Indoctrination

Bridget here, also known as Bridggymama.
In order to assure that we are raising Sox fans, we begin the indoctrination early.

First, we buy them Red sox clothing at an early age (Gillian, 2 months old)
Brucie- about 7 months old

Also, when dressing them in non-team specific gear, make sure the colors are basically red and blue or at least red and gray (away colors) so as to communicate that the only baseball that matters is Red Sox baseball.

Secondly: Take them to games...obviously. Bruce has been to two games.

This one when he was two months old at Camden Yards
this one when he was a whole whopping 9 months old. (notice the head to foot Red Sox apparel)
Gillian is behind in this aspect, for which we are sorry. She may have to suffice for AA or AAA ball games at first.

Thirdly: Buy them Red Sox accessories. This one in particular we use to illustrate the high highs and low lows of being a Sox fan. Bruce does indeed love his BoSox sippy cup, and thinks it the epitome of all that is good in the sippy cup universe (straw, belt clip etc). However, I most often use it to give him water, a drink he thinks served best with juice. This causes great heartache. Welcome to life as a sox fan buddy. It's like that sometimes.

Finally: Teach them the wonders of baseball on radio, the internet and TV. We have succeded in doing this with Brucie, to the extent that he says base-a-ball when we tune in to it on the radio without prompting.
You are progressing well, young apprentice.
