We went to a basketball game last night at Roanoke College. They recently chose a mascot, a hawk named Rooney. Rooney surfs through the stands, shaking hands, giving high fives and hanging out with the spectators. Kaitlyn was terrified of him last year. This year is no different. Once she spots him in the crowd she obsesses about where he is and how close he's getting to her. I took her up to him last night and she gave him a high five but she never really let go of my neck. He gave her a stuffed Rooney which she gladly accepted and even enjoyed playing with once we were back to our seats and the big Rooney "duck" (which is what she calls him) was gone. She even slept with her stuffed Rooney last night and it was the first thing she reached for when she woke up. I think she likes the little stuffed one better because she's bigger than it is and she can control his movements.
