Happy 4th of July

This week on facebook, I have noticed multiple postings upset that they don't say the Pledge of Allegiance in schools anymore.  In response, I wanted to post a video that I have already posted on facebook in the past couple of weeks.

I was getting Bobby dressed and put on his Old Navy flag shirt.  He went over to the mirror and started running his hands over the flag...must have been the stripes that caught his attention.  I said, "I pledge allegiance" and Bobby finished.  After I picked my mouth up off of the floor, I ran to get the camera hoping that he would repeat it at least one more time.  Thankfully he did.  I must confess that he has never heard me say this to him and it is not on one of his Elmo or Blue's Clues videos.  He has, however, heard it every school day morning for the past 4 years.  A different child comes into the school office everyday and says the pledge over the pa system. 

I am not sure if the decision to say the pledge in school is a school by school, district or state decision.  I do know that Bobby is listening to everything and that Skyview Elementary, Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia, USA says the Pledge of Allegiance everyday.

Happy 4th of July!!!!!
