you’re not alone
When Hazel cries while Zoe’s around, Zoe will usually run to her and hold Hazel’s hand or give her a hug. “You’re not alone,” she’ll tell her little sister, “big sister is here.” It pretty much melts my heart into a pile of goo. Recently, I’ve found myself repeating the “you’re not alone” part to …
update on the Children’s Eye Foundation calendar contest
Ok, first thing – you all are awesome! Thank you for all the votes for Zoe in the photo contest. I’ve had a bunch of requests for updates and questions, so here goes: Zoe is in 8th place currently (oops! now 10th – yikes! Vote!). The top 12 go in the calendar, so it’s looking …
voting page is back up
The Children’s Eye Foundation voting page is back up. Thank you to everyone that has voted so far, and yes, I’m happy to shamelessly beg the rest of you to vote. There’s another super-cute picture of a boy in glasses, and I’m told that there will be another of a girl in glasses on the …
things I learned from Zoe’s surgery
My little girl is a hard-core trooper. If I had just gone through surgery, I would have been on the couch demading that Chris bring me grapes and bon-bons. Zoe was up and running around and laughing and playing that afternoon. And demanding grapes. She is my daughter after all. People rock. The internet facilitates …
better but not perfect
Zoe had another eye appointment today, this time to follow-up on her new prescription. Unfortunately, while the doctor (and I) could see that the glasses were helping with her eyes, as the doctor said, it was only better, not perfect. As in all the other appointments, the doctor had Zoe look at a toy up …
21 months
Zoe didn’t see her first fireworks this month, but she has hit a bunch of other milestones: She says the word “no”, and she is not afraid to use it. At all. Got her first haircut. Well, trim, really. She had two big curls that were longer than the rest of the back of her …
another blog
I’ve realized recently that I’ve been searching online for other parents who have dealt with small toddlers and glasses. I haven’t found much beyond a few odd (and old) postings to parenting forums and pages that are geared towards parents with older children. I know that it’s not all that common for kids Zoe’s age …
so how is Zoe, anyway?
Zoe’s doing well, she’s made the transition to the toddler room, and while she still has some hesitation in the mornings, it’s getting better and she’s always in a grand mood when we pick her up. She still doesn’t say much, but she understands a ton. I’ve been experimenting with telling her to do things …
Trendsetter
Sorry about the lack of posts. I don’t know if it’s the long, cold winter or what, but I’ve just felt a complete loss for words recently. Writing anything, even a simple email has been a long ordeal. But enough whining, that’s not what you’re here for. Zoe has made the transition to the toddler …
Help me Internets, you’re my only hope…
Ok, I need help. Well, yeah, in general, too. But right now I have two specific information needs and I’m not entirely sure where to go. (Yes, as a librarian, I should just be able to do some search magic, but I’m feeling lazy, and one of the important lessons is to know when it’s …
