Glasses on Babies

Yesterday I picked up glasses for my 8 month old baby. She looks pretty cute in them! I am not looking forward to keeping them on her face.
She has a condition called Nystagmus which is a technical term for her "jiggly" eyes. She has the same thing that her older sister has and that was how we knew to take her in. However, the glasses aren't for the nystagmus but for her myopia(near-sightedness) although there seems to be a slight beneficial decrease in the jiggling with her glasses.
I have been amazed at how well keeps them on for being a baby but the bigger challenge is proving to be putting them on her. It seems she is sleeping or eating/nursing so often that I am taking them off and not putting them on.

Lily and Matt and the destruction of a whole box of kleenex Tom Ari in the tree Matt's birthday

Yesterday the boys had a school holiday so Dave took a day off and we headed for the mountains. My awesome husband loves to ski and spent many hours on the slopes, but that was all before he married me. I would love for him to ski but life happens with a family and budgets exist and it makes skiing a hard hobby to maintain. Plus we spent about 3.5 yrs in Minnesota where you get lots of snow but not a single ski hill in sight-what a waste of snow. The last couple years, I have tried harder to give my husband chances to ski. We even went out about 3 years ago and purchased all the gear at a rental store going out of business. And I close my eyes as I see how much we pay, tell myself it is all worth it, and then smile. (Remember I am cheap so skiing just wouldn't naturally be on my radar.) This year for Christmas I gave my husband 2 lift tickets purchased for a great deal at Costco. First of all, I am used to spending lots of money at Costco and that way I wouldn't stress ...
