appropriately garbed, but he still can’t do the Gator chomp
All three of my grandchildren have outgrown their Gator shirts at the same time, midseason.  I shouldn’t be surprised. They all grow like weeds and one weed grows about as fast as another.
Robert’s new shirt was featured in a recent post. (NOTE: Check sporting gear category at top of page for more articles on team duds.) Laurel’s puff sleeved tee will be detailed next week.
Now Alastair is game ready, decked out in yet another Ralph Lauren Polo one piece suit, clearance priced. It is newly disenfrancished from the sport of polo and rededicated to Gator football.
Gator boys, Granddad and Alastair
As on my grandson’s previous Polo-to-Gator outfit, the pocket was removed, the embroidered polo pony picked out and the fighting Gator stitched over that very spot. Ralph himself is likely a Gator fan so I expect he probably would be pleased to see the new University of Florida football version of these baby duds. Or maybe no. Whatever.
Recently, we spent the weekend with Alastair and his parents and we all nervously watched the hard fought Gator win over Arkansas. Now he and his proud Granddad are all decked out and ready for today’s  game against Vanderbilt. Go Gators!
