I Can See!!

Last fall, Emily brought a note home from school stating that she had failed the vision screening and should be taken in for an eye exam. She had just recently been to the doctor and passed their screening, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Over the course of the next several months, I began to notice that the child who reads everything she can didn't read things that were farther away. When I probed her on it, she would tell me she couldn't read it or it was too far away. So, I finally made an appointment and took her to the eye doctor. It only took the first row of shapes before it was obvious that she was going to need glasses. The doctor eventually explained that she was going to need glasses anyway because she had two nearsighted parents, but her constant reading had actually sped up the need for them. Who knew reading really is hazardous to your health!! She was a little nervous at first, but when they showed her all of the frame choices, she was in heaven. I bet she tried on 10-15 pairs before she found the ones that she liked. Then she was disappointed when she found out they had to order the lenses and she had to wait to get them. Every day for the next two weeks she asked if her glasses were ready. Finally, they arrived and this is the adorable result!
Who knew our cute girl could get even cuter with glasses on!
