While it stunk that I had to take a day off of work yesterday (I only have a one day work week this week!) I was able to watch all of the Inauguration festivities live. I began worrying about Michelle Obama about halfway through the day. Her coat didn’t look thick enough to me. She had to be so cold!

In all seriousness, though- what a historic day! President Obama is so poised and well spoken and I pray he has a successful presidency.

We had the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball (I love that they had this Ball, by the way) on right before the kids went to bed and B was dancing and clapping and cheering the entire time. It really put a smile on my face.

Speaking of this little cutie:

He is on a nap strike! How can that be? Doesn’t he know he is only two-years-old? Doesn’t he know he needs his sleep?

It all started when we got rid of the pacis and has only gotten worse. He will fall asleep in the car in a heartbeat and when we get home- he’s awake. He will fall asleep in my arms and I lay him down- he’s awake. I lay him straight down in his bed (which I have always done!!) and he will chat for an hour without falling asleep.

<sigh>

Stinker needs a nap!
