Melina was decked out in her new Penn State cheerleading uniform for the game against Purdue yesterday. However, she decided that she would initiate a new mascot for Penn State- "Ruff Ruff" the Giraffe. This was John's favorite toy when he was a boy and I had hidden it in her closet, but she "discovered" it and it has not left her side. We did win yesterday, so whatever works! (For those superstitious fans, I will be sure to have her cuddle with it during next week's game!)
