It finally happened! My “fence-sitter” son who is normally a Colts fan, has decided to throw his allegiance behind ‘Da Bears!! It actually happened when his dad and I shared with him the fact that he was very nearly named Payton–after Walter. I told him that if we had named him Payton–I would call him “Sweetness”. He looked studiously for a moment and then said–”I like Jacob…but Payton would have been COOL!!”

Then this morning before leaving for the carnival I let them watch the Superbowl Shuffle again. That did it! We have a new Bears fan, and Jake has a new nickname!! Sweetness!!
