Where's Aba?

Jumping Bean: Where's Aba?

Eema: I think he went to work today. It's Monday. Do you miss him?

JB: But how can he be at work when I am still here with you?

E: Do you want to call him on the phone and say good morning?

JB: I think maybe he's hiding in the closet or something.

Awwwww.

JB had her first eye exam yesterday. She loved it, but would have loved it more if allowed to play with all the ultracool doctor tools. Her eyesight is perfect at this point, but keep your fingers crossed. Mine was too when I was tiny.

Public health covers annual eye exams for kids only. Adults have to pay, so I think many people are just getting the mini-check now at the quickie eyeglass places. It'll be interesting to see the implications of that play out on a country-wide scale. Meantime, we shell out, because our eyes are bad enough already.
