New Shades

Jentry made her first visit to the eye doctor on Monday.  She did great!  She thought it was really cool to see all the neat tools they use to check her eyes.  First they took some pictures of her eyes and then she got to play a game and push a button when the lines flashed.  After the first few minutes, the assistant asked her if she was having fun and she replied, "Boring!"

Next they moved her into the big chair and she asked the doctor lots of questions.  The eye doctor is also her Sunday School teacher and the mother of her classmate Laurel, which really helped the visit go smoothly.  You gotta love small towns!

Next she read the letters on the chart and then they dilated her eyes.  The doctor told her that she was going to put some magic "water drops" in her eyes.  While we were waiting for the drops to do their magic Jentry said, "They're just eye drops, right?"  I laughed and asked her how she knew about eye drops.  Her response, "You know, I had them a long time ago when I was three or something."  I had forgotten but she did have to have some drops for pink eye, but I believe she was two.  This girl doesn't miss a beat.

After the exam, they gave her neat coloring book called Charlie the Bee Can See and really stylish pair of shades.  She thought she was so cool.
