Babyhood

This afternoon I took Kevin to the ophthalmologist for his 6 month eye check. Still no change, he keeps the same glasses for now. He may well grow out of the long-sightedness at around 12 or 13 years of age. I still have to put those horrible pupil-dilating eyedrops in his eyes an hour before the appointment. He kicks and screams and really hates it. The doctor explained to him that if only he would look at the picture charts and answer the questions, he wouldn’t need to have the drops. But, you know Kevin, he remains completely mute with all doctors and most adults, in fact.
