Who are you calling 4 eyes?

Here he is. I know. He IS even cuter than you imagined. This is really the only picture I have of the glasses & I stole it from a flip video, but since they are now a part of our everyday life I am sure you will get your fill of them over the next few years! How is it going, you ask? Well, I am a little nervous to put in writing how AWESOME my kid is. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Did I mention Awesome? Seriously, I was so nervous last week I could barely eat on Friday. I knew it was going to be bad. The cougarpatch was so awful that I just couldn't imagine adding something new to the mix. I love when I am proven wrong. First, he looks so stinkin cute I literally cannot stand myself. Then, he actually leaves them alone most of the time. When he takes them off, we just put them back on without making a big deal of it. I do think that it is a tad easier for us to make this adjustment because we have been patching for 4 months. There isn't much that can challenge us now. Try to keep an eyepatch on your kid for 4 minutes and you will see what I mean. Anyway, I think the positive thing is that we are all sort of used to stalking him waiting for the little hand to get close to his face.

On another note, I am so proud of this boy. I have been proud of him for rolling, clapping, walking, etc. but I have a feeling there will be very few things that will be up there with this eye thing. We are looking at a long few years, but in the end I genuinely believe he will be more resilient, accepting of a challenge and able to see life with a little more perspective. We might just be in that same boat, too.
