My Sweet Belle

This girl...

She lights up our world. This is her this morning just after getting up...at 10:30.
This morning upon waking, she took her little 3 year old self into the restroom, locked the door behind her, and started her morning routine. I knocked to make sure she was okay, and after unlocking the door, a little eye peeped through a barely open door. Behind that big door a little voice informed me should would be "just one minute."

We're going today to pick out her magic glasses. We're praying to find just the right pair to match our little Belle. Yesterday we put a patch on for a while...just to jump start her healing while we wait for her magic glasses to come in. She was pretty fearful at first try, and it was sooo hard to watch. But as her eye adjusted and she began to play, we were really pleased with how well she saw. We played with her alphabet flashcards, and she could see and recount all the letters. That is great news as far as the vision in that eye goes. Hopefully we've caught this so early, the restoration process will be even quicker and easier than anticipated.
much love,
ejk
