Touching Your Eye

Eliza is getting contacts. Seems a little young, right? Well... not when she is playing soccer, dancing, and snowboarding. We went to the optometrist and he put the contacts in for her and she was thrilled. She keeps talking about wearing them to school so that her friends will think she broke her glasses again... Also, she hadn't seen herself without glasses without her face being blurry! Then it came time for her to learn how to put them in and take them out on her own. She did pretty good, but by the time she got to the second eye she was pretty tired of it. The assistant told her to come back the next day to work on it some more. She also told her to practice touching her eye before the next appointment. I promised Eliza I would practice with her. You have to hold your eye like you are putting a contact in (Eliza had to show me how... "opposite hand!") Then you quickly touch your eye ten times. This is much harder then it looked. Eliza thought it was pretty funny to watch me, the mom, not be able to touch my eye very easily. Hopefully today it goes better from the practice and she can wear her contacts!
