Mommy....His Eyes Are Broken?

Thanks Conan. Last night we watched some of the neighborhood ball as Adrie was winding down for bed. Stevie Wonder sang and Adrie asked why he was wearing glasses. We were both quiet for a moment and then Conan told her in a sad tone that his eyes are broken. Big oooops. I then said oh it's just too bright, but that didn't do it. I was worried that because I wear glasses that she might think my eyes were broken. Sure enough. As we were going through our nightly bedtime routine Adrie said over and over "his eyes are broken?" to which I would say yes honey but it's okay. Our routine usually takes a max of 15 minutes and last night it took over 30 minutes because she was so disturbed. At one point she reached up and touched my glasses and said "mommy's eyes broken?" The poor child was traumatized. I finally said Adrie it's okay now no more talking about it....then she had a melt down "HIS EYES ARE BROKEN!!!!!!" My goodness. To calm her down I asked her if she would like to pray for him. So as we said our bedtime prayers we included Stevie Wonder that he may know the Lord and have restored site whether on earth or in heaven. Did that work you ask.....NO! I had to just lay her in bed as she is repeating it over and over "His eyes are broken, his eyes are broken?". So I told her to hurry and go to sleep so that she could go see her cousin Jojo in the morning. She rolled over and promptly went to sleep. Why didn't I try that first. In the morning when she comes in to our room with her sleepy face the first thing out of her mouth is usually "milky" or "I waked up!" but this morning it was "his eyes are broken?" What a goofy girl.
