New eyes

Yesterday, I took my oldest to the eye doctor. Unfortunately, McKay has bad eyesight. He has been wearing glasses the past 2 years. Last year, he begged to get contacts, and we told him he could get them for his 11th birthday if he took care of his glasses and wore them every single day (as the first year, he often "forgot" them in his desk, or under his bed, or any place other than his face). I didn't think he would be able to do it, but he stepped up, and took care of those glasses, and wore them daily. And reminded us of our promise. Then this past week, the dog somehow rolled onto his glasses and broke them to the point that they needed the duck tape to keep them together. Not such a cool look. So, we went to see Dr. Mike, and he said he thought McKay was ready to handle contacts. So, without further adieu, he put them in for McKay, and McKay has brand new eyes. Well, not really, but he suddenly has these big beautiful brown eyes that his mamma can see without glasses blocking the way!

I'm really excited for him. He is doing well with putting them in and taking them out. He is excited to wear sunglasses, and to have a new cool look. He's seems to be strutting around more today! Makes a mamma proud!
