pirate becca


Becca has been blessed with eyes just like her mom and dad's...not so great at seeing ones! She's had glasses since she was 2, and honestly, I don't think that she could look any cuter in them. We had our annual trip to the specialist yesterday and her eyes are getting even worse. so, new lenses and a foray into the world of pirates! She has to wear a patch 5 days out of the week for the next month until we see the doctor again. She's been such a good sport and other than the eye drops she got (she thought they were going to put needles in her eyes thanks to her big brother) she hasn't even made a fuss. In fact, she was super excited to be a princess pirate today with princess stickers on the patch. The only question she asked was if people at church would make fun of her (that sound you hear is my heart breaking) and I assured her that she didn't have to wear it that day but even if she did, people would love her. So much for a 4 year old...but what a cute pirate!

And let's not forget what overprotective dads do with people who make fun of their daughter.

what a wonderful girl. her friend elijah has worsening eyes as well. oh what we take for granted.

mike, i've got your back if anyone messes with the girl. in fact, as i am not from your around those parts i can execute justice while leaving you the advantage of plausible deniability. so just let me know.

I hate that heart breaking feeling when it comes to your kids. I love the pirate princess look. Who wouldn't want to be a pirate princess.
