Glasses, Haircuts, and A+ Grades

We had a big day in our house yesterday!
Ok, not THAT big, but still exciting for us.
All of our girls were due for eye exams one to two months after we moved. Womp. We had to wait for insurance to get worked out, and have just been dragging our feet.
Addi’s glasses broke. I super glued them. The broke in another spot. More super glue. Another spot. Ok, fine. I’ll call and make an appointment. She was so excited to pick out new glasses. She did such a good job with all of the tests and was so patient as her doctor and I talked about Fabry disease and how it can affect the eye. She picked out pink frames again after trying on around 10 pairs. The material is a much better quality than what we had before. Hallelujah!

She has been wanting to get her hair cut again for  quite a while. Her hair grows really quickly, and was SUPER long.  I figured I’d take her to a the salon and get it cut while we were there or it would never get done. Here is a before. (The static had her hair flying everywhere.)

Her hair is so beautiful. It tangles easily and she gets frustrated by it. I will not ever force her to keep long hair. I know how frustrating it is to sit on, get stuck in a door, everyone’s hands get caught in it, it strangles you at night.. on and on and on.

She looks so stinking cute with her new hair cut!!! She was really excited about it and keeps saying, “I’ve never had it this short!” I am obsessed with her toothless grin. haha!! I have to hide my giggles when she tries to take a bite in front and cannot do it.
I was freaking out internally the whole evening because I have such anxiety about sickness entering our home… but we survived it so far. 😉 I just want to stay at home  until Spring.
In other exciting news, Chloe got a 100% on her spelling test!!

Everyone celebrated her!! Spelling and phonics do not come easy to her, so this is a big accomplishment! I’m also proud of how well she is doing with her cursive since this is her first year of learning it. This homeschooling gig is not easy. It’s probably the hardest thing I have ever done- juggling teaching two different grades at once. But, in the end it is so rewarding.
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about homeschooling lately. I am not an expert by ANY means. I’m learning and in the beginning of this journey myself. I’d be happy to answer any questions that you may have, so feel free to ask. I’ll answer if I can! There are so many great homeschooling groups on Facebook where I go to ask my MANY questions.
Happy Tuesday! I hope that you are staying warm and well wherever you are!
