the health fair

Yesterday we went to the YMCA family Health Fair and the kiddos had a blast. Zeb was most excited that he got to go to school/work with Kent (the fair was on campus) and that his favorite "teacher" from the kidzone, Miss Erin, was there.  She calls our kids "Z-e-b" and "I-k-e" because Zeb is very particular about making sure their names are spelled correctly on their name tags every day.

The kiddos did crafts, played games, ran through obstacle courses, and had snacks.  The event was pretty educational and successful except for the argument Zeb had with the "safety booth lady" about crossing the street.  He insisted that he does it by himself and never crosses with me.  He was not about to step down or concede that he needed to cross with me.  Finally, I at least got him to tell her that he always looks both ways first.   In my defense- I do not let him cross busy roads without me!  I think he's a little stubborn and likes to be right. I'm not sure where he gets those traits.

I can't get him to look at me.  ever.

This kid loooovees markers.

I think at least half of all Ike pictures are of him in this position. He loves to crouch down like that.  It must be lots easier than just sitting.
