Eyes, Milk and Peanuts, Oh my!

Eye clinic today. J's eyes are still 20/50, which the orthoptist is happy about because he hasn't gotten worse. So, we'll decrease his patching to two days (4 hours total) a week and check again in 2 months to make sure the level is still consistent. Then we'll go down to 2 hours a week and if he's still doing the same, we'll stop the patching and he'll only wear the glasses.

Got the written results of the allergy labs in the mail today. Haven't gotten these before, so it's interesting to see the actual levels. The items tested are rated 0-6 (absent to very high) depending on the blood levels. He's "moderate" in milk and whey and "high" in peanut. He's very close to "very high" for peanut.

Got to break out the sidewalk chalk, bikes and lawnmowers for the fellas this afternoon while I did some yard work. I roped J2 into picking up pinecones for me for a bit until the novelty wore off.

J is "Star of the Week" this week at school. We made a poster with pictures of J and his family, his favorite song and color and things he likes. So we glued on pictures of iPods, Ellen, the Elmo microwave, toy catalogs and Yo Gabba Gabba. He did a great job coloring it and helping me write his name and mark his age by drawing candles on a cake.

Object du Jour: We did take an iPod to eye clinic today, but he's been really loving that new Leap Frog letter toy.
