The Butler Bulldogs


It's March Madness and that means family brackets. It's a fun tradition with the kids (and frankly me) picking their teams based on the name of the school. Well this year, Theo picked the Butler Bulldogs to win it all. And if you've ever lived with a four year old boy, you'll know why he picked Butler to win. Nathan confidently (and dare I say a bit smugly) thought he'd have the winningest bracket. But, we were all put in our place by the spirited boy who even had a Butler Bulldog dance to go along with his team wins.

Theo became a bit of a legend receiving texts, emails and calls from my family (no, he doesn't have his own cell phone or know how to check email, or read for that matter) after each win. Margie, his teacher at school, was beside herself after each win to discuss the game with him and she loved sharing his story with her friends.

He'd bound down the stairs in the morning to check the paper and squeal when his Bulldogs won. And he was so close to taking it all - though I'd say a Final Four try is pretty impressive.

The video is of him watching the end of the game and then dashing up the stairs to tell Grammie the news!
