could be a tic. not the bug. doesn't sound like an emergency as long as her behavior is normal. if it were me, i'd let her pediatrician determine if she needs to see a pediatric neurologist , only if it doesn't clear up after her parents return. this could just be a nervous twitch because she misses her mom and dad. it may be too difficult for her to articulate what she's feeling.

maybe shes just experimenting with her blinks and vision, lol i dont think its much to worry about, unless she starts rubbing her eyes and they get red or if she seems discomforted, but she seems fine :)

doesnt everyone blink? maybe if she is blinking alot they are just irritating her.

Are her eyes pink & crusty? Could be pink eye...........
Otherwise, she'll need an eye exam soon...maybe she can't see as well as she used to and may need glasses. Good Luck.

no. shes just having fun blinking.. what kids do. she just realizing like cutting the light on and off.

She might have something in one of them that you can't see, but if she doesn't seem to be in any discomfort, or her eyes aren't red...she is probably fine. I would call her parent's and see what they want you to do.

Perhaps her eyes are dry, or she has a cold or allergy to something if she doesn't seem to be doing it just for fun.
