Day 2 with Molly's eye patch

KIDS ARE AMAZING!!!
This is the second day with Molly's eye patched....and she did absolutely wonderful!  Kids adapt to things so well.  Don't get me wrong, we had a few struggles....but already on the second day I have seen how much better she has done from yesterday!  She fights putting the patch on in the morning and after nap time.
**Side note....two days in a row with a nap for Molly is WIERD to me!
She has a hard time waking up and realizing that she needs to wear the patch to get her eye better.  She had a special visitor come to the house this morning to check on her and play with her.  Molly LOVED that Papa Bear came to see how she was doing!!!  He brought her a couple things.....a gallon of "real" chocolate milk that he knows she loves....and 10 golden dollar coins.  He said they needed to count them and she could put them in her piggy bank.  Molly did GREAT setting them out and counting them!!!  Then Papa Bear reached in his pocket and emptied all the rest of his coins....they counted them and Molly's piggy got 17 more coins to put in her bank!  Molly thought it was a lot of fun!  Oh....and he had her reach into his pocket to get a "bill" out of it.....well, needless to say...Molly gets to pick out a present the next time we go to the store if she keeps wearing her patch!  Papa Bear was a great help with Molly today!
Molly & I spent the first 1.5 hours of our morning playing PLAY-DOH!!!
 Dad & Molly counting the coins before she could feed her piggy!
Molly is really working with making her eye stronger!
 She played dress up a lot.....here is my beautiful Rapunzel!!
 Harper & Molly
(We went over to Emily's to watch her daycare kids for a couple hours while she took Natalie for her 2 month appointment.  Harper came late today so she stayed upstairs with Molly & I and watched "Hop" as the other kids were sleeping....but they both ended up falling asleep too!)
 Two days in a row - a nap for Miss Molly!!!
Making that one eye work is really tiring!
 While Kelly was at a friends house, we went to the park.  Molly had a great time!!!
 Molly & Harper making the BEE go FAST!
Walking home with Harper....they held hands on their own....it was adorable!

Day 1 of wearing the patch = 6.25 hours
Day 2 = 10 hours!!!

YEAH MOLLY!!!
