This morning G and I took MR to the eye doctor to have her eyes checked. Initially, the doctor thought that our little girl was nearsighted. According to him, there was a good chance that she would require glasses as a child. Now, I’m no idiot, I don’t wear glasses and have always been blessed with good eyesight, so that leaves only one person who could be responsible for MR’s poor vision….her own father! After shooting G a dirty look, I envisioned MR with her very own set of frames. I chuckled at the thought of her entering school with a pair of pink monogrammed eyeglasses, a giant bow in her hair, and a smocked dress with glasses around the collar. I have to admit, she was pretty cute!
However, my vision was short lived. After dilating MR’s eyes, the doctor ruled that she was simply “over-focusing” and that everything appeared “normal”. Despite the fact that the appointment disrupted MR’s morning nap, she was such a good patient! I would highly recommend the InfantSee program, which offers free vision screening for infants between the ages of 6-12 months. Instead of shopping for glasses today, MR and I have decided to head to Ben and Jerry’s to enjoy a scoop of ice cream! Happy Thursday!
Mary Reese is looking more like her daddy everyday
When the doctor is away…
I love that little vision of MR…of course, I am a sucker for smocked anything and the monogrammed glasses made me chuckle.
So glad her eyes are okay…what made ya’ll think she needed to get them checked out?
She has a blocked tear duct and I wanted them to check that. 80% of babies grow out of it by the time they are 6 months old, but MR’s is still going strong. The dr gave us a new prescription, so hopefully that will help. If not, she will have to have a minor procedure on her eye to fix it at 10-12 months.
