New Construction Boom in Miami
From Ashley Cusack: 
After several years with very little construction going on in Miami, we are starting to see new construction homes and buildings going up all over the place. In Downtown Miami alone, 20 new condo projects are under construction with more in the works. A solid sign that our real estate market is booming! Developers are back out in the market looking to buy land again, and we are seeing new construction single family homes starting to emerge. I've seen a handful of homes going up in the Ponce Davis and Pinecrest areas by prominent developers. Many of these homes aren't in the MLS yet (they tend to get listed once they are closer to being finished) but there are currently 16 "under construction" listings in the Pinecrest/Grove/Gables/South Miami areas in the MLS right now. It's nice to see this activity in our market again! To learn more, click HERE.*

See to It
My five-year-old son has recently been complaining of objects looking small to him. For example, I'll be standing a couple of feet of him and he'll say my head looks really little. His doctor initially said it had to do with the persistent fluid in his ears causing visual spatial issues, but he recently had tubes put in his ears and his problems persist. I'm concerned there might be something else going on. I've read about a condition known as Micropsia. Have you had a child with this? If so, I'd love to learn more about it. I'd also welcome suggestions for pediatric neurologists and pediatric ophthalmologists. Thank you in advance.
