My Five Year Old is For "Bawok"
I asked my five year old today who he thought would be the next president of the United States. He looked at me as if I were asking the most ridiculous question and said, "Bawok. I thought you knew that Mommy." Then I laughed and asked him why he thought so. Then he said, "Because everybody likes Bawok and he have good speeches."

I LAUGHED MY ARSE OFF. How is it my kid knows that Barack has good speeches? I don't even think he has even paid attention or listened to one.

Then my ten year old rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, everybody knows that. Now can you please fix my PSP?"

I AM OUTDONE.

1. My 2 year old claps at all the appropriate times throughout his speeches.
She calls him "Babama". Melts my heart.

9. ah, that's too cute
My 'baby' is 21 so I do miss the sweet innocence of youth! Just make sure there is no clap, clap, point, point because that's no good.

10. That clap clap point point video cracks me up
They'll be none of that in this house!

It is fun and I'm enjoying it alot. I wish I could hit the "pause" button for awhile. But like you said, she'll always be my baby no matter what her age!

They should have left the screaming women out of the video. The kids are adorable.

3. LoL -- That is so cute. It is amazing what they can pick up.
I read a similar anecdote on the Obama site: A 3-year old is staring at the TV with a puzzled look on his face. A GOP debate was starting and he had just one question: "Where is Rock Abama?"

I mean, really, why would anyone want to watch political event without Rock? or Bawok?

:hi:

11. What kind of parent would let their child join a cult?
Congratulations. I'm sure when he's 9, he'll be able to pronounce the Rs in "Four more years!"

15. I feel so good
knowing the children of America (including Caroline Kennedy's) are choosing the president of the United States. They always have such good judgment about things.

19. A kindergarten teacher
told me her students got excited and started chanting "Yes we can!" when when they saw Obama's photo (photos of all the candidates still running last month were part of some poster or lesson about voting).

22. I took my three kids (14, 12 and 5) to see Obama at UWO...
they all did great, but after the looonnnngggg wait outside, the crush of strangers and the volume level of the crowd, my 5 year old was done about 3/4 of the way through and started whining a little bit "No bama, No bama"....my 12 year old (always quick on the uptake) turns to the couple standing next to us and says "Isn't that cute, he's saying GObama"
