Romney started water polo this summer. He'd like to play for the high school team in the fall, so we started with water polo camp during the summer. His teammates are a great group of guys. The first day, they asked if he was related to Mitt Romney. He said yes, so now his nickname is "Mitt." Even the moms call out "Get it, Mitt!" during the games. Too cool. A little confusing, though, last week when one of the members of the opposite team really was named "Mitt." (How weird is that?)
Rom's coach is toughening him up and giving him LOTS of playing time. It seems to be paying off, too. Rom is getting a lot more aggressive, and he even got EJECTED from the game today! Woot! Go, beast! Just kidding -- in water polo, when you get ejected, it's just for one play. His teammates do a lot to help him get the hang of it, too. I like it, because he comes home too tired to get into trouble. Very nice!
By the way, I stole this Smilebox layout idea from Suzann -- it was too perfect!

Very cool. I think being in a sport makes the adjustment to HS easier. He looks like a natural!
Marco Polo is easy, water polo is hard. Way to go Rommers! I think you should tell them your name is Rommers; which is way cooler than Mitt!
Nice Speedo Rom! And you looked so stylin' in that hat thing you were wearing!
