Eyesight Revisited This Morning


Olivia is far-sighted in her left eye. So if you look at the top image, her left eye (on your right) might appear bigger than the right one, due to the correction in that lens. Its a bit more striking up close in person. She has been leaving them on very well today, running around on the playground equipment, eating breakfast. Seeing things differently is interesting. Maybe more interesting than the annoyance of the things on her ears and nose. As Melissa said of her behavior this morning: "Things seem to 'pop' for her right now" - pictures, books, leaves on trees, steps. And having been gone two days, I think her conversation has advanced too - two-word sentences, more clarity. We've always said that glasses improve Melissa's hearing too. And Grandma VB: the Choo-Choo Train book which lights up and plays music when you push the train's nose was the impetus for her to leave the glasses on last night and this morning.

I Can See Clearly Now

And my new bear can too.
All from last night, when she wasn't great at leaving them on.
Much better today, those photos are coming soon.

Report Card


This is the sort of thing we get from Olivia's teachers.
Whom we think are great.
We really look forward to these, I'm glad we don't have to wait until the end of the semester to find out how she's doing, and are glad they take the time to write more than I used to in patient charts, ie;"Olivia fine."

With our gratitude to Jackeline, Amber, Kristine, Brooke and Kylie.
