TooHaSpoBrush


The red Chuck Taylors Eddie got for his birthday are working as advertised--those classic basketball shoes are making him jump. He sure seems to like wearing them!
Check out Den's "new" glasses. He's really branching out. The optician warned us the lens would be super thick at the edge of the frame, which is was, but they didn't predict the lens popping out and the frames stretching out such that they could not stay on his face. They are kind of a greenish brownish. Now he's ordered his self-described boring glasses that will accomodate progressives. I think they'll look good, just not as hip as he was going for.

Progressives, you ask? They are for old blind people. Den needs glasses that combine 3 different fields of view without the line in a bifocal. His initial experience, prior to the lens popping out was quite positive.
The drawer above Eddie's play drawer in the kitchen is full of oven mitts, so when he's not dumping legos everywhere, he's taken to playing with the oven mitts, occassionally trying them out.

I've been so proud of Eddie's knowledge of what to do with his hairbrush. This was until he climbed into my shower and procceeded to use the old toothbrush I use to get the grime off the shower walls as a hairbrush. Okay, sorry, that's what Den uses to clean the shower. Anyway, Eddie thinks it's a hairbrush. I can see how the bristles on a toothbrush could be confused with the bristles on the tiny hairbrush I have for him.

But a spoon? He found a plastic blue spoon in my office. Don't ask, he seemed to like playing with it one time, so I left it up there. I've learned that I will allow Eddie to make toys out of a lot of different things in the name of distraction and entertainment. There he sat, running the spoon over his hair like a hairbrush.

Hey, lay off the old blind people!

(And I'm not wearing progressives yet -- taking my glasses on and off two bajillion times a day whenever I need to read something is working just fine. Good thing reading's not part of my job or anything.)
