Football

Much to my surprise and pleasure, Colin has recently taken quite an interest in football. One day, while I was watching a Cowboy game, he came and sat down next to me and started asking questions. And he watched the last half of the game with me.

The next thing I know, he is talking a LOT about football. He talked about the Cowboys, he asked who they were playing next, who were all the other teams in football, etc. Since then, he watched several Cowboy games with, although never the full game (usually a quarter or two before he'd get restless). But even when he wasn't watching, he would run into the room every once in a while to check the score and cheer on the team (or not).

What's funny is that 4 or 5 weeks prior to the season ending, another game was on TV with the Minnesota Vikings. For some reason, he really keyed into that team and kept asking me when the Cowboys would play them. I said they wouldn't play unless they both went into the playoffs. Of course, they did end up playing each other in the playoffs. Well, actually the Vikings played - the Cowboys, not so much...

Here are some pics on the boys and me playing around outside, as Colin wanted me to teach him how to juke, spin and stiff arm his way to a touchdown.
