First trip to the Eye Doctor!

Nola had her first eye checkup, thanks to her friend Matthew's parents who are both optometrists. She put up a good fight because she didn't want to go.

Nola got dressed kicking and screaming and we didn't even attempt to do hair. I let her bring Mikey and eat breakfast in the car.

Once we got there...it was a new Nola. She was very happy!
Go figure!

The doctor was great and cleared Nola of any eye problems. (We didn't really think they would find anything..just a check!) Instead of looking at letters she looked at pictures and told what she saw. She followed the monster on the doctor's finger while he looked in her eyes and she looked at a puppy dog barking on the far side of the room while he checked her out some more. The worst part was getting her eyes dilated. She freaked at the drops but did great when the dr. checked her after 20 minutes. The funniest part was on the ride home when she tried to read a book in the car, she kept grabbing at her eyes saying, "Mom, make the letters stop moving!"

Great job Nola!
We don't have to go back for 3 years!
