"Happy Inauguration Day"

We've been talking a lot lately about the President of the United States and how it changes every four years. We practiced saying the word "inauguration" and the kids all recognize President Obama. In fact, they think his name is fun to say. I volunteer at Cloudburst's kindergarten class on Tuesdays (thanks Bethany for helping with Tornado!) and the entire school watched President Obama take the Oath of Office. Pretty neat, considering her school is called the Lincoln Academy. What a marvelous celebration of American democracy.


Today Sunshine walked into preschool and told his teacher "Happy Inauguration Day!" She asked him if he knew what that meant, and he said Barack Obama is the new president. Then she asked what he will do now that he's president. "Make us pay taxes."
