I was very pleased that both Joshua and Rebecca were able to watch President Obama's inauguration live this past week at their respective schools. It's very important to me that my kids are aware of key national and world events. We had been talking about the presidential election for the past year, and both kids knew who the players were. There was a time this past Fall when Joshua told his grandmother that he wanted John McCain to win, just to mak
e her mad (he succeeded). And the rumor is, Joshua was the only one in his class who could name the new president.
Rebecca knew the names of the all the top administration officials under Bush, so now we are learning all the new names under Obama. I'm trying to get a handle on all the new names and faces myself.
This inauguration was such an historic event for so many reasons, that I'm really happy it wasn't just an ordinary day in school for both kids. I keep telling them it was a day they will remember for the rest of their lives, but for now they have both moved on to bigger and better things, like playing in the snow and feeding our new goldfish.
