Growing up in the New Jersey/New York area, Henry has some obvious choices for "his" NFL team. Let's see... Jets? Giants anyone? Even your Eagles would make sense. Nope. Not for our Henry. He LOVES the Baltimore Ravens. I wonder, is it because of Michael Oher's inspiring story? An affinity for purple and black? Fan of Edgar Allan Poe?? Whatever the reasons, the Ravens fill his seven year old heart with joy.
Over the weekend, Henry's dream came true and he got to watch the Ravens play the Broncos. As father and son left for Baltimore on a perfect fall day, I suggested they buy a souvenir t-shirt or sweatshirt at the stadium. I made it clear that a team jersey wasn't as practical. (moms, as we know, are practical) As I recall, I said this to my husband THREE times on his way out the door. Well, as you can see, Henry's heart is joyful, and I must admit, he looks adorable in his team jersey.
GO Ravens! GO #74!!
