We also found out that Leo has accommodative dysfunction in his eyes and needs vision therapy. That means that his eye muscles cannot maintain focus, his peripheral vision isn’t good, and he uses his whole body to track objects instead of moving his eyeballs. The doctor recommended therapy once a week for 5 to 7 months. She said it was great that we caught it in kindergarten rather than fourth or fifth grade when he declared himself “not a reader!” His piano teacher actually was the one who noticed that he was turning his head to the side in order to maintain focus on his sheet music. So, even if nothing comes of piano with him, I will be eternally grateful to her. And that’s three health issues in about ten days, and we are done!
Other scenes from the week:
Leo’s book from kindergarten! Instant classic!
Wallypalooza, our elementary school’s annual festival/fundraiser was Friday, and the boys had fun playing games! And I won two baskets! Mom’s night out and Home/garden—few people put their tickets in for those, going for the children’s themed ones instead!
This is how Jason gets his own oatmeal in the morning! Ha!
And I started reading this book and am inspired to make a few changes!
Nicholas and Olivia are at their YGuides spring outing this weekend. Pictures to come!!
Poor Nicholas and Yay to the piano teacher for catching it early. I'm glad he is able to get the help he needs early.
