GOODBYE GLASSES!!!!!!

Just 1.5 years ago, this cute little girl was diagnosed with amblyopia. Her case was not an extreme one, but we did recognize it late. This explained some of the delays in her reading skills. Anyway, we were told with evening patching and glasses, that maybe in a few years there would be a possibility that she wouldn't need her glasses anymore.


She did look awfully cute in those purple glasses. Even the eye patch was dressed up a bit for some humorous laughs.



The pink glasses were fun too, but {m} much preferred the purple.

Just this past month, she failed her 'in school' eye exam (with her current glasses). Assuming that her prescription was just not working any longer, I took her to the eye doctor for a more accurate exam.

PROGNOSIS ... nearly perfect vision!
She can forget those cute purple or pink glasses and just go with the au natural look.
EVEN CUTER!!!!!!!


*Just a little funny ...
On the way out of the eye doctor, {m} put her glasses back on and I asked her why. She said she had no place to put them. Silly girl! They are in my possession now ;)

So cute! My sister (now 40) and I were just having a conversation about this the other day. She also had this when she was younger (is it also called Lazy Eye?). They didn't discover it until she was beyond the point of correcting it. She says she still has trouble with it, even though she doesn't wear glasses or contacts. Luckily, her other eye is perfect. I'm so happy that the treatment worked for your beautiful girl! Glasses or not, she's a real cutie!

Very cute pics! My son was diagnosed with this and a few other things back when he was 4. He did 2 years of patching, then glasses part time for a year, then this year (age 7) he had a relapse and we are back to patching for a few hours a day. I remember the dr telling me a few years ago...hold on to the patch, it could come back. Anyway, hope she is patch and glasses free for years to come.

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
