Inauguration Day

This morning I kept Marco home from school to watch the Inauguration of our 44th president. At first he thought it was neat and liked seeing all the people. You can imagine how quickly his interest faded though. I had the tv on for about 30 minutes before the actual oath and Marco was driving me nuts. I kept suggesting he go play with certain toys, he would for a few minutes and then end up right back over to me talking or climbing on me. At some point he brought me some books that make music and kept pressing buttons. This was during the benediction and I was having a hard time hearing and told him to go play somewhere else and threw the books across the room. Well, that really got a response!

"Mommy, we don't throw books! I'm going to lock you in your room and you get a time out!"

I said ok... I have a tv in my room and wouldn't mind the peace and quiet myself. So, Marco took me to my room, glared at me and said "I'm going to watch Obama!" and slammed the door. He really showed me!
