A Footy Team is Decided

This Friday is the breakup for kinder for the school holidays. So we get a note home saying they are having a football day and to wear your footy colours. So now we had a bit of a problem...

We have three football scarves in the cupboard: Kangaroos (mine), and Ablett scarf (from when Kel followed the cats. And this is talking about Gary Ablett Snr, not his son... but it was interesting that the scarf would still work for now.) and a Bombers scarf (from when Kel followed Essendon). Neither of us is really into footy any more, so unless Josh was going to wear all three scarves to school a decision had to be made.

First we started with favourite animals... but since there are no footy teams called the Giraffes or Zebras (!) we had to take a different approach.

I read out each of the footy teams and if Josh said he liked it I wrote it on the blackboard. We ended up with Bombers, Magpies (yuk!), Kangaroos and Swans.

Then we worked on favourite colours. He usually says that green is his favourite, but this time he said blue.

A little bit of analysis of colours vs animals and we ended up with the Kangaroos (It's all very technical isn't it!)
Grandpa will be happy!
And who knows, they may actually win a grand final this year!
