First Lacrosse Game

This evening Mommy, Daddy and Declan attended Declan's cousin Josh's Lacrosse Game.  When he first arrived he was still asleep from the short car ride over.  Just relaxing Declan kept his eyes closed through the start of the game even with the sound of the horn.
This did not last, what with the yelling, cheering, hands clapping, persistent whistles, game buzzers.  Poor Declan's lower lip was in extrodinary downward curl and the tears started to flow.  Mommy held him and tried to comfort him, brought out a bottle and even had him sit up to watch the players running around.  There were good moments broken up by lip curls and tears each time it got to be too much.  Two periods down and we were watching the third when the tears and lip curl wouldn't let up even with Mommy's cuddles and words of comfort.  That was it.  Packed it in with 5 minutes left on the clock.  Don't think Declan will be catching any more Lacrosse games until he is bigger.
