First Game and First Snow!

Solomon has had a week of firsts! A few days ago he went to his first basketball game with his mom and dad: the Banja Luka "Borac" (fighters) vs. the Zenica "Celik" (steel). Solomon wasn't exactly thrilled with the game, as you can see from the picture at the right. :)

Solomon also saw his first snow ever this week! Snow fell for six hours straight on Monday and accumulated almost 3 inches. Although the temperature warmed up yesterday and today to make most of the snow disappear, there is still snow in the mountains. At the moment it is 45 degrees and partly cloudy. On rainy days it's difficult to impossible to take Solomon out on a walk, but as soon as Sol's winter coat arrives (Friday when my mom and dad come...YEAH!) we'll be ready for the cold.

Oh, and I almost forgot....two weekends ago when we went to Zagreb, I forgot to mention that Solomon also went to his first MOVIE! In his love for the movies, Scoggins was trying to figure out a way that we could take Solomon in with us without disturbing other movie-goers. Turns out, 11 am on a Sat. is a great time to see movies that have been out for a while with your young son! We bought two tickets to the show that had the least amount of tickets sold for that showing, "Evan Almighty" and strolled our stroller right into the theatre. Solomon fed during the previews, then sat on my lap for the first 20 min. of the movie. He was quite enthralled with the lights on the big screen, I think. Then, he fell asleep in my arms and I sat him in his carrier. The only glitch was about 3/4's of the way through the movie he woke up to have one of the biggest diaper blow-outs in history. He also happened to be in Scoggins lap at this point. So, Scoggins took him out to clean them both up in the men's bathroom. Ha! When I asked Scoggins how it went, he explained to me that there was no place to put the changing pad, no table or anything, so he had to put it on the floor! UGH! At that point I didn't want to know anymore details, but be sure that I scrubbed both the changing pad and my son very well when we got back to the hotel room.
