果果的视力矫正镜片

果果暑假读了太多书,读完了Harry Potter的七本,视力开始下降,看东西会眯眼了。检查视力发现近视度数100-150。我们决定给果果配戴Ortho-k视力校正镜片。硬质的隐形镜片是晚上睡觉前戴上,校正眼球,早上摘除。白天视力会改善不需要带眼镜。果果佩戴后效果很好。一天后去检查,视力完全恢复正常达到20/20。唯一的困难在于眼镜很难戴上。果果对于眼前的东西会不停的眨眼,而且不能睁大眼睛。每天晚上我们都要花费一个小时尝试,偶尔能戴上两支,多数时候是徒劳无功。好在果果能过坚持不懈,每天尝试。

Ashely came back from her 3 nights 4 days urban camping. She had a great time with dad and other kids.Her favorite outside activities are roasting mashmellow, climbing sand, watching firework on cruise, and playing with Emily. She also watched movie Frozen, finished reading Harry Potter III, and wrote her Chinese homework in the tent. She behaved very well and helped Dad caught up all events.

Today, Ashley came back home, she bring mommy a very good present, some collected rocks and a letter she wrote down in the day of July 4th. I’m so so happy for this.

Mini rose

We bought a mini rose from store, very cheap $2.5, pink color; Ashley and I took care of it carefully this time, watering it in the morning and in the evening, put it under the shadow of backyard during daytime. It blossom very well this time, it’s so pretty. Although I often remind Ashley go take care of it, Ashley keeps her responsibity well.

we enjoyed our mini rose very well.

Reading Harry Potter

果果开始读Harry Potter,三天就看完了第一本。这几乎是给她打开了另一扇神奇的大门,她非常的enjoy,非常的投入,好像也不是太害怕,至少是精彩的情节hold住她坚持读完。
今天,又让她看了相应的电影。她也很开心。决定一周以后再让她看第二册,看她的接受程度。担心她害怕,让大人陪她睡了一晚上,她自己睡得象小死猪一样。
