True Colors

In case you didn't know we are a red, white and blue family. Not the red, white and blue of the American flag--that's not our style. No, the red, white and blue of Nacho's favorite Spanish soccer team--Atletico Madrid. Even though he doesn't get to spend many weekends at Nevada Smiths in Manhattan watching them play on TV like we did pre-baby, Nacho is still a diehard fan. It's just in his blood. So naturally, I knew Elisa would inherit some of this fascination with her Papa's team. When she received a personalized Atleti jersey for her birthday, I thought it fitting that she would start out cheering for a team she can't even pronounce yet. And when I walked in after work last week and saw her dressed in the team kit for the first time, I had to laugh. Here she is showing her full support for the game.
From the back, it's even better...

Practicing her deep squats for the warm-up, I'm sure.
And smiling even though they lost. Because if there's anything that Atleti has taught me in 10 years of knowing Nacho, it's that they LOVE to lose. Really. Nobody does suffering like Atleti. Hopefully Elisa won't mind.

Ah yeah... I bet she tears up the place when they lose... smashing beer glasses, throwing stools... lock up your breakables.
