We went to the doctor for Annika's strabismus, got her eyes dilated, and the doctor confirmed it was accommodative esotropia. In case you're interested, here's some info about that type: "common form of esotropia that occurs in children usually 2 years or older. In this type of strabismus, when the child focuses the eyes to see clearly, the eyes turn inward..."
Then we ordered some glasses for her, and should get them within a few weeks. The doctor thinks she will eventually grow out of her need for glasses.
She was quite a delight the whole time we were at the office- I was thanking the Lord almost constantly for her good behavior. (It definitely helped that there were kids movies showing in the waiting room and exam rooms and she had an almost constant supply of snacks!)
My sweet girl wearing "gasses" waiting for her exam:
Oh Annika Joy, you make me smile... I'm so thankful for you!

Kids looks sooo cute in glasses ~ all grown up! How nice for her to grow out of her need for glasses. I've grown into it :-) Good job at the appointment, Annika!
SO glad it went well for you! I'm thinking Annika is going to be pretty adorable in her new glasses.
love you guys
She is going to look adorable. Kyler had to have glasses for an eye problem and within three years it had corrected it self and he no longer wears them. I hope this is what happens for your sweet one.
