glasses


Lately we noticed Lexies left eye pulling to the left. Pretty worried about it, Jennifer made an appointment to see an eye dr. When we got there they dilated her eyes and we waited in the waiting room for 30 minutes for her to go back again. Made her look in many different things so the dr could figure out what was wrong with them. He said she is far sided and it pulls her left eye to the left when she strains to see something. She cant see far away very good or things that are really close up. He gave her some prescription glasses that will hopefully keep her eyes straight. and hopefully help her vision from getting worst. Her eye has definately been a lot straighter since. I was very sad to hear the news. But, thank god everyday that i have a healthy 2 year old.

After the appointment, we dropped her prescription off at the eye doctor. Lexie got to pick her glasses. She was excited. She picked the pink ones. I'm surprised of how easy it has been to keep them on her. Ofcourse she has her times she covers her face when we try to put the glasses back on. And ofcourse their are also times she loses them and claims she doesnt know where they are. But, we usually find them pretty quickly.

A couple days after she had been used to wearing them I gave her a bath and took her glasses off. She was rubbing her eyes. I asked her what was wrong. and she wimpered a little bit and said her eyes hurt /: I'm assuming she's just starting to realize that she needs her glasses to see good. It breaks my heart she sees a blur at 2 years old. But, I'm very greatful they could diagnose the problem at such an early age & give her what she needs to see clearly.
Christmas also passed. Lexie had a blast doing all the fun events. She loves to stay busy and always has something new to do. Between me, and her grandparents she stays pretty busy. lChristmas morning we went to Lolly & Pops house. Got LOTS of toys, babies, and barbies. Summer got a puppy. Lexie was very jealous. She kept holding her and saying "my puppy." We would tell her no. its summers puppy. She would continue to laugh and say its her puppy.
Later in the day, she went to her daddies for chrismas. & guess what he had for her? yah. a puppy. Now the apartment manager isn't too happy. Hoping we can keep him. Because she sure does enjoy playing with him.
