Glasses



I took the kids to the eye Dr. yesterday. We go monthly for Hailey's checkup, and this time he said that he saw a little bit of improvement. I'll take that! While we were there we had Christopher's eyes checked for the first time. I was so upset when we got the results. His eye sight is terrible, and he will need glasses. I was upset because I felt like I had failed him in some way. The battle with Hailey's eyes has been a great undertaking and I did not want to see that repeated with Christopher. i was also overwhelmed by the thought of trying to get him to take care of glasses.

After I regained my composer I began to think of ways to get him to take care of them. Better yet, to wear them. That's when I began to think about myself. I to am supposed to wear glasses. my kids have probably only seen me wear them five times in the past year. I also have a tendency to just leave them lying around. I decided that if I want him to learn to care for his glasses I need to be that example. I have been wearing my glasses all day today. The most amazing this happened, I realized that I can see!

I love how you ended this on such a positive.
But you've made me remember it's 2 years since the eye doc said to bring our daughter back in 8-10 months that she may need glasses - he was meant to send us a reminder letter! must book that appointment
