Pierre Von Gobble

Seriously, that's his name.

When I dropped little e off at school yesterday, the school nurse who got her out of the car (they have curbside service there) asked if we had seen the turkey.  It turns out, Pierre is one of the teachers' pets (heehee... teachers pet) and she brought it to school so the kids could see a turkey up close and personal.

KK and I decided to investigate.

I have never seen a turkey that close and he was really friendly.  We were able to pet his head and touch his feathers.  The head of a turkey is strangely soft and fuzzy and squishy.

KK was intrigued by his wiggle belly button... uhm, nose thing.

After school, we stopped by to see Pierre one last time and get a picture of little e with her newest friend.

Don't you wish your kids' school had a pet turkey too?

wow! i'm glad he was so friendly. i remember a turkey that a family friend had growing up and he was definitely not friendly. we had to carry a whip around their farm whenever he was out, just to keep him away! your girls are so adorable =)
