Zachary's Personality

We went to the neighborhood Kodak Shop because we had to get Visa photos taken to submit with our application for China visa renewal. As always, we had onlookers as we marched in with our 5 small kids. The older ones went smoothly as they sat on the stool, backs straight, looked at the camera and gave a stiff smile. Then we got to Zach (almost 4 yrs old). There was NO WAY he was going to sit still on the stool and look serious on one side of the room, while everyone else was crowded at the other end trying to make him smile. I'm not sure he completely understood why we all stayed at the far side of the room, but it was like a dream come true for him to be able to have such a captive audience and do whatever he wanted to do. He noticed the more he acted silly, the harder we tried to motion, cajole, plead and beg for him to sit up straight and look normal. He had the time of his life! When all was said and done, the camera guy gave us a CD with a few of Zach's poses so that we can pull them out whenever we want to be reminded of his funloving, crazy sense of humor. By the way, I never knew he could cross his eyes until now! Enjoy the photos below..................
