A Beginning of an Attempt

I am just going to try to update my blog more. Period. You may laugh, but I am going to try to update every day. I figure that if I do that I will be able to just write about that day and not have to write long novels where I try to remember what I should tell you. And then anytime you want to check, you can always expect to be able to see some new information about one of my days!
So today is about…the inauguration! (Yes, that was technically yesterday, but give me a little grace as I get going here.) I will never forget sitting in my house in Rwanda, holding Nathan on my lap, watching Uncle Rick pray for the inauguration of our 44th president—and our first African American President. It felt like I was a part of history. The Rwanda Television station showed the CNN coverage live…and I discovered when I talked to my mom and dad on the phone that there was no delay at all! Technology is amazing.
In honor of the inauguration I also enjoyed having my kindergarten class write about what they would do if they were being inaugurated as president today. Here were some of their responses:
“I would eat cake. I would cook it first, then I would eat it. I would speak to the people about what they want. “
“I was starting to say things. Then they cheered. Then they sat down. Then I went on the stage.”
“I would write a law. I would turn the lights on with my generator and the fire on with my other generator and someone would work on my chimney. I would have a car—a speedship car. I was copying things on my computer and my computer put it on the wall so I could write down the law.”
“I was eating cake and shared with the people. We have only one cup, but we shared with all the people.”
“I can eat breakfast for cake and I would go to help people. I help people every time and every time I eat breakfast for cake.”
“If there wasn’t enough food I would give the people food. And the people would cheer.”
“My dad would let me play on his computer”
Ok…more tomorrow!
