I love how the teens (and Eric) have risen to the occasion of entertaining the younger class (3-5) while they await the others (they go to the store first but with 25 of them last night, they have to go in groups of 5 or so). The littles sit down before assembly and the puppets randomly pop up for 10 minutes or so, getting waves, cheers, and shrieks of delight every time. The bird is the showstopper. They adore him!

Rather odd bird!! I bet he is friendly, once you get to know him!!
