Cheating?
No chicks today. I’m sharing pictures from Friday instead.
Isabelle had an appointment with the ophthalmologist.
We were sitting around in the waiting area. Nathan kicked off his shoes.
Lately he’s been objecting to them, “off! OFF!”
Anyhoo back to what I was saying, Isabelle’s appointment.
The doctor checked her vision and it’s 20/250 in her bad eye, the left one. It hasn’t improved since the last time. I think it’s worse actually. He said her astigmatism has increased.
It might have something to do with her eye growing, I don’t know. Or maybe it has to do with Isabelle cheating with her patch sometimes. When she can’t see, sometimes I catch her turning her head and peaking out the side. Sigh.
So, now she needs to wear her patch for 6 hours a day. SIX!! Waaaaah!! 
Is it because she was cheating and peeking? Waah! Waah! Waah! Today I tried to put a bandaid patch on her so she couldn’t cheat and she started to cry.
Ok how about I talk about something happy instead. While we were waiting for Isabelle’s eyes to dilate, we went to a kid area to hang out. They had little tiny benches and tables. Nathan got a kick out of them.
A real big kick! He can’t climb onto the tables at home.
And look at this grass there.
It’s totally FAKE! I couldn’t tell until I went over and felt it. I want fake grass. No more watering. Or mowing! But fake grass and chickens don’t go together right? Well real grass and chickens don’t go together either. Alan said they’ll eat it all up. Good thing we don’t have any grass in our backyard because we suck at gardening and killed the lawn back there years ago.
Do chickens and weeds go together? 
Aw. I don’t blame her for peeking!
My MIL was just telling me that my BIL used to cheat by peeking under his eyepatch all the time. She even has pictures of him cheating! His sight seems fine now, though don’t know if he wears contacts.
G just got glasses for reading/up close things, but he doesn’t want to wear them. He claims that they make no difference, but I noticed that he reads faster and more fluently with them on. I think he doesn’t want to wear them to school in case the kids tease him.
Being a kid is tough, you know!
My daughter cheats as well with her patch. Her left eye hasn’t gotten worse but haven’t improved either so she has to stick with patching and her glasses. Let’s hope our girls get better soon and can ditch their glasses. It’s such heartache knowing they have a bad eye and we can’t do much about it. Good luck.
