I definitely don’t miss the days when my youngest needed eye drops before his eye tests! He was like a slippery eel with a tiger’s temper and an absolute nightmare to give eyedrops and it wasn’t helped at all by the audience of optician and the student optician that we’re usually in attendance
Who all just watch on as you struggle to hold them down....
This reminds me of the time my husband wanted to buy our youngest a light-up toy one evening in Epcot and he told us “no thanks”. We were gutted he’d decided he was too old for one
Ouch, I didn't even think of that one happening.
I know how that goes....before you know it you will be letting them go off on their own to areas of the park.
That's going to be a tough one to process. Alex and I are at that point where we daydream about time in the parks to ourselves. We forget that there's going to come a point where we'll have to beg the kids to hang with us.
It's hard when they are in school though, you are so limited as to when you can travel.
We debated long and hard about whether or not to put the kids in British schools, but ultimately decided it against it because we didn't want to fight a separate school schedule. There would have been many occasions where Alex had time off but the kids didn't and vice versa. And had we chosen the British school route, we wouldn't be able to fly back in June for the cousins meetup, so it was a good decision.
Elizabeth does better if she lays down with her eyes closed and I put the drops in the corner of her eyes and then she opens her eyes. When she opens her eyes the drops then go in the eye. She fights much less this way.
That's definitely the easiest approach. I can get Landon to take regular eye drops that way, but this antibiotic medicine he was on after his surgery was so thick that we struggled to get it to roll.
