Changes

This week Madison got glasses. It makes me sad because she is about the same age as when Kevin and I got glasses so she will most likely have to wear them the rest of her life like us. I hate that we passed that gene on to her. I guess she has needed them for a while but never told us that she couldn't see the board at school. We took her in for her 10 year old check up in December and they checked her eyes. She could read the big E but not anything else. I was so shocked so I ask her if she was having problems reading the board at school and she told me she just ask her neighbor to read it for her. Who knows why she wouldn't tell us. Because of Kevin changing jobs and waiting for insurance and everything to switch,we were not able to get her in until March but at least she had her neighbor at school. She was very excited to pick out her frames and then bummed to find out it would take a week for them to come in. On Wednesday of this last week went and picked them up and she has hardly taken them off since. She only needs to wear them to see the board or things like that but she is insistent to wear them most of the time. I think she feels older or something. Isn't she cute. On the way home from picking them up she was so funny in the car. She was reading every sign and pointing out things I guess she couldn't see before.

This week Allison also lost her second tooth. I am so glad that it is out because it is one less thing that I have to hear about from her. It has been loose for awhile and she would always point it out to me or whine because it hurt. If she loses anymore teeth I won't be able to understand her. She is talking funny since this last one came out.

Such cute girls. I HATED my glasses when I was in school so I am glad that she seems to like them. It's probably really cool to be able to finally see everything!!! Hopefully Anj has told you about Zenni Optical. She just LOVED them when Ash had glasses!!! I also hear you about the teeth thing. Kaden has his 3rd loose tooth and he complains constantly about it hurting. I would do almost anything to get that tooth out so he will stop whining about it. Good Luck!!!
