So what do you want to know most about him in this picture? The fact that he is holding a horse folder on his head, the fact that he is wearing an eye patch, or the fact that his bulging ribs look like he hasn't eaten in months. Well, he is very in to horses these days, and picked this folder out for school. He loves it. Yes, we are still patching his eye one hour a day and could be doing that until he is 8 years old. We are patching the good eye for the weak eye to be forced into working. Without this intervention the weak eye could go totally blind. Needless to say, we have great incentive to make sure we get the patching done. And his ribs....I promise he eats, regularly. The angle at which the picture was taken makes them look like they are protruding but I assure you that with his arms at his side he looks very normal. :)
