Obama's Inauguration

I was lucky enough to watch the inauguration of Barack Obama as our 44th President with my preschoolers. Granted, their attention spans didn't allow them to focus for too long, it was still great to experience it with them, and to know that the things our country does now paves the way for their future.

After we watched the inauguration and had snack, we sat down with the kids and talked about what we watched. Here's a summary of our conversation (non-quoted parts are me speaking).

Who was that man we were watching on TV?

"Barack Obama!" --Hope

What was he doing on TV? Why were we watching him?

"He's a singer!"-- Melody
"I think he fell down and bonked his head."-- Olivia
"He was trying to talk. Talk with the people." -- Melody (LOVE this one!)
"He was talking to the people at the stage."-- Julius

You know who he is? He's our new President! What do you do when you're the President?

"Our President says you invite someone over to play with." -- Ryan (LOVE this one, too!)
"You talk to the people." --Finn
"A President stands on a stage." -- Hope
"You stand on a stage and talk." --Elijah
"A President does hello in Spanish." --Olivia

Seriously, how can you not love the things kids say? They are fantastic. I LOVE my kids! =)
