Ella is a Minnesota Vikings fan, by default. Troy insisted that just as he was raised cheering for the mighty Vikings, so would he rear his offspring. "MAN LAW." (Okay, whatever, as long as she can cheer for the Cardinals during baseball season, I'm fine with that.)
Football season is an intense time around our house. Sunday morning Troy and Ella put on their purple and gold jerseys and get ready for game day. Troy is glued to TV from noon until he goes to bed Sunday night, then again Monday night. (of course, this week, we have the Thursday night Thanksgiving game.)
Some of this season has been okay. The Vikings have actually won a few games and that makes Ella's daddy very happy. When the Vikings lose--- expect Troy to be disappointed and frustrated--- until Monday or Tuesday when he starts looking ahead to the next week's game.
Ella has learned to cheer and clap when the Vikings are doing well. But she doesn't quite understand why daddy yells at the TV, when they Vikings are messing things up. I guess that's a lesson she'll learn as she gets older. Unfortunately, this weekend was another loss for the Vikings. But Ella, Daddy and grandpa Robinson all hold out hope that someday, they'll see their mighty Vikings win the Super Bowl!
