Here's a conversation I had with my girls today about the presidential inauguration, our country, and our new president as of today.
Me: Girls, do you know what country we live in?
Leah: Oklahoma
Me: That's our State, but do you remember the name of our country?
Hannah: The United States of our Flag.
Me: prompting a little....The United States of.....
Hannah: Oh! The United States of America!
Me: Good!
Me: What does the President of the United States do?
Hannah: Takes a present to someone.
Leah: He goes up on a stage.
Me: Do you know the name of the new President?
Hannah: Goo Goo
Me: No.... again, prompting....Barack
Hannah: Like Barackasaurus! (Remember we're learning about dinosaurs and most recently the brontosaurus.)
Me: Laughs....No, Barack O.....
Hannah and Leah: Barack Obama
Leah: The old one was named Bush.
Me: That's right! Nice memory.
Me:Where does the President live?
Hannah: In the White House!
Me:Where is the White House?
Hannah and Leah: Far away
Me: What would you do if you became President of the United States?
Leah: I would be a baker, a librarian, and a medicine man. And give high fives!
Hannah: I would be a mommy and a baker president.
Me: Girls, are you glad you live in the United States of America?
Hannah and Leah: Yep. Are we done now?
Me: Yes.
I'm glad we live in a country where my girls could grow up to be a president. And a president that bakes, loves books, has her pharmacy degree, and is a mommy to boot. Love it!
