Oh please. She can join me and my 6 y.o. on the mall by a jumbotron. We're not wearing heels, either. Go ahead and stay home in you want. |
I would particularly appreciate follow up from the parents who are bringing their children. I would like to hear how much they actually enjoyed the event. |
more worried about your tot being cold however i just read that the smithsonians will all be open to be a place to warm up but who knows how many people they can hold |
I hope we don't read about them in the news.... |
I'll let you know. My 6 y.o. keeps telling me he really wants to go. Have fun in your living room. |
Actually, I've got tickets. ![]() |
PP here. Though my 6 y.o. is Metro-savy and has been to crowded stuff before (marches, etc.), I will posit that I have presented tha issue as "Are you sure you want to try this? The weather could be awful/we could be standing a really long time/it may be hard to find a place to pee/the train will be nuts, etc." He's willing to give it a whirl. I'm willing to give it a whirl. I'm betting we will be no worse for wear, and probably glad we went. |
PP without tix ![]() |
He'll remember it forever! Good luck and hope it does well! |
put training pants on him just in case you can't get to a bathroom in time! good luck though - it will be fun - just wear lots of layers and drink and eat and poop before you go! |
The porta-potties on the mall tomorrow should be dubbed party-poopers. |
i wasn't trying to be a party pooper! i was just thinking about what i would do if i were bringing my son. i think it is great that you are going. |
Second the pull up idea even for an older kid. Raisins and nuts in your pockets too. Have fun! What a great experience. |
The "party-pooper" comment was intended purely as a pun that popped up when I saw "poop before you go". It was not meant as criticism. I guess I'm a poop-popped punster. BTW, I did my crowd thing today, standing in the street outside Coolidge High for an hour, hoping to glimpse the big O. I got a camera phone shot of his limo. |
