Obama!

This is Tashi saying, Obama!

Okay, not really, but she's long been pretty good at ba-ba-ba and ma-ma-ma; it's just a matter of time before she strings it together. And now she has a reason to do so.

Tashi came with us to vote yesterday and watched mommy pull the levers. I thought belatedly (while in the booth) about getting her out of the stroller and having her to do it herself, but I also didn't want to make the line any longer.

We're thrilled that Tashi gets to grow up with this sort of unifying, history-making president, someone who makes us proud instead of embarrassed. I think we're all still pinching ourselves. It's the only time hearing fireworks in our neighborhood wasn't an annoyance!
