Yeah, I'm excited but I would describe it more as the sort of excitement I feel when the last episode of a television series I've watched for years is about to air. I'm pretty sick of this "show" so I'm not sad its ending but at the same time its been a part of my life for so long that I have to watch it.

Question: Can you take your child in to the booth with you? Thought it would be cool to take "E" with me.

We are bringing our 7mo. I'm going to vote where she points.

I went with my parents when I was a kid. She let me punch the holes and made it a big learning experience about democracy and all the good stuff.

I saw people with their kids this morning. The guy next to me had his 2 year old and was telling him things like, "Daddy is voting," "I make marks on the paper next to who I like." Though I don't know what the election officials might think if you tried to pick up your kid and show them every detail.
