Back to the Eye MD

 

Dearest Joshua David~

Well little man, today we went back to the eye doctor for your 8 week check up.  The majority of the appointment was waiting for your eyes to dilate.  :-P  Once your eyes were ready to be checked, the assistant left the room and I was the one who had to hold your little arms down.  :-(  You cried and screamed a little while he was examining your eyes, but the good news is that your eyes don't need anymore treatment for now!  Your right eye is self correcting and your left eye healed well from the surgery.  You'll need to go back in one year for another check up.  That's not bad .... I have to go to the eye doctor each year.  :-P  What a blessing that you're healthy!

It started to sprinkle when we were in the doctor's office.  By the time we were leaving, it was really coming down!  It's no fun carrying a car seat in the rain across a parking lot!  I put a blanket over the seat so you didn't get wet.  

In our Bible reading today, we read about how Joshua succeeded Moses in leading the people of Israel.  Moses was not allowed to lead the people into the promised land of Canaan because he disobeyed the Lord.  So, Moses asked God to find someone to take over so that the people would not be without a leader.  God chose Joshua because of his faith and because he was filled with the Spirit.  I pray that you grow up with a strong faith in the Lord as well!  :-)

Today we danced around the room a lot.  You took a shorter nap than usual this afternoon, so I put a CD on and we danced and played for a little bit until you got hungry.  

This evening, daddy read you some stories.  He read you "Goodnight Moon" and "Frog Went A-Courtin'."  You started to get fussy when he moved on to the Poky Puppy.  :-P  

We watched more Winter Olympic this afternoon and evening.  We saw ice dancing, curling, ski jumping, and aerials (a part of freestyle skiing).  We were all falling asleep towards the end though.  You finally went down in the bassinet started to sleep around 11pm. 

Tomorrow's another day .... sleep tight!

I love you!
