I have spent my morning taking Ashton to the eye doctor to get contacts. I remember when I got mine 100 hundred years ago and unfortunately it appears he has my eyes. Poor kid! He tried so hard to put them in and managed to finally do it and then had to practice taking them out. He couldn't put them back in after that and his eyes were red and irritated. The lady that was helping (I mean if you can call someone who might have been 12 a lady) was really not much help. I finally decided that we would just master this at home and he was pretty proud of himself when he finally got them in. I remember getting mine at about the same age and my parents hovering over me while I tried to put them and getting so frustrated! I keep reassuring him that he will be able to do it without thinking really soon. I think he likes them and he's amazed at how clearly he can see now.
Our day has otherwise been pretty easy. Ryan spent the night last night so the boys have spent time swimming and playing Wii. What a life! Brady has promised 2 hours of bassoon practice tonight and I am holding him to his word. I think we had a small break through yesterday after Sylvan. He actually said he liked the teacher and he didn't complain all the way home. I'm sure that was a fluke, but I will take what I can get!
I have to work Thursday and Friday night. The boys are getting excited about church camp all next week. This will be the 3rd year they have gone and they love it. I remember being really worried the first time they went and hated that they didn't call home. My how the times have changed. I am as excited about them going as they are! I'm hoping to be able to get some things done around here and I hope that my sweet husband and I can go to dinner and a movie. That would be a nice treat.
Melissa and I walked again this morning. I'm pretty proud of us for making it 3 days in a row and we plan on walking again tomorrow. She was sharing with me some of the antics of her little darlings! They are so cute even when they are pushing every button you have. I'll try to remember that when Emma comes along.
