Hockey day! Chad joined a men's roller hockey league last month and his team is in first place so far! The girls and I have yet to watch a game so tonight was our first game... and it went great for Karlie... she loved being out of the house and all the new sights to see... Makenna on the other hand was scared out of her mind (loud noises) and wouldn't let anyone put her down. She was held the entire time! Luckily Mima and Pipoo were there to watch also and we all took turns on kid duty. In the last few months Makenna has developed a very strong fear for any and all loud noises. Such as the trash man or certain dogs barking or a car backfire... just about anything. So when the hockey puck was hitting the side walls or if someone crashed into the walls... it was VERY loud and she was terrified. I'm not sure how best to deal with this fear so at the moment we are comforting her and letting her know there is nothing to be scared of and it's just a loud noise. Maybe it's just a phase and will pass? Who knows.
Anyway, after the game we all sat in the cafe at the rink and played and relaxed for a little bit. Chad had an hour break in between his games so we got some food and drinks and played for a bit. Makenna was back to her normal self and was super happy to not be near the loud noises!
