Barack Obama for President

Maggie & I started our day snuggled in her bed waiting for the sun to rise, listening to our neighbor ready his garage for the neighborhood's voting poll site. We watched as the line grew as people began to wait for the voting polls to open. Maggie ventured down with her Daddy to wait in line, but grew too cold so ran back upstairs with me. With her window to her bedroom looking out on the growing line, Maggie suddenly started to entertain. ALL ON HER OWN, she grabbed her 'Maggie' canvas painting & put it in the window. Everyone in line, including her Daddy, were so struck by this that they began to chant 'Maggie for president!' So funny!!!

This evening, as it was becoming more and more apparent that Obama was going to win I turned to Maggie & said ...
Mommy - 'Maggie, I think we have a new President!'
Maggie - 'Coooool, can I open it?'
Mommy - 'No, President NOT present - goof nut!' (
Maggie - 'Oh.' (and then she TOTALLY tooted) 'Ooops, was that a duck?'
Mommy - 'Sure sounded like one!'
Maggie - 'It was MY DUCK!'

She never ceases to entertain....

But seriously, a day in the making of MAJOR history for us! The first African American President. A day I will never forget sharing with Maggie.
