 I noticed Aleah about a month ago would cross one eye everyonce inawhile 
and then she would stop doing it on her own. Within the last week she does 
it daily, and at differant times. Ive noticed that one eye will cross in 
toward her nose and she doesnt usually act like its a big deal.

 Get Aleah's vision tested. Go to an ophthalmologist (an actual doctor with 
a medical degree) and not an optometrist, just my personal feeling.

Alex was dxed with strabismus back when he was 8 or so. Glasses were used 
and they helped.

Approx 1-2 years ago we noticed that the wandering eye was getting worse. It 
is especially bad when he's sick or tired. If we tell Alex to focus his eyes 
he can generally bring it back into line for a short time.

Last vision check the dr said that as long as it didn't bother Alex nor his 
vision it was fine but that if we decided to surgery was an option.

Alex also has minimal depth perception.
