You Know You're a Hawkeye When...

You know you're a Hawkeye when "Iowa" is the first word you can spell. That's right: Isaac might not be able to write his own name yet, but he spelled Iowa with stickers tonight. The funny part is that I asked him what it spelled, and he replied, "Go Hawks!" Thanks to Ryan and a teacher who's a die-hard Hawkeye fan, he has learned the chant, "I-O-W-A...Go Hawks!" and apparently, it has made an impression on him. :) Ryan is so proud!
