The Eyes of Atticus

Everyone has been noticing that Atticus has been really squinting lately and blinking his eyes more than normal. His teachers and parents have certainly noticed. So the wife took him to his family doctor today and they gave him a pretty basic test and it semmed pretty conclusive that he was having a difficult time seeing certain objects at a distance.

So now we are going to get an appointment for Atticus at a pediatric ophthalmologist. I am afraid the poor bastard has my poor eyesight. But he isn't even three. I didn't need corrective lenses until I was about seven or eight. Needless to say I am worried.

Adrienne pitched a fit about going to bed last night (as she does every night) and would not put on her night gown. So the wife put her to bed wearing only her diaper. About twenty minutes after closing the door and turning out the light, Adrienne managed to put a dress on all by her self. Not too damn bad for a 2.5 year old!

Lolo pitched a fit about having to get ready to go to school this morning. She has been out of school for two days with a fever but no fever this morning so she went to school despite her bad attitude. Once the wife got her clothes on her all was well with the world and Lolo rode to school in a good mood.

Bedtime for the kids has been getting later and later. Last night it was 9:00 before we got all of them in bed. Tonight we turned the tables and they were in the bath by 6:30 and in bed by 7:30. What a relief!
