She's Proud to be an American

The Chunster is a Patriot. She tells me all the time, "Mom, we live in the United States of America!" She loves the song "God Bless America." Most of all, she loves the United States flag. She gleefully points out each one she sees as we drive around town (do you know how many banks, car dealerships, etc., fly the flag? A LOT!!!). She will happily tell you the number of stars and stripes and then wants to know which star is for Texas. I looked for a book about Betsy Ross, but I could not find one appropriate for a 3 yr old. Yep, Chunie the most patriotic preschooler I know. Now that the 4th of July is nearing, she has been saying "MOM! It's the United States of America's BIRTHDAY!!!" I have not told her yet that the birthday party ends with fireworks. A mom has to have some surprises!
