WYATT'S CONTACTS!!!

Wyatt got contacts today! It's so weird seeing him without his glasses. It's not something I ever would have brought up at his age, but he has been wanting them for a while. He had his yearly eye doctor appointment today and they gave him a trial pair to see how it goes. I was really surprised how easily he got them in and out. I know I had more trouble than he did when I first got them and I was older. I mean, it did take him a few tries, but all in all, better than I had expected. We'll see how it goes. It'll be nice for baseball at least. I'm sure he won't wear them all the time. Although, he was only supposed to wear them for 5 hours today and he did not want to take them out.
He embarrassed the heck out of me at his appointment. He told the doctor and the contact fitter lady that Jeff Foxworthy is his idol. Now that's something to be proud of! He then went on to recite several of Foxworthy's choicest jokes to them. He has them on his MP3 player and listens to them constantly. He started to tell the one---"You might be a redneck if you think that Silence of the Lambs is what happens when Bill goes into the barn" or something like that. Luckily, I stopped him before he finished-he doesn't even get that one--or at least I hope he doesn't.
I guess it could be worse---he could be hooked on Larry the Cable Guy--YIKES!

Yeah, I think if he is going to idolize one of those guys...then Jeff Foxworthy is definately the best one. That's so funny.
