Hey, That's Martin Luther King!
"Hey, that's Martin Luther King!" Gabriel exclaimed, pointing to the t.v..
The 6:30pm national news was recapping Martin Luther King Day events, using his "I Have a Dream" speech to anchor the coverage. I was impressed that Gabriel recognized his image and, more importantly, that he moved closer to the t.v. to hear his words.
Hannah, for her part, watched Gabriel get excited. She was busy playing with her toys nearby, but caught Gabriel's excitement long enough to entertain him with a checking glance. She quickly returned to playing with her toys.
Of greater interest to Hannah was our new Wii game: Wii Fit. Yes, we've taken the plunge. Today, we celebrated Martin Luther King Day with ten plus minutes each on the Wii Fit board. Day Two for all of us. Hannah laughed particularly hard at my exclamations of "Yeah!" at achieving three-out-of-four stars for most of my Yoga activities (we'll gloss over a few of my aerobics scores for now, though).
Tomorrow, of course, we officially install President Barack Obama. Gabriel will be off at school; Hannah will be home with Mom. I will be at work, missing the wall-to-wall coverage. But later tomorrow night, we'll all return home to watch replays, DVR'd coverage, and a few of the specials we've recorded. Then, I'm sure, we'll return to Wii Fit: Day Three.
