Let there be Sight!


My tiny first grader got glasses today. Isn't she cute? She's been complaining that she couldn't see things far away, so I had her eyes checked today. She didn't need a strong prescription, but enough to see the board at school, and other far away things. She is thrilled. Everything is sharper and clearer, she says.

I almost had to cancel her appointment today, because of Abby. She was complaining about her tummy hurting, when I was waiting to get Phoebe at school. I asked her if she needed to throw up, but she said no. (I know better) I gave her some rags that were in the car, and told her to puke in those if she needed to. We head to the eye doc, and are almost there, when I hear it. BLAH! Of course, the rags were not big enough to hold the barf, so it got all over her clothes, and coat, and seat belt, and car seat... Oh brother.

Phoebe got all mad at her, and told her that Abby always ruins her day. (Ya Phoebe, Abby plans on puking all over, just to ruin your day)

I tried calling everybody, anybody, to come and get Abs, so I could go on with this appointment. Nobody is answering their phone. Perry is out of town working.

Abby was feeling better, so I just wiped her off as best I could and brought her in. She did smell a little but nobody noticed. (I don't think)

This has happened before, so I think I've come to the conclusion that she just gets car sick. (I wouldn't drag a sick flu-y child in to a building full of people, where she could spread her germs)

Appointment went fine, grandma came and took Abby over, and Phoebe can now see better.

It's always something.

Phoebe looks beautiful and so smart in her glasses!

Summer is going to be wearing glasses in school to protect her eyes, because of the cat scratch incident, so I love seeing little girls in glasses!
