Football Fan

Zeke has no team affiliations at this point, and has proudly sported apparel from multiple schools. Over the weekend, Zeke's Aunt Heather tried to give Zeke a little Cougar blue influence, because there is so much Ute red in the Carlile side of the family. As Heather and Zeke were watching football, she tried to teach him to say 'BYU', to which Zeke responded 'U'. Aunt Heather quickly informed him that if he had to pick just one letter, it couldn't be U. To avoid confusion, she taught him to say 'Go Cougars'.

Last night we were watching college football with Grandma and Zeke was thrilled with the kicking and throwing and running and 'all fall down' tackles and immediately decided to practice on the item that was handiest to throw long -- his sippy cup. The less than long pass was received by Aaron, and Zeke quickly complimented 'Nice catch'.

It was fun to watch football with him.

Cute! And you can tell him that his soon-to-be Aunt Carrie says that "U" is a perfectly acceptable letter to pick. :) I'm so glad it's football season again! Woo-hoo!
