Fun Friday

Tonight we had a house full of guests.  We were suppose to go out to eat, but Nathan started feeling a little under the weather, so the party came to us.  We ordered in Wild Wings, and really enjoyed being together.  Nathan perked up and he and Patrick had a blast playing with Grandma, Aunt Brenda, Aunt Debra, Dexter and Lindsay.

Once everyone had left and things had settled down, Rusty told Patrick it was time to put his patch on for the night.  You see a year ago this month we discovered that our oldest son Patrick was having trouble seeing.  When we took him to the doctor, we never expected them to say his vision in both eyes was 20/100.  I'll never forget the way my heart felt that day.  But we let him pick out his glasses and our journey into "sightseeing" had begun.  After a few visits they told us that his left eye was stronger than his right, so we patch his left eye each night for one hour to help the right.  He has two patches that we purchased online to help make this process a little fun.  His favorite is the one with a lightning bolt and a capital P.  He says it stands for "POWERFUL Patrick" , although the company says powerful patch.  Tonight when it was time to put it on, Nathan asked if he could have one.  So here is the result of his question:

 

How cute!! He really does love his brother and wants to do EVERYTHING he does.  What can I say, he's a HOOT!
