Parenting

Other than "mama" and "dada", my son's other two spoken words are "ball" and "goal"

That means I'm doing something right... doesn't it?

 

Certainly. Just wait until you hear him chant "come on Fulham," then measure your grin. Good stuff.

 

:clap: Great stuff Evan! Will Mama approve when out of the blue your son says 'Chelsea sucks'? :shock:

 

Mom might ask "Chelsea who?" She's pretty good at tuning out most sports related conversation.

 

I tried to teach my nephew C'mon Fulham and then Come On You Whites when it became clear that Fulham was a bit too much for him. The end result was Go Whites. So for the first 3-4 years of his life, I'd get "Uncle Matt, are you watching Go Whites?"

Come to think of it, I've not done well by that kid. Between Fulham, the Aggies and the Capitals, I've really saddled that kid with some historic duds. At least A&M is on the up at the moment. And he's a Spurs (San Antonio, not Tottenham) fan so I guess he'll have to get most of his joy from that.

 

Means you are doing everything right.

I have a pic of Kendall when she was 6 months old. She is facing forward but her head is turned to the right as she is looking at the TV which has a soccer match on.

I took Kendall to her first soccer match, NE Revs, 2 years ago when she was 2/12. She thought we were at a Fulham match. 2 days later we went back to Gillette Stadium as they had walk on the field for charity event, we went with my brother ad his son. As we pulled in to the parking lot she yelled out "Fulham!"

Couple of my proudest moments.
