Almost famous

With his outstanding 3-year-old talent, it was only a matter of time before Sports Illustrated was forced to take notice of Brady Hoots. A little earlier than I thought, and not for anything that has to do with his actual athletic abilities, but Brady's pregame video has gone viral and has been picked by local news as well as Sports Illustated and USA Today. As of now, it has gotten 145,000 views on Facebook, which is over 10 times the population of Eric's hometown, and basically, is nuts.

Here is a YouTube version for your viewing pleasure (because I don't know how to link Facebook).

 

Here is what the video doesn't tell you:

-Brady was donning his full uniform on prior to the song, but insisted on putting his warm-up shirt back on when the song started.

-I was not the videographer (it was Leslie Davis, Hubert's wife), so I can take no credit for capturing the sweet moment. I was the makeshift manager who Brady the his warmups to after the song.

-Reading through stranger comments on WRAL TV's Facebook account was a parenting ego boost. Lots of praise for raising him right, respecting the song, etc. Of course, we basically have nothing to do with that. Monkey see, monkey do. If the players mooned the crowd during the national anthem, Brady's buns would also be on full display.
-Brady got in the bath tonight for the first time in a few nights.  When he got it said bathtub, he was still wearing the same yellow socks from the video.  Tonight is Wednesday, the game was Monday, which means he had the socks on for over 48 hours.  Telling Brady to change his clothes because they've been on too long is something I never have to do about never, so the yellow socks just slipped through the cracks.  Meanwhile, he probably changed every other item of clothing 12 times during that period.
-I have an ongoing feud with the usher in our area regarding my children in the aisle.  Basically, nothing (or nobody) is allowed in the aisles at any time (walking down to get to your seat is barely acceptable).  Of course, the aisle is exactly where my children want to be.  Because duh, then you don't have to look at the back of the heads of people who are 3 feet taller than you.  Thankfully, Brady and Jackson's mother is a rule-breaking rebel who lives on the edge.
