Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes...Eyes and Ears and Mouth and Nose. This week was a week for eyes and ears.
I have been a bit worried about Baby Bear's vision for awhile. I have no worries that she can see. She can see colors. She can count things. Etc. I have been noticing for quite awhile now that her eyes will misalign every now and again. Over the last month or so, it has been more often for longer periods (ie not just when she is tired). I have asked several people about their thoughts about her eyes but no one else really seemed to notice. (I was feeling that I am just over sensitive about this because of my life long battle with my eyes.) I decided to just make an appointment with an opthamologist anyway. Worst case....he tells me I am just an over protective.
With every such new adventure, I am amazed at Baby Bear's good nature. I had to pick her up from school before her nap. Even though she was tired, she was her usual happy self, despite all the look at this, focus on that, etc that you have to do at the eye doctor. Even when they dilated her eyes, she took that in stride. (OK, she did cry during the addition of the drops but the minute that stopped, she was happy again.) Turns out, the reaon her eyes are not working together is that she is far sighted. She will be the proud wearer of little girl glasses soon. (We are hoping that this is one of those things that she will outgrow. Either way, she will be a cutie with or without glasses.)
They eye doctor was Thursday. The ear doctor was today. Since she had ear tubes put in at 18months, they have not been able to obtain a good reading of her hearing. (Hubby has been worried that she may not hear so well; I just thought she was ignoring us.) We have now confirmed that she is just ignoring us, as they were able to verify that her hearing is fine. Also while there, her tubes were removed because they were about to fall out anyway.
