Christmas Eye Exams

What can you say about kids? There is never a dull moment. Take going to the eye doctor for example. Can there be a more boring outing? Not with my kids. So here are some pics to show how much fun we have.

Maia the Maniac

Katie Belle (naturally) was the one who befitted the geek goggles best. It was funny however, when the doctor asked her to read the letters to see how well she does. In the typical eye doctor voice to a kid he said, "Can you read those letters up there for me?" "F U Z X O" she replied confidently. "Now do it backwards." Katie Belle gave a furrowed brow of confusion back to the doctor as if to imply that he must be nuts, paused, and then preceded to turn around in her chair to face the opposite direction inching her butt degree by degree to the back wall. I clapped my palm on my forehead in dismay. The doctor laughed, "That is a first for me." He politely asked her to stop and was at a loss for how to ask her to read from right to left rather than through staring through the back of her head. We love you Katie Belle! You are the neatest kid ever. (She kind of looks like the engineer on Atlantis).

Luke is to the point where things aren't as fun as when you are younger. The doctor wanted to pose everybody for pictures in these goggles and let them go up and down the automatic chair. Maia liked it. Katie Belle was Katie Belle. Sadie wasn't sure what to think. And Luke seemed like a kid too big for the kiddy coaster thinking, "This is lame." :1

Sadie was there more for the pose. She ended up needing reading glasses. So her and Mom are in the business for finding matching glasses. Like mother like daughter.

Who'd have known that visiting the eye doctor could be so much fun? It gives us perspective as to what Jared goes through. We respect you now. I am sure you have bundles of fun as well.
