Busy Monday

James went to the second eye doctor today, the one who checks vision. (Mike took him, since I had to be at work.) It all went well -- it doesn't sound like he'll need glasses right now, which is great! I was hoping I wouldn't have to figure out how to keep glasses on a baby or toddler. Heck, the way these little guys are grabbing things right now, I'm lucky to keep my own glasses on. :) The doctor does want to see him again in three months, because James still has a slight tendency to cross his eyes when he's looking at something close to his face. Hopefully he'll grow out of it, but presumably there are ways to treat it if he doesn't.

It was very hard to walk out the door for my first real day back at work, but it went well, too. Efficient meetings, friendly colleagues -- I really can't complain. When I arrived back home, the babies were both in the crib with the lights down low. James had just woken up from a nap and Matthew was apparently resisting taking one. James gave me a big smile, but Matthew was too busy chewing on a toy to say hello. I got some smiles later, but I think Mattie was saving his biggest grins for Stanley today!
