So you think we're into football around here?



A post in honor of the end of football season this past weekend. This actually may be a good thing, since I've been seeing a few signs lately that maybe we are watching a little too much football. For example:

When looking through a picture book, Will identifies a ball, orange, onion, egg, and wheel as "ball." He identifies a football as "football."

We can only understand a handful of what Helen says, but one of her understandable words is "touchdown!" Maybe that's because she throws two hands straight up in the air when she says it.

My birthday is January 19. On January 12, Charlie told me that it was only "a touchdown and an extra point" until my birthday.

This is what Joseph did at school during "free work."



This is the scoreboard for an imaginary game between the New Orleans Saints ("N.O.") and the San Francisco 49ers ("S.F.). Note that it shows the number of points, first downs, "intersepshuns," fumbles, time outs, safetys, "saks," and just about any other statistic you could want to know from a football game.


This is Joseph's list of Texans players, with their numbers. #90 Mario Williams, #1 Matt Turk, # 37 Domanick Davis (I know, he doesn't play for the Texans anymore, but Will has to wear hand-me-downs so still has his jersey), #1 Kris[t] Brown, #12 Jacoby Jones, #20 Ste[a]ve Sla[y]ton, #81 Owen Dan[y]els, and #80 Andr[ay] Jo[h]nson.
