This is a rare post - written by Nathan. Michelle bought me season tickets to BYU football . . . she definitely knows how to score the points. I thought it would be really cool to go to the games with Daniel, Liam, and Caleb. Daniel and Liam attended the BYU/Utah rivalry game (not a good outcome for BYU) and I was worried that it would sour the boys on Cougar football. Daniel kept saying to me throughout the game "The Cougars HAVE to win, they just have to win!" That was a humbling game and a hard lesson to learn that your favorite team can't win all of the time, every year. The rest of the games, however, have been significantly better. Daniel has been to every game since and he's really catching on. He knows to yell loud when the Cougars are on defense and to be quiet when they're on offense - but to yell loud when they make a good play. His face lights up and he jumps around when the Cougars score points. He loves to take pictures of the players, look over the edge of the stadium to the people below, and get a souvenier at the game. But his favorite thing to do? It is lining up to high-five the football players as they leave the field after a win. I cannot do justice to the joy and elation that Daniel displays after each game when he gets to high-five the players. I thought he would never wash his hand again after the first time. Even if we don't get home until after 11:00 pm, Daniel won't go to bed until I've showed him on the computer the picture of each player he got to high-five.
