Attention Moms: Use that Mommy intuition!

Male enhancements prepared with natural ingredients helps with erection problems without causing any side effects; icks.org cialis viagra generico it improves the blood flow to the penis which helps with the harder erection during the sessions of intercourse. This prescription online cialis canada ought to be taken an hour ahead of lovemaking. Also, it’s a common tendency to ignore the underlying cause of ED and focus more on the on-page factors more than it has http://icks.org/n/bbs/content.php?co_id=SPRING_SUMMER_2005 generic tadalafil online done in the past. Then again, some basic symptoms are certain sildenafil wholesale to happen on taking the medication.
I recently had a head on encounter with good old mom intuition. That little feeling way down deep that creeps up when for no distinct reason you, the mom, sense something is wrong. This mom intuition lead my little man to get his first pair of glasses.

He never not even once told me that he couldn’t see. He didn’t give me any indication that he couldn’t see. He watched T.V. just fine, played the ipad, played sports no problem. The one thing he didn’t want to do was anything with paper and pencil. He doesn’t like to color, he will not write, he has trouble cutting, he even has trouble tracing letters. At first glance lots of people and even I thought he might have trouble with his fine motor skills. Luckily I have an Occupational Therapist for an Aunt who said his fine motor skills were great. Hmmm now what!? He even passed the eye exam they give at the pediatrician’s office at their 4 year old visit. This is where the mom intuition comes in.
I decided that I would take him in for an eye exam before he started preschool just to make sure everything was a-OK, I thought something might be off with his vision. It’s a good thing I took him in because he left with a whopping prescription for a 4 year old. My little man is extremely farsighted. No wonder he didn’t want to color, write, trace, or cut… he couldn’t see any of it! Now he is happy to look just like Dad and see everything through new eyes.
I wrote this post to let all of you moms out there know that your mom intuition, gut feeling, or whatever else you call it means something. Just because your doctor tells you something is fine or you don’t see the “right” signs for a problem don’t ignore your instinct. Thankfully “Batman’s” eyesight was a very fixable problem with an easy solution. Give yourself a pat on the back moms, we have pretty important jobs.
