blind ref!!!"

GOOOOAAAAL!!!

We only had a minor set back during dinner, where towards the end she decided that she would not swallow her food, but rather let it sit in her mouth and liquefy.  This granted her the time out she earned, and despite sitting outside of the restaurant for 15 minutes, she still did not swallow her food.  Personally, I think it's just gotta be nasty if your food is now juice, swishing around in your mouth.  Once we passed that hiccup, though, she was a princess the rest of the time.  She got many comments about how cute and adorable she was.

She not only would join in the chants (fortunately one chant she did not know the words to...yikes), but she even looked at us on occasion, raised her her scarf high above her head, and would say "scarf up daddy."  Overall, she had a great time.  Of course, the following day this led to "I wanna watch soccer game," almost as if we can just go anytime.  Certainly I appreciated the enthusiasm, but the organization actually has a schedule they follow, and aren't able to play on the whims of a two-year old...ha ha!  We look forward to taking her to more games in the future.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
