About a month before school started, Kelsie and I were having some mom and daughter time. We were looking for an address and I asked Kelsie to tell me when she found it. I parked right in front of the house we were looking for and asked her if we were there yet. She replied "I don't know, I can't see the numbers." I made a mental note to get her an eye appointment. But, like most of the mental notes I make, I forgot.
Two months later, Kelsie's eyes were tested at school. The nurse called me and said that Kelsie was having trouble seeing and that her vision was about 20/35. I finally made an eye appointment and was surprised to find out that Kelsie truly couldn't see. 20/100 in one eye and 20/70 in the other. We ordered some darling little glasses on the spot. They came in on Thursday, and Kelsie can finally see! Here's our conversation:
Kelsie: "I can see! I can see! Everything is so clear! I think I see better than anybody else."
Me: "Actually, you see just as well as everybody else."
Kelsie: "You mean everyone can see like this?"
Me: "Yep."
Kelsie: "Everyone can see the leaves on the trees?"
Me: "Uh-huh."
Wally: "Now you don't have any more excuses for your dirty room."
