Working on: As always - going to bed
---------------------------------

Today Roman first watched football with Daddy. Then he went upstairs where Mama was actually reading (for about 10 minutes uninterrupted). Roman wanted to play football himself! So he grabbed a little beanie football we have and would throw it across the room, run and fall, roll over, and say "grab me! Mama, fall!" Basically he wanted me to tackle him. So after playing awhile and straining my back, I called on Daddy to come up and continue "playing football." Roman is getting to be such a BOY now, we have to remember to "rough and tumble" with him.

After nap we went to the cowboy store, a Western-style clothing store. Too expensive. Roman and Mama both had a meltdown (luckily not IN the store) at each other, but we both said sorry (to Daddy, too!) and moved on.

Then we went to the marching band competition at a neighboring city. We ate dinner and watched 3 bands perform. Roman was marching back and forth in the stands, but watched the bands intently when they were playing. For the last band, he danced, spun in circles, and kept calling out "one more song! one more band!" Would've tried to stay for one more band but it was freezing!
