Roomba

 

Roomba is our automatic vacuum cleaner.

The boys treat her like a person. They talk to her, and love helping us with her. A couple of times a week we pick up all the things on the floor, even their big toys like bikes, cozy truck, shop, chairs on tables and get ready to put Roomba on. They are good at helping us clean up for Roomba. They help us clean the brushes and push the ‘clean’ button to get her started.

We usually put her on right before we go out, then come home to a clean house. She is pretty good. Our open plan house is technically too big for Roomba to clean, and she does miss a few spots, but for the most part, we love having a Roomba..

 

This morning, as we were getting ready to put Roomba on, Ethan went up to Tracie (who was actually in the shower) and asked:

Ethan: What’s Roomba’s middle name?

Tracie: I don’t know darling

Ethan: Maybe Dora (the explorer) would know

(Ethan runs away and can be heard talking to Dora on his toy Dora phone, then comes back)

Ethan: Dora says Roomba’s middle name is Sal

Tracie: What?

Ethan: Sal, like Mummy.
