Today is election day! The kids came with to watch me vote. It was so neat to see them actually interested in what was happening! They asked tons of questions and both had opinions as to who should be our next president.
Kendall, my fourth grader, said she voted for Obama in school. When I asked her why she wanted President Obama to win, she stated a bunch of facts about him and his campaign. I was quite impressed she had picked up so much from school and the ads on TV. I can see her as more of a Democrat (she is a lot like her mama)!
Now Max, the first grader, just made me smile with his response! He said he voted for Mitt Romney because he has "strength" and oh yeah, Ben (his best buddy) voted for him too! Future Republican? Who knows, either way I am glad my children will have the right to vote when the times come! I want them to be an advocate for what they believe in. Instilling in them how important days like today are will hopefully help them on that path! The outcome may not be what they wanted but either way their voice will be heard and that in itself is an important lesson to learn!
