The 44th Presidential Inauguration

This morning the kids & mommy got to sleep in a little bit. K’s school had a special event held by the schools parent club – Muffins for Mom. I took Bubs with me because I want him to get more familiar with the school he’ll be attending next year. I took advantage of being at K’s school and took her to class. I let Bubs look into the classroom and then one thing led to another. I ended up being at the school from 7:50-9:30. A little more than I had planned, but well worth it.

Of course, once we were in the classroom, Ms. Brown was trying to set up the classroom’s smartboard. All classrooms were going to show live internet feed of the Presidential Inauguration. Ms. Brown made a comment to all her students to remember where they were on this day. This was a day that they could talk about years from now. The swearing in of the 44th president of the United States - Barack Obama. I thought it would be special for me to be with them. Bubs might not remember this, but K will remember her brother & I with her.

There was a last minute change though & they ended up showing the coverage in their multipurpose room. Within minutes, the entire school was seated and quietly watching the event. Bubs went & sat next to his sister and her class for at least 30 minutes. I sat in the back with a few other parents & teachers. Nearing the end of his speech though, Bubs & I had to head out. We finished listening to it in the car as I took Bubs to his school. What a busy morning it was. I look forward to talking to K more about her day after school.
