And eyes and ears and...

Nose and mouth. Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!

Jim took Finn to the eye doctor yesterday morning for a recheck from June. They were concerned that he has the same problem Korri does with his eyes focusing differently. However, they tested the eye first that they tested second last time and compared to the first eye tested last time (does that make sense?) and they are fine! He sees 20/30, which means he is a little near-sighted...to be expected with a quasi-blind near-sighted father! No glasses; at least for now!

The afternoon ENT appt didn't have as good of an outcome. Finn had a follow up from June at the ENT. He had fluid in his ears at that point and the Dr wanted to see if (by blowing bubbles and chewing gum, etc) we could get the fluid to go away. Not only didn't it go away, but he had an ear infection two weeks ago (which thankfully cleared up!). SO, Finn is getting tubes and his adenoids removed on August 20 :( I'm really bummed about this but choosing to not wallow in it. They will be putting in longer tubes that are more permanent and will hopefully stay in longer than 6 months, which is how long his first set lasted. So please, put it on your calendar and say a prayer for Finn when you wake up that day (we need to be at Children's by 6:45am!).

On a lighter note, Finn's "wake up" alarm arrived yesterday and we used it last night for the first time. It is so stinkin' cute. Before bed, we explained that when the clock is dark, it isn't time to get up, but when it turns green, you can get up. We said, "dark means sleep, green means get up!" We did a pretend situation so he would know what we are talking about, but he didn't really seem to "get" it. However, this morning, he didn't start knocking on his door (we still have the door cover on his door handle) until 7:40am and we had it set for 7:30am. Maybe he didn't wake up until then, but he knew he could get up. We'll see and if he really does "get" it and adhere to it, I'd feel comfortable taking the door handle cover off so he can come to OUR door instead of pounding on his and waking Korri up!

Finn admitted that he had fun at sports class last night! Yay. He never admits he has fun EVER (must be a stubborn three year old thing). Last night was T-ball (Finn is in the black shirt to the left). God bless the patience these coaches have! Jim agreed, this class is WAY more appropriate for Finn's age and I think Finn likes that a lot of his friends are there, too.
