My 5th Christmas – with my new bike – and standard Tiger apparel. (Bo totally inherited my ears! I’m so sorry Bobee!)I’ve been a Tiger Fan since birth. My cousin played for the Tigers when I was little and my Aunt Sally always made sure I was decked out in the latest Tiger apparel.
My classroom (when I had my own) was totally decked out in Tigers. Seriously, I think have more Tigers ‘stuff’ than anyone I know. Even more than Mandy!
The yearbook room is also a Tiger mecca. We have a waterfall picture with a Tiger that use to be at El Rancherito, an orange and black love seat I found at a local consignment shop, not to mention our own stuffed Tiger and mascot, “Ollie”.
When I went upstairs to get dressed this morning it dawned on me — what the hell am I going to wear if I stop being a teacher? My entire wardrobe revolves around that school! All of it is either from when I was in high school, orange, has a tiger, says “teacher,” “Mrs. We.i.tl,” “Olnean,” or is from the last 5 years when shirts are a fundraiser for different organizations at least once a month and I always buy. I have no idea what “normal” people wear!
Bo apparently has caught Tiger fever as well. On Saturday we went to the outlet mall and I originally bought a Tiger stuffed animal as a gift for another friends baby. Bo latched on to it and claimed it as his fairly quickly. It is the only toy he has been really “into” so far. I think he has found his lovey… Meet “Tony the Tiger.” (Original, I know. It was either that or Hobbes — I decided I like Frosted Flakes better.)
Bo and Tony. They were a bit tired this morning after being hyped up about the Boy’s big win last night! We are going to the Final Four! Woohoo!
Bo finds Tony to be quite tasty.
Bo laughing, with Tony by his side.
He is so cute!! I love all that dark hair! And you look the same as when you were a kid! Fun post!
How cute! Chicka doesn’t latch on to any particular toy. She seems to like cuddling with a blanket the most.
Woo Hoo! Start them early! Now all Bo needs is a U of I shirt!
I am so thrilled for Olney! Where is the final four??? Are they closing the schools. If not, they should. I don’t ever remember the O Tigers going this far! Sounds like the fire department might have to bust out the truck yet again.
Your little guy is just too cute…enjoy…
