Sleeping, and it's nothing but good news

Lucy is sleeping. It is 1am and Obama has been announced the President- Elect. It is tempting to wake her (or was a couple hours ago). We decided that it is better for her to sleep and start the day with good news. It can be predicted (pretty accurately) that the news will make Lucy hop up and down a million times over, squeal with delight and scream Obama's name. It will make her so happy. And she isn't the only one.
She voted today. I let her push all the buttons on the touch-screen voting machine. She got her sticker and she was pleased with herself, but very serious about the task at hand. Harper chewed on a stroller strap and made grins with all the other voters. It was a most positive voting experience, less than 10 minutes long and we got the results we were looking for. Yes, tomorrow will be a good day.
