Me: Addison doesn't keep her glasses on for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Eye Doctor: That's pretty typical for her age.

Me: Do you have any suggestions on how I can help teach her to keep them on?

Eye Doctor: She'll be better in a year.

Me: But what about now?

Eye Doctor: Just keep doing what you're doing.

Me: Right now she doesn't wear them very much because she keeps taking them off.

Eye Doctor: Right.

Me: So what should I do?

Eye Doctor: Nothing.

Me: But she's not wearing her glasses.

Eye Doctor: Yep.

Me: But you said she can't see without them.

Eye Doctor: She can't.

Me: So what should I do?

Eye Doctor: What you've been doing.

Me: I've been giving in.

Eye Doctor: Good for you.

Me: What?

Eye Doctor: Just keep encouraging her to wear them.

Me: How?

Eye Doctor: The way you have been.

Me. That hasn't been working.

Eye Doctor: Great.

Me: What can I do?

Eye Doctor: Nothing.

(Thought you should hear that conversation before you see tomorrow's headline: Pediatric Opthamologist found strangled in office with a tiny pair of pink glasses; police assume she didn't see this coming.)


The truly ironic thing is- Addison actually kept her glasses on the ENTIRE appointment. Stinker.


Her eye muscle surgery is scheduled for November 9th.

(Next time I try to take BOTH kids to a doctor's appointment and a lab blood draw....someone please strangle ME...so extremely stressful)

(I bet you thought I wasn't going to post today....first chance I've had all day to actually get on my computer...but I made it...so there)
