Not so much a wordless Wednesday...


Ok well I do have to admit that when I first started this blog it was my goal to update it everyday or at least every other day. And well as you can see that hasnt happened much. So heres an update from the last couple of days.
Yesterday was Kenzies first eye exam ever.( ya ya I know I am a horrible mom) By the way if anyone is in need of a optometrist Dr Tatabee in Lethbridge is awesome with kids. Anyways the appointment went as follows. The waiting room, the measuring of the eyes by the assistant, and then seeing the actual Doctor. Because it was her first time there they did all of the medical history questions...high blood pressure, diabetes, glaucoma, etc Well then she asked Kenzie if she was allergic to anything. And without skipping a beat my 6 yr old bursts "nope not allergic to a dang thing, but my mom says I am allergic to work cause I never clean my room" I thought the Dr was going to die laughing. It was pretty cute. After all the inital exams were done Dr Tatbee wanted to do one more thing, this required putting eye drops in her eye( thats a whole other story) Well what these drops do it dialate the pupils. Well it did its job perfectly, she looked like the cat Puss in boots off of Shrek.. I took a picture and she even tried to pose like him too..lol Well once it was all over it was determined that Kenzie did in fact need glasses. It didnt really come as a shock. Both of her parents have glasses. But what did come to a shock was that how weak her eyes actually were. Her right eye is really bad, almost to the point of a lazy eye. Which I had no idea. There were no signs, I never noticed it. So she is to get glasses wear them for a month and then go back and get them checked again. If her eye has not improved much then the Dr wants to put a patch on her eye to give it some time to relax. Well since I am a mom and all when I heard those words my heart started to ache. Kenzie is so tender hearted to begin with, and for all of you that dont know she has been thru alot because of my first marriage. So when I found out that she needed glasses let alone maybe a patch down the road I wanted to cry mainly cause I know how cruel and rude children are these days.So when it came to the glasses I didnt care how much they were I wanted her to love the and look so cute in them. So then it was off to the glasses to check out what ones she wanted. There were tons to choose from, but it didnt take long to find the ones that she wanted. I tried to look on the internet for a picture to put up here but I couldnt find the right ones. But I guess you can wait a day cause we do go and get them tomorrow. But anyways back to the glasses. They are the square shaped one, with kind of a thicker frame. The frame part is bright purple and the arms are bright orange... they are so adorable. The glasses have such attitude, which is so her. They are a perfect match I cant wait to get them. This is picture is of Kenzie and her eyes, not the most flattering picture but oh well.

Nice post. I didn't read it. If you want people to read your blog, don't make it so long. It was a blah blah blog. Make it shorter, then try again.
