how things change...

the other week we went to the 50th state fair with some friends and their two year old daughter.  last year the kids enjoyed the rides but mainly rode with us.  last year, our friends' two year old was scared on the merry go round.

this year...fearless, independent kids!  granted, our friends' baby girl rode with her daddy, but for the most part, caleb and brynna were independent riders, which made me a little bit nervous at first.  i rode the race cars with brynna the first time because i remembered how it whipped around the corners, but besides that and the slide, they rode by themselves.  they even rode the mini-roller coaster by themselves, loving every minute (okay, ever second, cuz none of the rides really last many minutes...lol) of it. 

they were most scared in the petting zoo, which doesn't surprise me cuz i'm not to keen of the great outdoors or animals, so they don't get a whole lot of exposure.  caleb didn't like the goats with horns and brynna pretty much didn't like any of them. 

i think we'll have to take them one more time before the fair is over.  it's a lot of money, but it's a lot of fun for them so it's totally worth it. 

**another change worth noting - caleb has a little cough so last night when i was giving him cough medicine brynna asked for some.  i highly doubted she would take it, so i poured just a little bit for her and lo and behold, she drank it down like it was nothing!  remember, this is the little girl who used to make dave and i wrestle her down, hold her nose, squeeze her mouth, and force her to take any kind of medicine!  what a trip!!!!
