It seems that spending the last 15 or so years spending most of my waking hours staring at a computer monitor has finally caught up with me. On Friday I went for an eye exam for the first time in, well, EVER, as my right eye had been feeling weird and I was getting more headaches than normal. The verdict: I need reading glasses. Just for when I'm at work, pretty much. I have to admit I was surprised when she started testing corrective lenses on me and we got to one where I thought, "hey--that small type does look clearer now! Go figure!" I've always had perfect vision, and even now I don't notice a distinctive blurriness to anything when I read, but I'm definitely straining.
Next step: pick out glasses. I'll post a photo when I get them.

Jazz hands!
Dexter loves to clap along to music, and he also does this cute little "Jazz Hands" dance. He does this even when I inflict my caterwaul singing on him, so he gets really excited when he hears a song by a professional musician.

What we did on our summer vacation
We visited Grandma Eileen and Grandpa Moe! Daddy stayed home. Mommy almost had a nervous breakdown dealing with the two of us on the plane*. It was a long trip, but so worth it! Look at all the fun we had:
We met our cousin Stella! We dug for dinos with Auntie Anne!
We ate pancakes every morning and swam all the time!
We had a pool party with Stella and our friends Elly and James!
We did other fun stuff that Mommy didn't take pictures of, like mini golfing, trips to Sarson's Beach, and Croc-Talk. The weather was sunny and warm the entire time we were in Kelowna, so it felt like a true summer vacation.
Daddy did a lot of chores around the house while we were gone. We think he caught up on his sleep, too.
*Well, mostly Dexter. He squirmed constantly on both trips and was fussy for most of the flight home. Oh joy. Henry watched "Happy Feet" and other movies on his portable DVD player for hours on end and enjoyed all the treats I gave him to stay quiet. Putting electrical outlets on each seatback was a brilliant move on AC's part. No worries about running the battery down!
