Glasses

Last month I was informed that Lexi was not doing well in school. I was told (already) that there was the possiblity of her repeating kindergarten and then I was told that it was possibly ADD or ADHD. Of course, I was a total wreck. I mean, I have one child that is extremely gifted and then I have to hear this about my other child. I know that Lexi is not Laney, and I try not to compare them, but when I heard this I started comparing them. Then, I started questioning what I was doing wrong. I talked to Lexis' K-4 teacher since we are friends to get her opinion. I even called my pediatrician and got the number for a place in Birmingham that tests for ADD & ADHD. Then, my mom asked if I had thought to have her vision checked. Of course not! Why would I do that? It was too simple! I did call the next day to make an appointment and we were able to get her in 3 days later. It turns out that my baby girl is far-sighted. I have to admit, I was very happy about this. At least we had a reason as to why she was not doing well in school, poor girl couldn't see. So, we picked out 5 pairs of frames and then narrowed it down to two. After that I let her pick her frames since she was going to be the one wearing them. Two days later, on October 22, we were able to pick up her new glasses. I think that she looks so sweet in them. The best part of everything is that there is already a change in her at school. So, I have to give credit where credit is due, great call Nana!
