2 Milestones

Courtney and Dylan both had some big events recently.


Dylan lost his first 2 teeth within about 2 weeks of each other. The first came out and was lost while in the shower. We aren't sure if it dropped down the drain or if he swallowed it. Luckily, the tooth fairy visited him anyways. The second one he managed to pull out and hang on to. He was so proud to put that one under his pillow.


Courtney came home from school a few weeks ago with a note explaining that she failed the eye screening. We've never noticed any problems with her vision. Her grades are good, she doesn't complain of things being blurred, no headaches, nothing unusual. I took her to the eye doctor and it turns out she is practically blind in her left eye, while her right eye is perfect. He prescribed glasses, which she was pretty upset about. But during the next week while we were waiting for her glasses to be made, she had a change of heart. I pointed out all of the kids in her class, including her teacher that wears them. We explained that she only needs to wear them for school work and reading. And we talked to her about how important it is to have healthy eyes. I don't know what did it, but by the time her glasses were ready, she was actually excited to get them. She takes great care of them, cleaning them and putting them in a safe place. She showed them off to her friends. And she is so beautiful with them.
