Wow! My last post here was from January 27! Four months of slacking. Even i am amazed.
Anyway, a lot has happened in these last months including the near global pandemic of H1N1. But i can’t comment on that since i am live under a rock, and i have an allergic reaction to newspapers andnewsfeeds. XD
Back here, well, Kylee is finally learning to walk and talk, while Lyka now sports a new pair of glasses. Yep she has been diagnosed with astigmatism, like me and a couple of her uncles. It also came as a shock that her prescription was higher than mine. She probably got it from her uncle Tey who started wearing glasses in kindergarten. When i told her grandparents that Lyka will be wearing glasses, they were like, “Oh no! My poor baby!” I was like, “Huh? They’re only glasses,” though i never said it out loud. As far as i know, astigmatism can be corrected, and the earlier it gets corrected, the better for my daughter. The opthalmologist said that if we passed on having Lyka fitted for spectacles, she may later develop lazy eye, but then again, she may just be looking for some extra profit. But anyway, I decided that she better get some glasses (since i practically decided then and there that I would rather have my daughter wear spectacles at an early age than to have her suffer later on).
Back at home, Lyka was resistant about wearing her glasses. Well, of course! She’s only two and a half! What did I expect? But I had to be firm and firmer about the our new rule: Lyka always has to wear her glasses. It took a lot of crying and bawling and screaming to enforce the new rule. It was frustrating for the both of us. Then lo and behold, in two days’ time, I got her to wear her glasses comfortably and without any protests! Yay! Now she even asks me or her dad to put on her glasses for her if she wakes from sleep. I just hope that her eye condition is corrected as soon as possible so that she’ll look at he world clearly.
