Holy growth spurt!

Today was Jack's official ophthalmologist check-up appointment (the other week was just practice!!!) I always get so nervous before these appointments, even though I really don't have anything to be concerned about, especially since we were just in there two weeks ago. But I have walked in there before thinking nothing was wrong and been knocked back a peg, so I can speak from experience.
Anyways, today's appointment was GREAT!! The doctor wanted to see him in his contacts first to check the fit, so that was really fun trying to get those in after 2 months of being in glasses only. I think we had the element of surprise on our hands, since it went fairly well. It was also an 8:15 am appointment so we caught Jack a little sleepy.
The most exciting part of the appointment was that Jack had a major prescription change. His contacts were decreased by 4...points, degrees, ???, whatever it's called. He was a +22 and now he's a +18. The glasses are down to a +16!!! We were really excited because this is proof that his eyes are growing and developing as normally as possible. His eyes are still normal toddler eyes, they just don't have lenses to correct his focus, hence the changing prescription.
So, back to the optometrist to get new lenses for the glasses. This could possibly explain why he was looking out of the corner of them last week. We may never know, but that's ok, because those are the lenses I'm getting replaced with the new prescription anyways.
No patching at the moment, but the doctor said we are not out of the woods yet and will probably have to patch eventually. Jack has defied a lot of odds up until now, so I'll just keep hope that we can evade that as well!!
