Touchdown!

Jeb has tried to foster a love for football in Alanna. She gets excited every year about the 'football recital' (Superbowl) and has her own pom-poms courtesy of Aunt Woogie. She even rooted for the Zebras last year (Colts).

The other night during date night she proved to our babysitter that she doesn't quite have the fundamentals of the game down yet and Jeb has some more work to do next season.
Alanna and the babysitter were playing train. Train involves Alanna getting into a huge cardboard box that she's decorated, saying 'Chooooo Choooo' and the sitter gently rocking the box until they get to their imaginary destination. The destination of choice that night was a football game.

The babysitter yelled out "Alanna, it's a football game! The team needs your help! Quick go get a touchdown!"

Alanna promptly hopped out of the box, ran to the middle of the room, reached her hands WAY up in the air then crouched down with her fingertips on the floor.

The sitter stood puzzled for a moment as Alanna held the pose, then asked "Alanna, what are you doing?"

Alanna looked at her with conviction and a bit of a 'duh' tone, "I'm touching down!"
