A trip to the eye doctor

Okay, last post for today...

Yesterday, Henry and I had our annual eye exams. Last year, the doctor felt that Henry might need glasses before kindergarten due to some astigmatism. After the exam, she felt that his astigmatism had improved and that he did not need glasses afterall. Yippee. She was very impressed with Henry and kept asking me about having him tested for GT (gifted and talented). Uh, he's not even in kindergarten yet. It was nice to hear, though.

He did very well. Got a bit silly at times and kept repeating the same letter over and over and tried to take over and give the exam when it was my turn (Mommy, look up there and tell me what you see. Now cover your eye and tell me what you see.) Fortunately, the doctor was quite patient with him. He got to do the eye test with the clicker but refused to do the one where you get a puff of air in the eye.

He did NOT like getting the drops in his eyes and cried the first round right out. However, after he realized that it didn't hurt, he was pretty cooperative about having the second round put in. And we celebrated the successful visit to the eye doctor with...what else...a root beer float!
