We had Ethan's first eye appointment this morning to look at his lazy eye. And, as usual, he is proving to be amazing! The doctor gave us some really great news. He said Ethan appears to have a bit of farsightedness but that it's fairly common for this age and he sees no need for glasses.
Both of his eyes are healthy on top and bottom and that the lazy / cross-eye is fairly typical for Down's babies. At this point, he sees nothing that needs to be dealt with, as it's not a constant issue and he seems to correct himself pretty quickly.
We'll go back at the beginning of October to have his eyes looked at again, unless we see any dramatic changes between now and then. But the doctor seems to think he'll be just fine and it may even be something he grows out of. Jason and I are relieved that there is one more typical Down's issue that we don't have to worry about as of yet!
We're looking forward to a fun filled weekend that hopefully included some pool time (weather permitting) and some shopping (tax free weekend here in Georgia) to get a backpack and activities to fill it for Jack to take on the airplane for our many travels coming up at the end of the summer.
I received a wonderful compliment the other day as I was leaving Target. A woman shopper stopped us and told me that out of all the children she saw at the store that day, Jack was the best behaved. It made me very proud of what a great little boy he is becoming and I can't wait for you all to see him soon. It still amazes me that he will be 3 in September. How time flies!
