She's quite uncomfortable but asleep right now. She'd said her eyes hurt. She has said that before after too much rubbing, so I just told her not to rub. When I had to clean her eyes out a little later, I thought the "allergy" she had was a cold and that it had gone to her eyes.

A few minutes later she said her eyes were itchy. I thought ah-oh. I had pink eye once. It's more gross than anything else. My eyes turned bright blue, which was strange since they're mostly green.

She doesn't mind going to the doctor. She wants the pretzel and sticker. Later, she tried to pay with her "card," a $35 gift card from Disney. Junk mail to us but such a treasure to her. I like to treat her to something after the doctor. Last time we did a milkshake. This time it was Starbucks for marble poundcake after dinner. At Starbucks, the guy played along and ran the card through the register.

She did not take the eye drops very well. It was a struggle. She's not yet at an age where explaining things works. I don't expect that to work for another 4 years. At one point I held up the eye drops and said that getting this medicine was the whole reason we went to the doctor.

I may have gotten some medicine in her eye(s). I'm not sure. At bedtime, she wiped at her eyes enough she actually asked for more eye medicine! We prayed that God would make her better. She had prayed earlier in the day that her nose, which she had wiped pretty hard with her sweater, would feel better. It did. She said that God had done His job.
