Happy Harried Housewife

Another one of my brother-in-law's photos

Kendall had an appointment with the ophthalmologist yesterday whose gut is telling him that everything is fine (other than her currently being legally blind in her right eye what with her optic nerve being all but useless). He said that in the large majority of cases of healthy kids her age with no other symptoms it isn't unusual that they never figure out what caused the nerve to swell. To be on the safe side Kendall had some blood drawn today to check her blood cells, electrolytes, and factors that show up in auto-immune diseases. She is also having an MRI of her brain done next Wednesday. Within the last 12 months, Kendall has broken her wrist, had bunion surgery, gotten reading glasses, and is now temporarily blind in one eye. She asked me to shoot her today, but I don't have a gun.

This photo, which I LOVE, was taken by Kendall. She takes amazing portraits.

And in "those happy moments of parenting" news, Will is currently being potty trained! Yay (sort of)! He's been incredibly resistant to it up until now, and this time he's actually doing pretty well as long as we take him to the toilet on scheduled intervals. The telling us he has to go to the potty, not so much. I am currently drying my first load of accident clothing and I am happy to say there is less soiled stuff going into the washer. So yay! Happy potty training days are here! Woo hooo!!!

It's been a bit exhausting around here, what with all the running, pottying, and extra laundry on top of everything that I normally have to do, so if I go a few days without a post, please send some energy my way!
