I love the poem, though. It doesn't count until you see me is definitely a familiar refrain from little ones--even if they have siblings. And I love that story /quote from Condoleeza Rice--I wondered who her dad voted for?susanbruck.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622383204401655375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-56834530160637574882019-05-25T01:47:27.608-04:002019-05-25T01:47:27.608-04:00I like the seesaw and the power the parent has pas...I like the seesaw and the power the parent has passed on to the child and the "power of the formula."Michelle Koganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575814872372518994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-56415404679871726962019-05-24T18:01:19.290-04:002019-05-24T18:01:19.290-04:00Apparently I elected Jama to say everything I was ...Apparently I elected Jama to say everything I was going to, so now I guess I don't have to.
