Despite what you may be thinking, we don't politically indoctrinate our children--at least not yet. Kristin and I are both registered Republicans. We do probably discuss politics more than the average family and we'd like to think we keep an open mind about people throughout the political spectrum.
So, the story:
On Wednesday, we turned on the State of the Union address. We weren't watching it very closely and left the room. When we came back, the kids had set up this viewing station. They brought the chairs, blankets, etc. in all by themselves and sat down just as if it were Curious George or SuperWhy.
If you recall, Alyssa called the election during the second presidential debate when she told me, without any provocation or prompting, to McCain, "He's grouchy, I don't like him." and to Obama, "I like him, he's fun."
One last plea, this is not a political post--I don't want to hear how much you all hate Obama.
This is Steve by the way.

We raise our political fans young in this family! Girls, you're invited to the next mass meeting at grandma's house!
Steve, Kammi likes people based on whether or not they are "beautiful" so like Obama based on the fact that he is "fun" seems pretty reasonable to me.
So funny! I am sure it seemed like a party to little ones, with all the clapping etc...
Is this a political statement?!
