Peanut on Inauguration Day
Posted on 21. Jan, 2009 by Karen in Peanut
Yesterday we all gathered at my sister’s place to watch the inauguration of President Obama. From 10am until 6, we sat around the dining table and watched the amazing events of the day. My 4-year old niece, the “Peanut” spent the whole day with her own personal aura of excitement. First, she got to stay home from pre-school. And second, she had all of us adults at her beck and call. I think there were times when she thought we were there just to see her.
Although she was pretty lively throughout the day, even Peanut’s mood turned serious as we all joined in the Pledge of Allegiance after President Obama took his oath of office. Peanut pulled out her American flag and her stuffed elephant named “Wall” (he sits next to the wall on her bed) and joined us. I showed her how to put her hand over her heart and although she didn’t know the words, I think she got the point.
We’re proud to be Americans again.
