Today my mom was vacuuming the basement while I played with Roman. He was so curious about the noise he crawled over to the steps. I carried him down to see what was happening. He crawled all around the basement, following my mom and watching the vacuum cleaner. She even got right up close to him with it running and he didn't flinch. Amazing. So I thought to myself, I wonder if he's enthralled with vacuuming? Doug would probably say no, just noisy things with power cords. :)

Roman was up at 4:30am again this morning. Doug got up with him, then I followed at 6am. A long day. Had the swim league meet tonight, we won with 1,054 points (second place had 936 points). I got pushed into the water, as is tradition for coaches. I had forgotten, and called Doug at 6pm to ask for a change of clothes when I realized we were _way_ ahead and looked like we were winning.

Tomorrow Dyedushka comes back (my dad) to see his grandson again. That will be nice.
