On Thursday, Abby went with Shaun and I to a Kings Pre-season game. This isnt the first time that she has been to a game, its actually the second time but its the first in which the music and horns didn’t send her into tears. Abby had a blast and was very well behaved. She truly loves to watch hockey. Mommy and Daddy are very proud!

Abby was definitely a part of the team spirit. She wore her jersey, which is a little too small for her now but it works for now. I was able to find some cute purple and white clips to put in her hair too! I wish I had been able to take a picture of the smile she had on her face when we put everything on…. priceless.

When we got to our seats, Abby seemed very content to sit in my lap or Shaun’s lap which was the firs good sign. I was worried that all she would want to do is run around. We arrived early enough to watch the warm ups before the game and the minute the players took to the ice, Abby was bouncing up and down, clapping her hands and started shouting “Hockey, Hockey, Hockey!!” at the top of her lungs. If only I had the chance to video that. Oh well.

Like I said before Abby was very well behaved. She kept her focus and her cool until about 5 minutes into the third period. At that point she didn’t want to sit still anymore and focus on the game. Shaun and I completely understood this and knew it was time to head home. The game was a bit slow anyways, and the Kings ended up losing 3-1. Not that it really matters, its just the preseason and a lot of the players on the ice were prospects and Rookies all trying to prove themselves and compete for a spot on the team. We took off but its nice to know that Abby can focus at a hockey game. Now we know we can take her with us for a special outing in the future.

Its nice to see that Abby enjoyed it so much, I knew that night would be a good night. Maybe this little video was an indicator!
