{If I can't be the glue can somebody hold me together?}

Yesterday was a big day for Logan and I. We went to the Optimologist. And for the first time as a mother I felt true guilt. Not the kind that you feel when you give a spanking and feel a little bad afterwards, the real kind. The kind that because of me it's possible he could have issues with his eye forever. I'm sure like Rick most of you think I'm being hard on myself, but as a mother I can't help but feel responsible. Here's the story: About a year ago we noticed Logan crossed his eyes a lot. I happened mostly when we wanted him to smile for a picture. We thought he was making a funny face at us. But I think I was in denial that he really had a problem. It was pretty noticeable. Fast forward to now. He still does this but it has gotten better. So at his ped check up I had him take a look and he refereed us to the eye doctor. That leaves us at yesterday. Turns out he has Accommodative esotropia. It's an outward turing eye, that happens when the child is trying to focus on far away objects and occurs mostly when they are daydreaming, tired or ill. That's why it's only sometimes noticeable. Here's where I come in. Since I waited to bring him in it may be harder to correct the muscles that may be permanently damaged. He was told yesterday that the first step is he needs to wear glasses. He was SO upset. His reaction made me heart break. I wanted to cry, but had to make it a no big deal situation. And I know it's not that big of a deal. It's really common and worst case scenario is surgery (which is a mild one at that) But Logan is really taking this hard. I feel awful. I know that I could not change the fact that he has this, but maybe if I got him in one year ago well...We do think it has gotten better so hopefully with the glasses it will help that much more. Here's the thing, He'll hate them because they will not help his vision, in fact the Dr. said he will most likely complain that he sees worse in them. So how do I concince my 4 year old that he needs to wear them?

Experience of a Lifetime!

Yesterday I had the most amazing experience. My best friend Sarah and I got to be in a movie! Our friend(more so Sarah's friend I met him through her) wrote this exciting movie and is now directing and filming it. he called her and asked if we wanted to come to Hollywood and be extras. Of course we said yes! We get there and they say that they need someone to play the bartender for this specific bar scene, yep you guessed it I was the official bartender! Here's the best part, the star of the movie is Cam Gigandet. You may not know him but he is the vampire James in the up coming Twilight movie. If you know me you know I am obsessed with Twilight so how exciting is that! He was really nice and kinda shy. The leading woman in the film is Jenna Malone. You may know her as the young girl in the movie "Step mom" with Julia Roberts. She was not there yesterday. So this is pretty much an indi film, but hopefully it comes out in the next year! Let me just tell you yesterday made my week! If not year hee hee. Dork!!! Here's a pic of Cam:


I guess he's kinda cute hee hee

{My Baby is 2 Today!}

I can't believe 2 years have gone by since Brooklyn came into our lives. On the other hand she has been such an amazing addition to our family, I cannot imagine life without her! She is such a blessing! I remember her birth like it was yesterday. It was such an easy labor. She gave me no problems. Having her made us feel like giving birth was the easiest thing ever. We went home from the hospital in less than 24 hrs. We we came home Logan was so excited. He was only 6 months older than she is today. He made all these cute noises, cuddling and cooing to her. I remember thinking how lucky I was at that moment. Today I still feel so lucky to have such a beautiful. healthy family. Here's a few pictures of Brooklyn this year. One at birth, 6 months, one year and then a recent. I think Brooklyn will like that she will never have school on her bday, she was born on Veteran's day! Happy Birthday sweet girl!
