4 eyes?

We got a letter from the health department about a month ago stating that Amaya had failed two different vision tests and that we need to have her screened in a more formal manner. (I laugh as I type this because with everything that has been going on around here, I have let this sit on the back burner for a little while) At the time that I got it, I thought that she really probably does need glasses, but that we could wait a little to get them, as we have had a ton of $$ go out lately.
I was talking with Amaya about her vision tests, and she was telling me that she asked them if they intentionally made the letters blurry (laughing again). Poor girl!
Anyways, I took her last week to get the exam and to order her new glasses.
We picked them up today and she was so excited with the fact that she could read things better and that everything looked so much better. (laughing again) While walking out of the optical place, she said, "I love my new glasses".
She is so cute in them too!!

It's Negative!!!!!!!

Dr. Forness called the other day to let us know that Ryan's MRI came back negative!!!! Phew! He said that he must have been "over reading" the xray, and with his history, that he is still happy that he had it done. Ryan continues to limp, so he is going to have us get some lab work to rule out some arthritis problems.....I am going to delay on this, as I think that he (and I) have had enough medical stress lately.

The cannels came out!

The cannels came out....

Ryan has been sick with cold like sympotms the last couple of days. I have been teaching him to blow his nose. Tonight, after he blew his nose, he repeatedly told me that the cannels came out. I kept asking him, "what", but he just kept repeating it.
Then I remembered: I have been teaching him to "blow- like you are blowing the candles out (like on a cake), but through your nose".
He has apparently taken that as he is blowing candles out of his nose!
