Eye checkup

Today, the boys had an eye checkup. Both boys did great at reading the letters on the screen at the other end of the room. When the letters started getting smaller, both boys would say, "They are too far away." Then they would be encouraged to read the letters again and they would read the whole line. When it was Colin's turn, he started by reading every row right to left instead of left to right. It wasn't until the doctor started putting a pointer under the letters and asking him to read the one with the pointer that he started reading the lines left to right. Both boys have really good distance vision and fall in an expected range for close up vision. In the end they were both happy they didn't need glasses.
