Yesterday, Madison went to her first ever (not counting school testings) eye appointment. You could tell she was a bit nervous walking in. She always holds my hand very tightly if she is excited, nervous, or upset. When we first got there we went into the little dark room where a eye technician gives the pre-tests. She was excited about the first two and told me that they reminded her of video games! The third one though....a whole different story.... the "puffer!" You know the one I'm talking about! :) She courageously placed her chin on the bar and looked right into the machine not knowing what was about to happen. As soon as that machine let out a puff of air into her right eye, she jumped back like she had been shot, covered that eye and looked at me as if to say "How could you let that happen to me?" I had to fight hard to maintain composure!!
After a half hour she went in to see the doctor, who was really good with explaining everything and convincing Madison that if she looked into the lens, puffs of air wouldn't come at her again!!
When the doctor told Madison that she needed to wear glasses when she reads, does home work, or anything where she is focusing up close...she was thrilled!! She must have tried on every pair of glasses in the store. Here is what Braylon and I heard...
"Nope, too box-y"
"Nope, too girly"
"Nope, I look like a boy"
"These make me look weird!"
Finally we narrowed it down and she chose a really cute pair of thick rimmed, brown glasses. Once we get them, next week, I will post of picture of her in them. Of course every pair that she tried on, Braylon had to as well! It's only right! lol
It was an overall good experience for her. Above is a picture of her (taken with my phone) waiting on the doctor to come in, she was so anxious to meet her!
