Peter's preschool.

Two items of interest related to Peter's preschool. First, they took and posted a picture of me showing Peter's preschool mates what a "real" firefighter looks like up close! (I did this on December 9th.)

Second, at the above web site, they have posted photos of Peter's class wearing various capes. Here's the context, per one of the teachers:

By clicking onto www.gurus.com/eccpix/ this week you will be able to see photographs of the children engaged in one of the research studies conducted last semester. This research was part of an ongoing project that explored the relationship between children and the clothes that they wear. The children were observed during multiple outdoor playtimes to determine whether the cape that had working pinwheels integrated at the wrists inspired the children to get more physical exercise during outdoor playtime. Their physical exercise was measured by pedometers. Although the photographs provide no scientific data in regards to the study one can certainly gain the impression by looking at the photographs that the children enjoyed the play that came from wearing the capes.
