Quail

Andrew had the letter "Q" this week in preschool. This was brilliant as not much fun starts with "Q" and he got to learn all about an animal, a bird, a quail.

Andrew, so excited about his quail explained with arms pulled up and flapping fingers "Quails have little teeny tiny wings. So they can't fly."

And making an upside down peace sign, "They're little teeny tiny legs run super fast -- whoosh!"

And finally, "They like to live in bushes, so when we put our new trees and bushes in our yard, then we can have a pet quail and he can make a nest in our bushes. Quails are so cute."

Andrew shared all this, first with me, then with the twix, next Alex, and finally Mark. He loves birds and has carried his quail picture around in his backpack all week.
