Today my morning went a little like this:
Realize Atticus is still sick. Eat a donut.
Clean up house from the aftermath of my sick day yesterday. Eat a donut.
Take the boy outside to play. Share a donut.
Run inside for water refill, watch through the window as Atticus sits down in the mud. Eat a donut.
I bet this will help me get well fast.
In other news, David took him to the optometrist yesterday. Atticus is very far-sighted and needs glasses ASAP, and will probably need them his whole life. I know that it's really no big deal and that lots of kids need glasses and that he'll get used to them. I know that it could be much, much worse. I know we're extremely blessed to have a healthy, smart, happy little guy. But I cried.
I felt like I made him wrong. (I know, that makes no sense.) There's something wrong with him that he'll have to deal with forever. He's about to be that "fragile" toddler, more than he already is (since he's small for his age). Anyway, I took my sad half-hour yesterday, and we're movin' on. So, when picking out glasses for a not-even-two-year-old-boy, can I still make "cute" a priority over durability and whether they will stay on?
