Hoosier or Boilermaker

Dear Henry,

Since you live Indiana then you will learn that there is a healthy rivalry between Indiana University and Purdue University. Grandpa Tim and Mommy have had a running joke about the merits of one school over the other. Grandpa Tim's family tradition had been Purdue. Mommy's family tradition has been IU.

While Grandpa Tim was visiting last week he bought you a little Purdue outfit. Mommy put you in it and EVEN THOUGH it is Purdue you still looked pretty cute in it.

Grandpa Tim looked proud of himself. You can wear it around the house but I'm not about to take my baby out in Bloomington, Indiana, home of Indiana University in a Purdue outfit. It could be outright dangerous! Our neighbor bought you an IU onsie you will be able to wear in a month or two. Mommy plans on taking a photo of you in it and sending it to Grandpa Tim sealed with a kiss. For now you can wear the Purdue onesie around the for play, as that is fitting for those Boilermakers...right Grandpa Tim?

Love you,
Mommy
Proud IU graduate
