Small Successes for April 15
1. For the first time since before Elise was born, I made it to the eye doctor for an eye exam (the once a year routine ones). Granted, Greg had to come with me to help Kid-Wrangle, but it all worked out in the end. And I get new lenses (hurrah), complete with bifocal-y goodness. [...]
Speech update
Ever since Elise’s 18 month well baby check last month started the whole “she’s behind her peers in speech and may need to be EVALUATED unless she catches up” bonanza, Greg and I have been doing our best to 1) not totally believe this need for evaulation due to Greg being a VERY late talker [...]

Happy Easter!
