Yesterday made me as proud as I ever have been to be an American. I don't care what ethnicity you are or what your political leanings are, you couldn't help but get caught up in "Obama fever."
One reason for Obama's popularity has been what he symbolizes to so many Americans: You truly can be anything you want to be.
Tyler has been particularly caught up in the craze as well. For a 4 year old, he has taken quite an interest in our new President. He watched him be sworn in and even enjoyed watching him dance at the Inaugural Balls last night.
How does this tie into a peanut allergy, you ask? One of the speakers at one of the balls last night was Ray Romano. I have never watched an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond" but I am a big fan. Ray Romano has a peanut allergy.
When he did his stand up routine during one of the balls last night, I told Tyler about his allergy. He watched with great interest. For me, this showed Tyler can truly be anything he wants to be. If a man with this life-threatening allergy can have a successful career in Hollywood, are there any limits on anyone with a peanut allergy life's aspirations? I think not!
So to quote our new President's motto to all Peanut Allergy Kids: "Yes we can!"

Hi, I'm Debbie. I'm so glad I found your blog today. This is such an uplifting post. I'm going to do some more reading. Please stop by my blog and say hello soon. (:
Robin, I just heard NWA has changed the peanut policy on board - now they forever lose our business. The link is at FAA website! I just wrote to them... what a shame what a shame.
I did not know Ray Romano had a PA, learn something new every day.
