Farewell, Goldfish

As part of their parting gifts to the kids and parents, Michael's preschool always gives out a CD of tons of pictures taken throughout the year.  We had fun going through them to finally gain insight into what the heck Michael did this year, since he never gave us any kind of description of his school days.  We'd like to share a few of our favorites.  The one above really struck us because we could not believe that a.)  Michael wouldn't tell us about this special visit from cute farm animals and b.) he would be brave enough to touch them.

Speaking of farm animals, we certainly didn't hear about this magician's visit either.  Glad to see that Michael was broadening his cultural horizons, unbeknownst to us.  (Now, if this had been Katie, we would have received a full description of the entire act.)

We think this one was from the same magic show.  We just love how attentive he is here.  Contrast this to his space cadet antics at soccer class, and we can't believe he is the same kid.

Speaking of shows, check out Michael in this one (orange and blue striped shirt toward top).  See how much fun the other kids are having???  Apparently, Michael was not a fan.

Finally, we never knew how Michael's teachers did it, but they managed to get 14 little rugrats to nap in the same room every class day.  (Michael is in blue shirt and tans shorts.) We can't even get one to do it here.  We need to know their tricks, now!
