Paloma and I went to look at the Del Mar Preschool this morning. I think its full name is something like "The Del Mar Preschool for the Severely Handicapped". I hate applying that terminology to Lyle. Yes, he has some developmental delays (mostly in language acquisition but in other areas as well). But he's so bright! And happy. The preschool itself seemed like a nice continuation of the program he's in currently. Caring adults nurturing children in a rich and stimulating environment. He would ride the bus to get there.

Lyle got glasses yesterday. His ophthalmologist has been telling us for quite some time now that he is far-sighted. If we don't correct it now he runs the risk of developing crossed-eyes. Paloma got the frames from an organisation called Blind Babies Foundation. I guess I should link to a picture here but I haven't posted yesterday's photos yet. Well I will. Someday. If I decide to continue with this blog.
