Glasses!

When Whitney was born, I thought if she has brown eyes, she'll be safe. Brown means good, anything else could mean bad... Then I saw her light eyes. I still had hope until a few months ago when I noticed Whitney going cross-eyed. It's gotten progressively worse and now anytime she focuses on anything, one of her eyes goes in and the other one stays straight!

Since I knew I'd done the same thing as a kid, I didn't worry about her being dumb (besides she displays her intelligence quite clearly) but I thought I'd have to wait to get her glasses until she could take some sort of eye exam.

Luckily, my mom took the initiative and set up an appointment with an optometrist. He tested her eyes yesterday and she does in fact have bad, bad eyesight, just like her mom. No lazy eye or anything more serious. She gets her glasses in a week. They are pink with pooh bear on them.

I got my glasses at three! She's getting her glasses at 21 months. I'm sorry Whitney for my poor eye genes but I feel your pain!

I never knew that you had poor eyesight! You'll have to post a picture as soon as she gets them. I bet that she'll be super cute!
