Today was a monumental day in history. It doesn't matter what side of the political coin you fall on, todays swearing in of Barack Obama was an important moment in history.
I watched most of the inauguration and following ceremonies with our son. Our daughter was much more content empying our toy box, although the police on motorcycles did get a squeal out of her. Our son asked some questions about who the president is, what he does, why we chose a new one, and what happens to the old one. I explained as best I could so that he would understand.
How did you mark the day with your children? Did you do anything special with your daycare children?
It seems that today's festivities would be a great way to launch into a discussion about how our government runs, how laws are made, and how the president is chosen.
Our children are our future. They should understand how history is made.
