When they were checking her eyes I wanted to cry. I had to cover her left eye (the good eye) with my hand while they tested the right eye. She would move her head all around and say she could not see the object they were showing her. I seriously thought there for a minute that she was blind in that eye.
After more testing it was determined that she is EXTREMELY far sighted. As objects move closer to her face she cannot see them and her eye starts to wonder. This is called "Lazy Eye". She has most likely had vision problems since infancy. Seriously, am I that bad of a Mother? I didn't even notice until she was 3.
Next week McKinley will have to start wearing her glasses with a patch on the left eye to strengthen her right eye. I feel so sad that we have to cover her beautiful face and eyes with glasses. The eye patch is really cute and will eventually be removed but she will be in glasses the rest of her life.
I couldn't resist attaching a picture of her in her sexy grandma shades. She hated wearing those things and was begging to go home so she could take them off. Next week I will post more pics of her in her new glasses. McKinley I love you with all my heart. You are an amazing kid that I can learn a lot from. Thank you for being such a good girl to your Mom and Dad!! We Love, LoVe, LOVE you!!!

good job Kinley! I always hate needing those granny glasses too.
You're not a bad mom! I don't think a lot of people notice these things until around three! It seems like that's the age where a lot of little ones get glasses. Hopefully the patch works good for her and she doesn't have to wear it long. I'm sure she'll be adorable in her glasses, you'll have to post a picture for us!
She's such a beautiful girl! I can't wait to see her patch & glasses.
You & Jeremy are such wonderful parents. She's a lucky little girl :)
