We've had many firsts already this week. On Monday, Hayley had her first experience with sweet potatoes which she seemed to take quite nicely too. So far she has had a few different cereals, avocado, and sweet potato, all of which she snarfs down quite eagerly but for some reason avocado still seems to draw the most funny faces out of her. There must be something about those avocados!
Our second first of the week occured today as we headed out to the polls for Hayley's first experience in grown up civic duty. Hayley was in prime voter position as she rode in front of me in the Baby Bjorn. As I picked up my ballot, she was quick to try to snatch it out of my hands. Apparently she thought it was HER ballot! I had to explain to her that she had to be a little bit older to vote. Nevertheless, she was bound and determined to make sure her opinion counted. (After all, she's had to suffer through the radio ads and commercials for the different political candidates like the rest of us for the past three months!) We sat down at the voting booth and she immediately began beating on the table and pointing (with slobbery fingers for extra emphasis) on the candidate she wanted. Fortunately, we have so far raised Hayley right and we shared the same mindset as far as who should win our vote.
As we handed over our ballot, she was quick to flirt with the man putting the ballots through the computer. Her efforts didn't go unrewarded and she walked away with a sticker to let everyone know she was a proud, politically active American!
