Alissa's Eyes

Today was Alissa's eye doctor appointment. I had to reschedule after I messed up the appointment in May by not knowing which side of town the office was located. Even though I rescheduled, I had planned on cancelling because I didn't want to drive to the west side of town for the appointment. Me and my forgetfulness; surprise, I didn't remember I had the appointment until I checked the answering machine on Sunday night telling me the appointment was Monday morning at 8:45 am. I decided to keep the appointment and take all the kids with me.

Everything went surprisingly well. All the kids were very well behaved and the appointment went surprisingly fast. For those of you who need some background information, at Alissa's one year check up the pediatrician thought that I should take her to see an eye doctor because she thought that one eye may not have been focusing correctly. According to the eye doctor, Alissa has what is known as pseudostrabismus. A big long word to say that she doesn't really have anything wrong with her eyes. I guess that Alissa can have the appearance that one eye is going cross and not focusing only because of her facial structure. He said it's because of the folds of skin around her eye and how her eyes are set. It's not very noticeable because I never thought that she looked cross eyed. I guess though, as her face matures that this illusion will also go away completely as well. We're just happy that there is nothing wrong with her beautiful eyes!

A cute girl and a bath tub picture too! (So they'll hate me later in life!)
