I knew he would get up; he had fallen asleep too early.  He was tired though.  After spending a good 3 hours at the pool with his cousin, and going down the water slide like 15 times, he was definitely beat.  That’s why he fell asleep in the car about 7pm.  It was about 11pm that he got up, interrupting our Shameless marathon.  I went to check on him. 

Normally, he’ll fall back asleep.  We’ll make the walk from his bed to our bed, I’ll lie down next to him for a few, and he’s out… but not tonight.  He was up.  So we started talking.  He asked me who the best player of all time was for the Blackhawks.  I told him about Bobby Hull & Stan Mikita, both guys who have statues outside the UC.  He asked who was better.  I told him Bobby Hull.  Then he tells me about this idea he has.  He wants a picture of Ernie Banks, Michael Jordan, Bobby Hull, and Walter Payton; he wanted a picture of all the best players for all of his teams.  I guess the apple does fall close to the tree…

Of course, I said “great idea buddy!”.  I said, let’s look for it.  I punched in a couple searches on Google, and flipped through the images.  It didn’t take long.  I clicked on the link and it took me to eBay.  The price was right too, only $6.99, plus $4.99 for shipping; I bought it.  Then he asked me where should we hang it…  we’ll still have to figure that out.  I love this kid.

Yeah, we started him early.  It wasn’t a great start… the first significant event after Opening Day at Wrigley 2012 was the Derrick Rose injury.  From there it got better; he saw Cups in 2013 & 2015, and of course the World Series in 2016.  Now, he’ll get to see his first ever Bears playoff game!  Maybe Super Bowl win???  We have already started talking about what jerseys we will wear each round of the playoffs.  Here is how it looks at this point:  Game 1- Mack for him, Butkus for me, Game 2- Trubisky for him, Urlacher for me, Game 3- Mack for him, Payton for me, and for the Super Bowl, Payton for both of us.  I can dig it.  We may change which one of the 3 Bears jerseys we each will wear for each game, and that’s OK.  I just hope we get to wear them all once, and another twice. 

Yes, it’s all about our teams, but it will be all about his teams for the foreseeable future.  Floor hockey will be starting in 2 weeks, and from there, back to baseball.  Of course, he’ll be swimming the whole time, and hopefully some ice skating; finally got a little cold this weekend.  We have been playing a lot of football lately, but that has already been nixed… and that’s OK.  We have plenty to keep us busy.  Should be another fun year in 2019 with my apple.  I can’t wait.
