So, we started wearing the patch and it is more work than the glasses. She is suppose to wear it for a least two hours and being doing something using fine motor skills to practice her eye hand coordination. Charis is really good about trying to wear it and obeying us, but she does not like it. She learned the first day that she had to ask before taking it off. It seems like she will go about a half an hour with it on with no problems but then I think her left eye gets tired and she begs to take it off.
So far the only way to keep it on for longer is to distract her with something fun. Or meal times seem to work also. But everyday she gets better at dealing with it. I am so proud of her for being so good with all these new challenges.
Robyn (Grammy) has agreed to make her a cuter one that will slip onto her glasses and fit her better. And I think it will be less aggravating because it will not need a strap. Thanks Robyn!

What a good sport she is - I am impressed at how well she is handling all of these changes! It must be a testament to the great parenting she gets.
She's such a trooper! She can pull anything off, even an eye-patch! So cute! :)
