It is the only time during the legislative session that you'll see children on the House floor, sitting at (or on, or crawling under) legislators' desks. Today's festivities also included a sing-along of three classic children's songs (Twinkle, Twinkle Litter Star, Pop Goes the Weasel, and She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain), led by Rep. Maureen Walsh and accompanied by HDC legislative assistant Marilyn Pedersen on fiddle.
So, here's your dose of cute for the week (or perhaps, for the session) - some photos from today's Children's Day celebration, and a video of Rep. Marcus Riccelli giving his floor speech honoring children, with his two-year-old son by his side.
