01.20.09


I hope you remember today Ella. When I picked you up at school our conversation went like this:


Me: Ella, we have a new President, do you know who?

Ella: Yes.

Me: Who?

Ella: I don't know.

Me: Yes you do, who?

Ella: Barack Obama?

Me: Yes!
And then I did to her what I hated when I was young and made her watch the speech. I don't know, she's three, maybe won't remember, or maybe will but it was such an important day that I wanted to see it with her.

This is so cute. Yes, it was quite a day!! We even woke Hilliard up (at 5 months old) to "watch" the oath and speech. My husband refused to lie to him some day when he asks if he "saw it"!! Your posting choked me up. It is certainly "a new day"..... :)
