Let's Play a Game...

What is different about these two pictures????















My Lily needs glasses! She went for her eye appointment on Friday she is farsighted and has **astigmatisms** in both eyes!


**Note for other Guate Mommas the Opthamologist told Chris that he is seeing this more and more in Latin American decent children.**


We thought Charlotte could use a little air so we went out this morning and let Lily pick them out. She has to wear them right? She was FIRM that she wanted these hot pink/magenta ones. Are you reading this Miss Lily? When you are older and you want to know why.. it was ALL you baby! Naa we like them and she does look super cute... Chris and I just liked the shape of another pair. The sales person said it best... that she is only 3 so no matter what she picks it is going to be cute! They had to cut off about an inch to make them fit her little face!


She has been doing well with them, we told her that the doctor said that she will have to wear them all the time so far that is working. She got to pick out her spot for them to 'sleep' while she is sleeping! Chris has been showing her the ropes of how to push them up on her face and not to touch the lenses. It has been very sweet to watch!


As far as her tear duct, the doctor told Chris that they could go in there and unblock it, but it may be tearing more because she is squinting to see making it tear more then it really needed to. We NEVER noticed her squinting, either way she will need the glasses for the astigmatism for life. We are going to go back in September to see if there is any improvement with the tearing and go from there.


So now she and Chris have more in common!

She just looks like a little professor!! :-)
