My sister asked me to go with her and the Niece today to the Niece’s eye doctor appointment. My sister wanted me along so that I could be the entertainment/distraction while my sister listened to the doctor. The Niece did a good job at the long appointment (we were there from about 9:15 to noon). She only really melted down once and it was a completely warranted melt-down.
The upshot of the appointment is that the Niece will have to wear glasses. Let me tell you, she looked adorable in the sample set of glasses. I told her that I didn’t know if I’d be able to control myself when she starts wearing her glasses all the time because of the need to nibble on her would increase exponentially. She told me she didn’t need glasses and then she asked for her sunglasses. Because they are two completely different things, silly.
We started a new thing today while sitting on the floor in front of the eyeglass case. I whispered that she was “my her name here” and then I hugged her. Then she hugged me and said “my my name here“. It was the best.
