Go Bucks!!!

Madeleine isn't allowed to watch television - but we made an exception to the rule today (for purely educational purposes) as she got to watch her first Ohio State-Michigan game, the greatest rivalry in sports.

Daddy was happy that The Game wasn't canceled as had been rumored on the internet.

Madeleine warmed up for the game with her Buckeye Bear, which plays the Ohio State fight song.

She was very excited about Ohio State's first touchdown - and by the end of the game she heard Daddy sing the Buckeye Battle Cry (played after Ohio State scores) enough that she probably knows the words. Daddy also used the opportunity to teach her how to spell.

Thankfully, Daddy didn't teach her the other song Buckeye fans like to sing at this time of year, although some Ohio parents do.

Of course, for little girls, football isn't nearly as much fun as a good snuggle with Mommy (that's probably true for Daddies too!).
