AJ's eye doctor appointment didn't go quite as well as we'd hoped. While his vision continues to improve, the doctor is concerned that AJ still has a tendency to cross his left eye when not wearing glasses.
He wants AJ to wear a patch on his good eye for two hours every day until the next appointment, which isn't until next April! That ought to be swell for all involved.
Jeff and I immediately tried to put a positive spin on it for AJ, telling him that he gets to be a pirate when he wears the patch. The well-meaning doctor quickly jumped on board, enthusiastically adding, "you can be a pirate for Halloween."
Wrong thing to say!
Poor AJ looked crestfallen as he quietly said, "but I want to be Spiderman for Halloween." (We quickly assured him that this wouldn't affect his costume choice. And thankfully, AJ was able to pick out two patches with dinosaurs on them, making it all the more palatable.)
