Taking kids to the polls

Just have to say I love this photo. I took River to the polls with me
On Tuesday (he also came with us when we voted for Obama). He pushed
all the buttons as I instructed “that one, now that one, now that
one,” then he got to push the big red button to send it all off.

Later, when we passed a small group of people at an intersection
rallying for their candidates, he asked what they were doing and I did
my best to explain.

Government, politicians, it’s probably all blissfully over his head
right now. But he has voted. And pushing buttons is fun.
