I took these pictures on Wednesday afternoon. Really, it could have been any afternoon because this is what you'll find these two doing. But, Wednesday was a little different. Can you tell?
How about now?
Now that's better! C has glasses! These are his rec specs for sports, but he'll have regular everyday glasses, too, they just haven't come in yet.
We had no idea that he had problems seeing. He has never complained or squinted and his teachers never mentioned any problems at school. But, when we went for his annual well visit a few weeks ago, he failed the eye exam. As in the second line on the chart is where he stopped reading. That won us a referral to an opthamologist who we saw last week and who confirmed that he is near-sighted. He pretty much will need to wear his glasses all the time.
The good news is he is super cute in them!
And while those two were out playing in the yard, look who was longingly peeking out the window :)
while AP was trying to take a cat nap...or should I say dog nap :)
That afternoon we celebrated his birthday train style at Entertrainment Junction.
Happy Birthday T! We enjoyed spending it with you!
AP got this doggy stroller for her birthday when she got her puppy, but it's our 11 year old dachshund that enjoys hitching a ride :)
Later that afternoon we had a church wide potluck to kick off small groups. The kiddos ran, swang, and played some more. Needless to say, they crashed that night!
Several people asked me if I was crying because my baby was starting school. There were no tears here. If you know AP well, then you know that she sooo wants to be a big kid. I am excited for her. I can tell she is proud of herself and feels grown up :)
She had a great first day. Her teacher reported that she was a "little mama". Yes she is!
