I voted this morning with my 21 month son in the Tula and my 3 year old daughter holding my hand. We had to wait about 20 minutes and they did great!

@oliviaoblivia: exact same scenario for us. My DH took DS to vote 2 years ago and he still remembers it!

I voted early while older sister was in preschool. I took the 9 month with me. The line wasn't too long so I just held him. I voted early for one reason and that was so I wouldn't have to take both kids in (schools are closed on Election Day)

I voted early and wore my son. The ladies at the polling place were super nice and offered me one of the seated voting stations (which I declined, but I appreciated the thought!)

I voted by mail for the first time this year. My son hates being confined and I didn't want to rush. I did sit down next to my daughter and talked to her about what I was doing and why it was important. We also went as a family to vote in the primaries.

DD1 will be at the sitter's. DD2 (it'll be her one-week birthday) will come with. I'll just wear her.

i have an absentee ballot, but i am actually choosing NOT to mail it in and take both my girls with me to drop it off. i'm excited to have them be a part of my historic vote!

I voted early and she came with me. She was very patient and because I had looked at the ballot ahead of time it only took me a few minutes from giving my name to putting the envelope in the slot.

We thought about taking LO with us but we are going to go while she's at preschool Tuesday.

I brought my 1.5 year old in the baby carrier and she received her own "future voter" sticker

We took her with us this morning before daycare. Only had to wait 5-10 min and they allowed her to go into the voting booth with DH and gave her a sticker so she had a great time.

Luckily DH kept them at home while I voted. It took an hour to stand in line outside (it was chilly and sprinkling), they would have lost their minds.

I took DS (4.5yrs) with me! Polls opened at 7am and we were there around 7:30, no line at all. He thought it was pretty neat and was asking a lot of questions after. He got his own sticker too.

We didn't wait long to vote but he was with his grandparents. He's not typically with us during the day but the schedule was a little different because he didn't have school today. I was very aware of the little one in my belly as I voted to hopefully do the right thing for him or her!

She came with me. I held her up to show her what I was doing. On the drive to work I told her why we were voting and who our options are.

It was actually really important to me to have DD with me when I voted today (DS went later in the day with DH). It was 30 degrees and we waited for 45 minutes (I was wearing her).

Brought both of them with me- we had no wait whatsoever and I wore the baby in the carrier. No stickers at our location but a worker gave my toddler candy sonshe was happy. The only delay was all the old people stopping to talk to my cute kids (our polling location is a senior center).
On the way there I was explaining it to my 3 year old daughter and she said, one day, I want to be president. I know she doesn't even know what that means but I got kind of choked up.

Today I went before work, he was with DH.
Previous years I've taken him with me.

Ive taken DD with me every time. This morning we all went together. I'm pretty pregnant so they gave me a booth with a seat, and she sat on my lap. She was a little pissy that I wouldn't let her push the big red button to vote

I strapped them both in the double stroller and we walked. The stroller barely fit in the doorway but it was easier to keep track of them that way.

We just went - I especially wanted M with me. In and out in 3 minutes!

we voted early on a day that DS' school was closed -- I felt it was important for him to come with me, but didn't want to risk huge long lines. From now on, voting will be a family affair.

Took them with me! They've been learning about it in school so it was nice for them to see it all in person.

I brought my girls... One on my hip and the other by my side as I cast my vote
