Eyes!

Both kids had eye appointments and so far, their vision is great.
I love watching Kingston's exam because it's more like playing games and he gets to wear fun glasses.

 Julienna, actually went to see an ophthalmologist about her clogged tear duct.  The one on the left just never opened and she always has a tear or eye crusties in it.  I didn't know what to expect when we went in.  I thought they would assess her and then we would schedule a time for surgery since she would have to be sedated.  Ironically, that morning her eye was extra goopy so I knew that it was evident she had a problem (it probably helped that her appt was at 7:15 and I had to get her up at 6:30). So, the doctor looked her over and then gave me some options: we could wait it out and try massage or other homeopathic remedies (I felt like I had already tried this option and it wasn't working), we could schedule surgery, or he could attempt the procedure in office today.  Julienna was right at his 14 month cut-off for the in office procedure, but it meant she wouldn't have to be sedated (which was a concern of mine).  The only drawback was that he would only do as much as she would tolerate which may or may not fix it.  But, I thought it was worth it because best-case-scenerio, it works! And worst-case is she has the surgery which I was planning on anyway.
Luckily, I had been around the medical stuff and wasn't at all worried when they strapped her down to the papoose board.  She was velcroed in tight!  And to my surprise, she didn't cry.  Not even when they put the drops in or did the first probe. She did cry at the end when the doctor was able to break through whatever was clogged, but then one more eye drop and they unstrapped her and handed her to me and she was fine.  She did have a bit of a bloody nose that day, but so far it has worked and her eye looks so much better!  We had to put eye drops in for the first week and Kingston got pretty good a helping hold her down...I think he really enjoyed it!
