Bus!

Zack recognized it for a bus when he first saw it, and we just enhanced it a bit.

Grandpa Joe's fence-stretchers

Two days ago. This 9-year-old boy named Armand really wanted to involve Zack in his chasing and fighting games (pirates and zombies mostly,) and was really very sweet and gentle, and Zack really wanted to play with him, but Zack really had no interest in fighting games. They had a lot of fun playing chase for a few minutes, but then the boy tried to teach Zack to swordfight with sticks, but Zack said, "No, no, that game is too scary!" So we went to look at the creek, and then Zack saw a girl in a pink tutu and said, "I'm going to go say hi to the princess." It turns out he is more interested in princesses than in swordfighting. The princess was not nearly as interested in a younger admirer as Armand was, but she said "Hi" back politely enough. And then we went to the bookstore, where Zack discovered graphic novels.

Grandma Dina: "That's right! You're a big boy now!"

At the doctor

We went to the doctor last night to check out a little rash on Zack's elbow that wasn't healing. It is visible in the first photo. He is chronically scared of the doctor because of the series of shots over the last couple years, but he had a lot of fun in the waiting room and after an initial breakdown when we got into the exam room, he calmed down and actually enjoyed talking to the doctor and happily let her look in his mouth and ears. We got an anti-bacterial cream and should be good to go.

Drawing

Drawing trains and buses and narrating: "Here's a wheel and here's another wheel, round and round, here's a track, all the way over here, choo choo choo, here goes the train up the hill and here's the station..."
