i had a bad day

i wus sik

(Goals, we have them: Right now I'm working really hard at getting him comfortable with typing and writing. We are also working really hard at sounding out words. As you can tell, that doesn't always equal success. As he gets better at sounding them out, I'll start correcting him on commonly used words, like "was" and "good". Once we get sounding words out down to a fine art we'll start work on other things like punctuation and capitalization. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get him to remember to put spaces between words. Then it was, and still sometimes is I'm sure, too many spaces. This is all a process. But for now I just want him comfortable with sounding out words, even if they still end up spelled wrong. I want him comfortable with writing, even with it's flaws. This is a long process. And as always and forever more, if you need a translator, just ask.)

Eyes

The other day I had a really bad migraine and a fever so mom took me to the urgent care. While there they gave me an eye exam. I failed it.

Today mom took me to an appointment with an eye doctor. He says I have an astigmatism and need glasses. I only have to wear them when I'm studying and at school. They will be ready in 2-3 weeks. I wanted them today though. I want to wear glasses.
