Baby's First Inauguration

Where were you when America swore in her first African-American president?


Is Nicholas really going to have to say, "In my Bumbo-seat"?

Not exactly the most dignified response you are likely to hear. But rest assured, Nicholas will never have to utter these words. His true reply will have to be, "In my crib," because though he tried to witness his first historic event, a boy's gotta nap! He did not make it past the regaled entrance of our 44th president, so he'll just have to catch it on Tivo. It's a great world in which this boy is privileged to grow up! To be perfectly honest, it is my prayer that this is a question he will never be asked. I pray that just as Will and Jack cannot fathom a world without computers, Nicholas and Gabe will never comprehend a world without the equality of opportunity. Could this world be that great?
