Proud Mom Moment

I was so excited to go visit Cooper in Minnesota for a week in February. I got to see two home games while I was there. Of course, the day I left they were calling for temperatures below freezing! The day I left North Carolina it was in the 50s. It was so cold when I got there, my eyeballs were cold! 

I found out the day before I left that he was going to be getting to start the game. I was so happy for him. He had a great game and they won 9-1. To see it in person was very different then watching it in my living room on the flat screen tv! It was an exciting atmosphere the crowd is a little smaller due to Covid rules but to Cooper it was way more then he is used to having at games! The game is so much faster then what I was used to and is faster in person then on a tv screen. I loved it!

It was a busy weekend with a couple birthday celebrations and the Super Bowl. I took him shopping and we had a great time.  He used to hate shopping but we spent a day at the mall picking out dress clothes for home games. He insisted on a suit. He looked pretty sharp!

His second game will always be special to me...in my previous posts I have said it is hard not being at the games and cheering from the stands. Not only did I get to do that, but I got to be there for his first Varsity goal. That will always be special for him and I'm glad I got to witness it in person.  They ended up winning 10-0 and he finally got on the stats sheet. This year is not going to be a stats year for him, which is ok. I am just happy he is playing. Some of his friends in Canada haven't even played a game yet. 

I was a proud mom that night. He came home and he was still on cloud nine.  Like I said...Timing...

It was harder to leave this time then before and I don't anticipate it getting any easier.

Way to go bud! I Love you!
