And we had to tell my mother-in-law to STOP making fun of him for getting emotional about it. Poor guy, and poor fans.

The fact that the team was eliminated from playoff contention for the season? Not so sorry. As for Zach, try to look at it this way: Someone else will get the joy of walking around behind him, making sure he doesn't smack his head, and thereby getting a sore back, for a few days. By the time you return, you can be the relief team! But seriously, I think what Angie said captures it all and so many moms deal with the same dilemmas. At least you're in good company. :-) Mauras last blog post..<a href="http://onepingonly.blogspot.com/2008/09/in-which-i-see-spots-before-my-eyes.html" rel="nofollow">In Which I See Spots Before My Eyes</a> I am not a Yankee fan, but I was there once as a kid and I respect the tradition and history, so I’m sorry to see it go, too.

When they tore down the old Boston Garden (Gaah-din) I was really sad too - until I found out the new one served margaritas. Margaritas and hockey - how can that end badly? And HRH said his first word - Mama - while I was in Texas. Andy really debated even telling me.

Life has a way of balancing things out. Don't worry about Zach, just tell whoever is watching him (Grandma?) NOT to tell you if he walks. They must act as if the first time he walks in front of you is the very first time. They OWE you that much. Have a great time in NYC.
