Hey...Four Eyes!

I am praying that this is not uttered today! If so, it will be a crushing blow.

You see, yesterday I had to be the good mommy and take Boog to the eye doctor. For about a month now, we have been noticing that she may not be seeing too well. When we would be driving, she couldn't read us some of the signs. This is not normal. Caroline is really bright, and has been able to at least spell out signs since she was around 2.5 {I swear, I am not being the boasting mommy...anyone who knows her knows she is advanced for her age}, and read simple signs for a year or so. Now she can't even read the simple ones.

Then we noticed she wasn't sitting on the couch anymore to watch tv. Hmmmm. So, Tab asked her why she wouldn't sit on the couch anymore, and she said {in a very sad voice I might add!} that the TV was fuzzy and was better when she sat on the floor. Oh Boy, I was crushed. I have horrible vision, and was so hoping it would not be passed down to her. We had a scare when she was a year, and had to go see a specialist because her eyes where looking different directions, but only when she tried to focus on something. We watched her for a while and after 2 years, they said it was very minor ans she should be okay.

So while at the doc's yesterday, we find out she is in fact far-sighted. The complete opposite of me. Then he went on to tell me about how her previous problems most likely were the cause of her far-sightedness! I felt horrible, like I should have done something more when she was little.

So, now she has glasses. I'm torn. They are so stinking cute, but it makes me sad. She is so young and already has to have them. She was so sad all night, she can't stand them on her face. All she wants to do is take them off. Well, when she went to bed, she asked me if she could have a few minutes to read her book. Of course! So she starts to read, and I sit down next to her and tell her it will get better. She just looks at me and says, "Mommy they do help me see to read better, and you know what? I don't really feel them on my face right now." My sweet baby.

She ended up getting 2 pair. One pink, and one black. She was really excited about the black pair though...I wear glasses/contacts, and her black ones look just like my brown ones. In fact, the sad part about that is mine are children's frames! We have the same frames! I didn't realize we got her identical ones until we got home!





She needed to show everyone she could touch her feet to her head!
