A few weeks ago, I took Madison to her first eye appointment. I took her because she started school, our families have horrible eye sight and she had been stressing her eyes to see things. Sure enough, I was told that she has very bad astigmatism in her eyes and has trouble seeing both near and far. Horrible parent- right? I can't believe I waited so long to take her to an eye appointment given our history. We were told that she would have to wear glasses the rest of her life. I was then advised to get a second opinion. So we got a second opinion last week and was told the same thing. She had asked her optometrist how long throughout the day she has to wear glasses and he told her all day except when she takes a shower and sleeps. Her response was: " Oh man, that sounds like I have to wear them all the time- what am I suppose to do?". He replied: "Look at your mommy, she wears her glasses all the time". Maddie then says: " But my mommy is old, I'm only 4 years old!" I couldn't help but to laugh but it kind of hurt my 20-nothing ego. Ha,ha,ha!!!! She picked out her Juicy Couture designer glasses all by herself and looks absolutely ADORABLE!!!!! She had the entire office 'Awwwwing' over her. I have to admit that I was pretty bummed when I was told she needs glasses. In today's world, kids are so cruel and get teased for simple things like wearing glasses,...etc. But I am just grateful that she is not permanently blind and can have to opportunity to wear glasses to have her vision.
Maddie, Carson and Emma. This is what the girls do when they're taking a break during the soccer game. Carson does not mess around when it comes to her pink bag. She usually pulls out her brush, mirror and detangler and dishes herself up. Oh yea, she's the coaches daughter, too!
SHARKS- 2010!
Last weekend was Madison's last soccer game. She played almost the entire game and played pretty hard out there. She made 4 goals- 2 for us and 2 for the other team. Her coaches call her "Firecracker" and "Speedy". I posted a video of her below scoring a goal for the other team. None of us knew that we had switched direction. LOL! She had an awesome coach and teammates. All of us parents are going to try and get the same team for t-ball, which will be a lot of fun. I truly think soccer is going to be her sport.
