Anthony has almost doubled in age since he started\npreschool<\/a>, and today his tenure as a kindergartener<\/span> ended. He graduated<\/span> preschool today, and starts first grade next month.<\/p>\n\n

Anthony looks sharp in a suit<\/span><\/a>, but a kid<\/span> should look like a kid,<\/span> so the\nshorts Fumie selected maintain that perfect balance of “dressed up” and\n“still a kid<\/span>”. It's the same<\/span> ensemble that Curious George\nmodeled a few<\/span> weeks ago<\/a>, with a real<\/span> necktie and all.<\/p>\n\n

At one point the kids did a duet with the mommies, where the song took\nthe form of a conversation<\/span> that was really sweet (at least the parts I\nunderstood<\/span>). Lots of mommies cried.<\/p>\n\n

The lighting inside is absolutely horrid for photographs, with lots of\nsunlight flooding in, mixing with lots of fluorescent lights. It makes<\/span> any\nkind of consistent white-balance setting absolutely impossible.<\/p>\n\n
