Four Eyes

I had the fun and joy of taking my four oldest kids to the eyedoctor yesterday and the day before. The oldest three are already in glasses and Liam desperately wants them. Anyway, the girls were pretty normal for their exams. Gwen chatted and laughed at the Doctor's jokes and told him he was funny like her dad. Maddie wouldn't answer the questions about what letter she saw unless it was me asking her and then she said them very quietly which was a bit frustrating. Brock and Liam were kind of a riot. Brock went first and kept peppering the doctor with questions or his own facts about the science of eyes and seeing. I didn't understand half of what he was saying (stuff about rods and cones and reflection etc.) but the eye doctor thought it was great and kept complimenting him on his knowledge (great for his already huge ego). The funny thing that happened was during Brock's least favorite part, the light in the eye part (he has really light sensitive eyes) During the exam Brock said, "Are you just hurting me or are you doing something else?" He wasn't being sarcastic, he was completely serious and both me and the eye doctor found it pretty funny.

Liam never stopped talking from the time they called his name. He asked all sorts of questions, kept messing with the machines and was very 4. When he was doing the eye test if the letter was an L I A or M Liam had to comment on the fact that it was in his name and where it fit in his name. There are a lot of L's A's and M's and every time Liam would pull his face out of those big glasses things to talk about the fact that it was in his name. But the funniest thing with Liam was when the doctor asked if he had allergies. Liam told him that he was allergic to cat poop. when asked further about it (mainly to ask if he had ever eaten it) Liam siad that when he smells cat poop he sneezes. I don't know where he gets this stuff but I think he is fun to have around. Never a dull moment.
