Health Screenings and Funny Kids
A benefit of going to a ‘real’ pre-school has been the random health screenings that are part of the territory. Hearing screening, Adelaide needed tubes put in. Eye screening, Adelaide needed glasses. And so on.
When at the eye doctor picking up her glasses, the doctor told Sarah that there would be an adjustment period “while her brain adjusts to seeing the new way”. Or some similar. Over the weekend, we’re asking Adelaide how she likes her glasses and if she can see better. “Yeah, I think my brain is adjusted.”
Sarah says, “you listen very well, don’t you?”
“Yeah, now that I can hear,” AEB replies, in her best teenager impersonation.
Never one to be outdone, Jack Thayer (or “Just Jack” as he currently prefers), is also high on the drama. Every answered question is followed with (good news) “Yes!” or (bad news) “Oh man”.
For example, “Can I sleep with this soccer ball?” Sure. “Yes!” “Can I watch Disney Channel all day?” No. “Oh, man.”
