My 4 year old son said the most wonderful thing today.
We were looking at an Obama slide show with pictures of Obama
and his family, the crowds, and close-ups of Obama meeting
supporters.  With every picture, my son said, "That's us.
 They are all of us."

I told him that he's right - this is all of us.  And we should
never, ever forget that!

Peace.

6. Aww
I occasionally engage my nine yr old in what's going on. Shes still remember what we and so many other families chanted four years ago..."Bush is scary, Vote For Kerry". She was around your son's age. They DO remember, trust me! She is stoked about Nickolodeon kids voting online for Obama.

How precious, and how lucky we all are to share this with our kids and grandkids. Our kids will be running for offices in the future yet!

7. You just made me think of something!
My first grandchild will be born next spring, during an OBAMA ADMINISTRATION!
I'm so glad she/he will join us after the Bush horror is over.
