Happy Birthday #11



So Daughter #2 had a good day, despite the unseasonably cold weather. Here are a few photos of her enjoying her birthday presents and cake. She got the High School Musical movies (one from Grandpa and Grandma), Nancy Drew movie, some books, a new outfit for her American Girl doll, a High School Musical doll, Littlest Pet Shop set, and a simple MP3 player. On Saturday she came down with a bad cold and hasn't been feeling too well since then. Unfortunately, this is testing week at school and she is so conscientious that she has been dragging herself to school and then I go check her out early when she is done with the tests for the day. (They only do testing in the morning.) The biggest joy in her life right now is that she went to the eye doctor on Saturday (before she started feeling sick) and she currently has a pair of trial contact lenses. She is doing great with getting them in and out and taking care of them and is thrilled about not having to wear glasses. I would've thought that contacts wouldn't be a good idea until at least age 12, but she has been telling me that about 4 kids in her school class already wear contact lenses and the eye doctor said they have many kids her age that are successful with contacts. She IS very responsible for her age so we figured we'd give it a try.
