I want to live in America

We're at the stage now where little Nat repeats everything we say. It can be stinkin cute...

Last week while driving through DC we picnicked on the tidal basin after driving past a few monuments. We pointed out the White House and KP taught her that it will soon be..."Barack Obama's house".

So last night we were over at moms for dinner and Barack came into our living room, as he often does on the television. Natalie screamed out of joy (she just loves him!) and proclaimed that she saw his BIG WHITE HOUSE. When the commercial was over she pleaded, "Barack Obama, Talk to ME!"

This jump started a conversation on the 4th of July; America and concepts way to big for a 2 year old. KP explained, We live in America. We're in America right now... Our House is in America.

Getting closer to bed time and after red white and blue sprinkle-covered cupcake Natalie was sorta hopped up on sugar, but also getting tired. Mom- I don't want to go home...I want to stay in America!

Which then prompted Mom and KP to break out into West Side Story re-enactment with singing and Rita Morena impressions. Bless America! Happy 4th everyone...
