Micah is also growing up way too fast. In the last couple of weeks he has become fully day potty trained. I'm back down to only one child in diapers (Micah does still wear a diaper at night, but that's it). Micah has also started to read books aloud to Ezra or Mama or Dada and sings us songs too! As many of you probably know, Micah likes to be a helper around the house and he really likes to try to vacuum, but my vacuum was just too big for him to handle. So I got some suggestions from other moms and bought him a lightweight vacuum which has been perfect! He loves to vacuum up messes for me with it. He loves to help with dishes too, so I wash and he rinses most of our dishes. I'm just so lucky to have such a big helper, and I know Ezra will want to join in the fun when he is a little bigger too. I can already hear it: "I want to vacuum!", followed by: "But I want to use it too!" ;)
Finally, we've been investigating what looked like strabismus in Micah's left eye, but as of today he has been diagnosed with Brown Syndrome in his right eye. His right eye muscle is very tight and he is unable to look straight up. He tries so hard to make the eye look that his left ends up overshooting and goes too far up, making the left eye look very odd when really it's the right eye with the problem. As of now we are just going to watch it, and unless it worsens the eye will be left alone because it does not affect his ability to see, he'll just have to use his neck to lean back and look up more, since his eye can't look as far up as it normally would be able to. He's been a champ at the eye doctor's as we've visited several times to figure out the problem. In fact, he thinks he's pretty hot stuff sitting up on the exam chair now, haha.
