From my blog, At Donna's Discretion
Since this day is a day most people will always remember and a day that our kids and grandkids may ask us about for their school projects in years to come, I thought I'd ask. Where were you during this historic day? I picked my three year old son up early from pre-school to make sure he got to see the swearing in. Even though we couldn't be there, I wanted him to remember and understand the importance of this day. We came home, rushed in the door, turned on the TV and started to watch. You could even feel the excitement in our humble little home in Southwest Virginia. He was very excited during the ceremony, but when President Obama was sworn in, he stopped in his tracks, sat completely still and focused (as seen in the picture). When it was all done he said, "Barack Obama is President, he was inaugoorated!"
I hope he remembers this day. But if he doesn't, I've got pictures AND video of him participating in this historic day.

I listened to the actual 'moment' on satellite radio in the car (just coming home from gymnastics) but I watched the whole thing as soon as we got home. My kids tried to pay attention, but they were only focused a few minutes at a time. So, I wrote them a letter about it all and posted it on my blog :) Figured they will appreciate it all when they are older!
