Maile Fills Out Her Bracket

by Papa K on March 19, 2013

Maile is an old pro at March Madness brackets – she’s already filled out 3 of them (2010, 2011 and 2012). Tonight she filled out her 2013 bracket and for the first time, she wrote in her picks all by herself! She can’t ready yet, so I read each team name and then she picked who she wanted and wrote in the first letter or two of that team’s name. We had a blast doing it.

I was most happy that she recognized Duke without prompting and took them all the way to the Championship. Her Final Four is: Duke, Belmont, Michigan (that will make Papa Mike happy!) and Davidson. She went on an “M” run in the South and East regions taking Michigan, Minnesota and Montana to all make the Elite Eight.

Here’s her completed bracket:

BTW – It really is incredible to see how much progress Maile has made with her writing in just a year. If you didn’t click above already, definitely click over to see her 2012 bracket. Pretty cool to see that she actually writes letters now. Time flies…

(PS – Don’t worry, we’ll get Lauren involved next year. Maile was already 8 months old for her first March Madness. At 10 weeks, the best Lauren could do today is spit up on the bracket. Hmm, maybe we’ll try that tomorrow 😉
