From here on out, Dekker will begin to see the world in a different way. Literally.
We started his day off with a toga party. A toga party is always fun because it is never planned. They sometimes just happen, and everyone loves spontaneous fun!
Breakfast was the same as every other day, and as per usual, we went downstairs to play toys. While Deks does best on his new schedule of one nap later in the afternoon, we had to leave the house at 2:30 to make my 3:30 chiropractic appointment, so I tried to nap him for a bit around 12:30 just to give him a bit of a rest before we were out and about with no more chances to nap. He played in his bed, and had a few moments of silence here and there, but nothing super helpful probably. Either way, he got up in good spirits in time to get dressed, have a snack, and head to the city.
He did great through the appointments, and our chiropractor asked lots of questions about his vision and basically what happened next. I’m looking forward to seeing him again in a few weeks and updating him, siiiiince…
Dekker got his glasses today!
I’ll be honest. He hasn’t kept them on for longer than 15 seconds yet, but he did amazing during his fitting! He let us put them on him and fawn over him quite a bit. He would sit very still and smile, just waiting for whatever to be finished, but then he’d pull them off and hand them to me. So I don’t think he specifically hates them or anything, but of course they’re new, and they’ll take some figuring out. But as if we’re not all thinking it already, doesn’t he look amazing?! He drew quite a bit of attention 🙂
We did a quick grocery shop at Costco afterwards, and picked up some fruit at Superstore. Best haul ever!!! Go to Superstore for peaches and nectarines!!! $0.96/lb! We got 8 of each, and 2 pints of raspberries for just over $10.
He passed out on the drive home. I can’t blame him.
I know, he looks a little bit awake here, but he was nodding in and out. Tired dude.
Tomorrow glasses training begins.
Oh, he’s a natural for modelling! What a sweetieheart/handsome dude! I can’t imagine “glasses training”!!! I found just training them to put the toilet lid down was tedious! You are such a good Mom, little Hailey!
I’m pretty nervous about convincing him to keep the glasses on, to be honest. I’m thinking we’ll just have to be persistent, putting them back on his face, and I anticipate tears for sure. But it must be done! Thanks for the encouragement 🙂
