Mom & I Rock the Vote

Today Kai came with me to cast my ballot in this historic election. I welled with hope, thinking of all the elections to come, where I will bring my child with me to show him the importance of participating in our democracy. Our hope for him is that he will understand the power of his voice in this process and take advantage of every opportunity to express it (in voting, not in teenage defiance-a mom can wish can't she?).

On a lighter note, yes, those are clothes hanging on the wall behind me. Our polling place this year is normally a clothing store.
