Finn turned five last month. It is hard to believe! A couple of days before his birthday we cheated and gave him one of his gifts. It was the perfect day to invest time on it. It was a dinosaur "fossil"...
We spent hours chipping away at it. He dug out all the pieces and put together his own dino...
His birthday wishes were pretty simple. He wanted me to make him a cupcake...
and he of course loved getting some new toys he had had his eye on for months...
and he wanted to bowl...
and he wanted a solar system party. His birthday part was a lot of fun. We had a great turnout of family and friends. I didn't take photos. My photographer friend did and so I will share those another time. But I did snap a few when the kids were playing...
Finn went for his 5 year check up. He was 75% in height and 50% in weight. He was 44.5 inches and 42 lbs. (although at home we have measured closer to 45)
He spent some of his birthday money on these crazy glasses...
and then he actually had to get glasses. At the well visit, the doctor used a little machine and recommended we take Finn in for an eye exam...
The eye doctor said that all kids start out farsighted. By Finn's age most kids have outgrown that. Finn had not. His vision was around a +3. So you can start to see children develop eyes that go in and other issues. She thought it would be best to put him in glasses with a rx a little under what he needed with the hopes that his eyes will essentially grow out of the farsightedness.
He picked out his own frames and has done an outstanding job wearing them! He is very careful with them. Man, we see a major difference in him. We had no idea he couldn't see. Don't adjust your glasses....
It is blurry. But I don't have many of him in his new glasses =)
