Yesterday Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Sydney is too young to watch tv but we did hang out all day so I could watch the inauguration. I was tearful throughout the ceremony and Sydney loved it when Aretha and I sang "My Country Tis of Thee" at the same time. I did capture this picture of her watching as Barack was sworn in so she could be a part of history.
Whitney sang it best: " I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way...". It is pretty amazing that an African American man was elected President (although I was hoping for the first female President). We tell Sydney that she can be whatever she wants when she grows up and this is the perfect example of a dream realized. So she is getting a head start by learning to read and manipulating toys with her eye-hand-mouth coordination. (OK-i might be exaggerating these skills just a little but moms are supposed to dream big!). The future is hers--and we can't wait to see what she decides to do...
