Eye Doctor, First Step and Swivel Swiffer...
When Ashtyn was in preschool they had an eye exam for all the little preschoolers. I thought for sure that she would pass. Well, we got a letter a couple weeks back saying she didn't pass and that she has an astigmatism. Ugh! I was really sad about that one because I have an astigmatism and can't wear contacts because of it, and therefore have been cursed with glasses since I was in kindergarten (I'm still holding off until lasik is 100% guaranteed.)
Anyway, today we went in to check out the verdict for her eyes. We went to a great pediatric opthamologist in Clarksville (I hear the best in Maryland) and low and behold, she has great vision! I was so happy. She even saw things better than I did with my glasses on. The doctor said she did have a slight astigmatism, but nothing to worry about yet, and a little far sightedness (I guess it's common in children), but a 20/25 record. Horray! So no glasses for my little one quite yet.
Raegan took her first step a couple of days ago. We missed it on camera, but it was so fun to see. She is now way past the time that my other girls walked (except Tera, she walked at 13 months), so I was starting to get a little nervous. She doesn't even want to try. She is slowly getting there, but would much rather crawl. She uses her knees like no other, and even has some callouses. We are thinking it's her fear of falling since she has had many of those from some mysterious little girl who likes to push her around. Well, we were so happy to see her take a first step and she had a huge cheering session from all her sisters and even clapped herself. Hopefully this will be the start to something. We shall see...
The other day Shaylee was watching something on tv and an infomercial came on. It was for a swivel swiffer (or something like that). I didn't pay much attention and neither did Brian, but Shay sure did. In the middle of it she came running up to Brian and said, "We NEED to buy a Swivel Swiffer dad! It goes on carpet, on stairs, on hardwood, and even swivels around!" After about two minutes of talking up all the features as fast as she could, she turned back to the infomercial that said, "Now you can have two for the price of one." She turned back to Brian and said, "DAD, DAD! Oh my goodness, now we can have TWO!!". She couldn't believe her eyes. I guess it's a good thing Shay doesn't control the money around here....
