Today Mason wasn’t feeling good so Rob stayed home with him and Justin & I went to the Rivermen game together. I love the age he’s at – he is getting to be so much fun to take places and hang out with him. Last night he stayed up with us until 1am and was not crabby at all…then he slept until 11:30am
At the end of each game, they do the “3 stars of the night” where the best 3 players (can be from either team) get the stars. So right after the game, whoever gets the star comes out of the locker room and waves to the crowd and last year they threw a t-shirt . This year they changed it and they give away a nice wooden hockey stick. With where our seats are, I thought Justin would never get one. We sit about 6 rows up from the bench and where they skate out of the locker room, so they always skate out, give the stick to someone and come back. We have Ben Bishop (goalie) as our adopt-a-player again this year. We sat by him at the Christmas Party this year and we were talking about the sticks. I told him next time he has a shut out and gets a star he should just pretend like he’s bringing it back to the locker room and give it to Justin because he stands over where they go in. I didn’t think he’d remember or do it, but tonight he did! He played great and they won 4-0; sure enough he got the #2 star. He skated out and went almost all the way across the ice and I thought for sure he forgot and was going to toss it across the rink, but he skated back with it and brought it to Justin 
Here is Justin with his new stick. Ben autographed the blade part of it with a silver sharpie. He’s sleeping with the stick now, but tomorrow Daddy is going to hang it over his headboard with brackets; it will look so cool in his sports bedroom!
