Football Sunday

Football Sunday logo. Mikey watching on his own and with Will.
Football, family and snacks! Mikey's perfect day!

How many of our posts have been football-related? A ton.  Mikey loves football.  He couldn’t explain what a first down is or a touchdown. He doesn’t know anything about the different teams, football strategy or rivalries. He just likes to sit and watch it.  He loves the colors and the movement and the excitement.

journal entry from November 16, 2014. 'football Sunday is my favorite day of the week!' photos of will and mikey watching the games.
Lots of brotherly love, but no rooting for Philly. Sorry, Eagles fans.

And he likes it best when he can watch it with the people he loves, first and foremost, his big brother and his dad.  They will always save him a spot on the couch next to them so this tradition is still going strong and will carry on for a long time!
