Cody: Patties Superfan

So Cody has developed an intense love of football--which is great. It's totally organic. I didn't force anything on him. He seems to have picked it up at school. What this means is that we now go outside most afternoons and toss the pigskin. I've taken to explaining offensive sets to him, and routes. And it means that we're watching lots of football together. Which is awesome.

It also means that he has adopted a team. And because he's Pop-Pop's grandson, he's decided that he's officially for the the dominant franchise of the last 14 years. He's a Pats fan. A Pats superfan. Like, with his own flag and everything.

I can't help thinking that that's how this guy started out:

Last night we went over to Sean and Monika's place to watch the Divisional round where the Patriots hosted a feisty Houston squad. Sean let Cody where his authentic pro-gear Brady jersey. Sean went with his Coach Mumbles hoody. Here they are doing an impression of their idols before the game:

Note the thoroughly confused Faith.

The only problem was that the game didn't start until 8:15 pm. And didn't finish until 11:30. Here's what he looked like at the two-minute warning.

Note the bottle next to him.

Go Patriots.
