The inauguration and your family
By now, you've probably planned how you'll mark the inauguration of Barack Obama today.
Maybe you have the day off because your kids do, or maybe -- like me -- you've gone to work, but will be trying to watch from your desk.
Or maybe this wasn't your president of choice and still isn't, and you're wondering how to navigate that with your kids amid all the excitement over Obama.
I'd like to hear what you're doing and how your kids are reacting to the big event. (Associated Press photo/Lynne Sladky)

loved watching kids watch the speech -- lot of them falling asleep.

Some friends and I gathered at my house with our young kids to watch the festivities. The kids popped in and out, mostly not paying any attention. When I had some one-on-one time with my four year old, I replayed the oath for her and she could empathize with my excitement. Since my kids are ages 6 and under, I only expect them to remember this was a big deal, not really why it was a big deal.
