1. A good political move
The more people view her as a grandmotherly figure, the more difficult it will be to attack her.

2. I've always noticed the kids at these events.
Usually the highest form of entertainment at these events during the GOP years.

5. ABC explained that swearing-in is the only day kids are invited to the floor.
It's a tradition.

6. Is Speaker Pelosi the first to invite children to the podium?
Here, she takes her oath, surrounded by children

7. It does make one smile, doesn't it?
In 50 years those little kids will be showing those photos to their grandsons and granddaughters. They'll say, pointing to one of the kids in the photo, "Look, that's me!"
