Matching Patches

M has been a bit of a pain with her patch for the past few weeks.  Most days she uses about 4 patches, and can get the number into the double digits some days.  She has had a cold, and is working on getting 2 teeth, which I hope is the reason for this sudden onslaught of patch assaults.

To encourage more patch wearing, I have been offering M the opportunity to put patches on her favourite (could be only as well) doll.  This is a series of pictures just after they both got their matching patches on.

Hailey got her patch on just like M.

 M is admiring how her and Hailey's patches match!

 Hailey gets a big kiss from M for being such a good girl with her patch on.

Hailey also gets a great big hug for being such a good girl with her patch!

And finally M gets to take Hailey's patch off because she's been such a good girl!

Hope I'm Not Jinxing It...

M has been using this same custom contact since the beginning of August!  It really seems like it has been a contact that we have had forever, and for whatever reason it has had very few issues.  It has only wrinkled or rolled in her eye I'd guess less than 5 times in these past 2 months!  Which is amazing!

We went on a vacation for the first 2 weeks of August and (of course!) took a spare contact with us.  I really didn't think we would make it through a vacation without losing one.  And it got lost, somewhere in France.  I knew that we needed a spare, because if we had her on vacation, and lost the contact and didn't have a replacement, it would have kind of ruined our trip.  I would have been worried and festering over her not wearing her contact, and not being able to clock patching time.

I included these 2 pictures, because you can really notice the contact she's wearing.  It's a strong magnification (+20 I think...) so her vision is clear within the first few feet of herself.  Her contacts so far have a slight tendency to ride a little low, but usually fixes itself to the perfect position after a blink or two.
