ella and i are getting ready to head to arrowhead for travis' game today. trav left a couple hours ago.
"ella c'mon put your jacket on." i say holding up her custom "87" jacket with "kelce" on the back
"no mommy, it's not cold." she protests as we're standing in her bedroom. she has on a red skirt and a black top and white sneakers, but she needs her jacket
"yes it is babe. let's go or you won't get to see daddy run out onto the field." i explain. she whines a bit but eventually comes over and gets her jacket on. she's been in a bad mood all day. i think she might just be tired, but i don't know why because she went to bed early last night.
she's finally all ready and we are able to get out the door.
"mommy i don't wanna go to the game." ella whines from her car seat
"what are you talking about el you love seeing daddy play?" i ask concerned
"i wanna go home!" she almost screams
"ella marjorie!" i say sternly and she begins to sulk
we only live about 20 minutes from the stadium and by the time we get there, she's a little better by the time we got there. oh how an ipad can fix a child's mood.
"ok let's go sweetie." i say when the car stops
"mommy i don't want people yelling and taking my picture." she pouts making me feel bad. she didn't ask for this life. when she's tired or in a bad mood she really hates the cameras, just like anyone else
"i'm sorry baby. do you want me to carry you? will that make it better?" i ask and she nods
"ok give me one second." i say as my security opens the door. i get out and walk over to ella's side and open her door. i take her into my arms and she puts her face into my neck. one of my security guys grabs my bag that has all her toys and things to keep her occupied for three hours and we head in.
we go straight to the suite and britney and sterling are already in there. they are sitting with us today. donna and ed are at jason's game today in philly.
"hey guys." i say walking in and put ella down
"ella!" sterling cheers and runs over and the girls hug. it's so cute how they are best friends
the suite isn't too full today. some of travis' friends are here and then the four of us.
"ella look baby it's daddy." i say to the little girl in my arms and point as travis runs out
"daddy!" she cheers making me smile.
the game starts and britney and i get talking a catch up since the last week i saw her. the girls are on the floor coloring with each other minding their own business.
i see the chiefs line up for a play at the 10 yard line and from where travis is standing i can tell pat is going to throw him the ball.
i get to the edge of seat and start getting excited.
"mommy, we're hungry." ella tugs at my sleeve. seriously now is when you decide to be hungry?
"ok baby, give me just one minute and i'll get you girls something to eat. daddy is about to score" i explain and she groans which i don't pay attention to. she can wait one minute. ella knows it's a big deal when travis is about to score so i dont know why she's being like this.
sure enough pat throws the ball to travis and he jumps up, catches it a scores. the stadium erupts and britney and i cheer for our guys.
"um brit, taylor." one of travis' friends tap me on the shoulder making both of us turn around
