The eye doctor appointment went really well. We were seeing the new ophthalmologist at the outpatient Cincinnati Children's hospital since the last one moved. I honestly liked this one better. She put Owen at ease and showed real genuine interest in him and what we were doing. I was also honest about the fact that we hadn't been doing the eyepatch for almost 2 months (once we got back from our vacation in Nebraska, it just seemed to have gotten pushed out of my mind). After dilating his eyes and testing his prescription, his farsightedness had actually gotten better (needed a weaker prescription, just by a little). So we are going to continue not patching his eye and see what happens in a couple of months. He did, however, get new glasses which he is very excited about - they are even his favorite color, dark blue!

His regular doctor appointment went well too. He is 46.25 inches tall (95th percentile) and 47.6 lbs (90th percentile). He was very cooperative for this visit for a change, although I did warn he would get his flu shot. The good news, for both of us, is they offered the inhaled,nasal one. I asked if he preferred to be poked or to take a big sniff - guess which one he chose? :)
He is very much enjoying kindergarten - he is beginning to tell time and write his address. He is learning to recognize "sight" words in class and is everyone's friend now!
I'll post about his birthday celebration next...promise!
Thanks for sharing the pics of Owen.
