Today Zeb went to the dentist. He was unreal. Amazing. No cries. No whines. No whimpers.  They did x-rays. They did a thorough cleaning. They even did some scraping.  I was über impressed with the kid-as was the dentist.  I used to have to be medicated before I went and got my teeth cleaned!  He obviously doesn't have my dentist anxiety.  Here are some poor quality cell phone pics.  He was so excited to tell the dentist that he has twenty teeth.

 Ike, on the other hand, threw an all out screaming banshee fit with his medical visit.  Yesterday the little rascal took a head dive off the bench in church and fell smack onto the edge of the bench in front of us. It was deep and looked very painful. He wailed and wailed. Kent snatched him up and took him to urgent care to get stitches (they actually gave him the glue since apparently stitches are a thing of the past) and I took Zeb to sit with our friend, Wendy, so that I could go up and give my talk!  Zeb did great during church but Kent says Ike was FREAKING out while they fixed him up.

Here's the monkey later that day. We went to another new park (Secor park is also incredibly beautiful!) to check it out. We did run into a few swampy situations but enjoyed our outing nonetheless.  I think Ike had fun- but who knows with him. He's got this look on his face frequently.

Zeb has always been in to STOP signs. He knows that they are octagons and he knows that all octagons have eight sides- but he still insisted on stopping and making sure all eight sides were present and accounted for.

We ended up walking a little longer than we had anticipated and the only thing we could do to get Zeb moving faster was scare him. We are baaad baaad parents. He's now convinced that crocodiles and bears live in the Toledo woods and that the woods are extra creepy.
