Eye can see clearly now...

In the back of my mind, and I mean very far back where the cobwebs grow, I just knew this day would come. I innocently convinced myself that all this time he was somehow getting better... I say innocently because the doctor was filling my mind with false illusions. So, here it is... my little man has to get glasses.



This is pretty much my inner monolgue for the past 48 hours...
This is killing me! I know tons of little kids have glasses and Brody sure is stinkin' cute in them, but to me this is the realization that his vision, his sight, his eye muscle issues have not gotten better all these years and after that horrific eye surgery nothing has really changed. I'm mad! It's the kind of mad that you get when all the things you hoped and dreamed for your kid comes crashing down. I know this is all sounding so dramatic and when I see that cute little face in those glasses it just melts my heart, but I still can't help but feel a little sad.

This is just a 6-week trial and his eye specialist will evaluate him at the end of the 6 weeks to see what has happened, changed, improved, etc. So, here's to the next 6 weeks... and beyond!

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...
