Michelle, My Belle

So last night, Christopher requested that we watch the "60 Minutes" interview of Barack Obama so he could learn exactly what our new president has in store for the future of our country. We couldn't help but oblige our little man and so we put on CBS in between the football games. Chris was trying to convey his own economic plan to the president-elect via the television with many "goos" and "gaas." When he realized that the man on the television was not paying attention to his ideas, our boy became quite fussy and frustrated. But just as he was about to lose total patience, another person appeared on the screen and captured him immediately. When Michelle Obama joined her husband for the rest of the interview, Christopher seemed to fall instantly in love. He stopped his fussing and began to smile and coo at the new first lady. It was almost as if he was flirting with her through the television screen! When she disappeared from the screen, Chris went right back to his fussing, but as soon as she reappeared he calmed down and smiled at her again. She totally distracted him from his economic plans and when the interview was over, he went happily upstairs to take his nightly bath.
