Donatello................

Walker wanted to make eye contact with him, funny boy!

Ahh, tempting fate and sticking that finger out there just far enough!

This was a fun day at the school! The first grade classroom received a special guest for the winter. This tortoise belongs to a teacher in McCall but he thought that he needed to send him 'south' for the winter! He didn't get so far south to enjoy warm weather and the beach but he did make it to Council! The kids loved trying to coax him out of his shell and he did oblige a few times. I told Tallis to be soft with him and quiet, I don't think that either one of those words are in her vocabulary. She snuck up to him and then jumped up and yelled. I was not pleased but at least he didn't leave any droppings on the floor out of sheer terror! Donatello is six years old and has a life expectancy of at least one hundred. Make that ninety-seven, Tallis took at least three of those and gave him gray hairs. Sorry Donatello!
