Guess who got Glasses?

After several days of excessive blinking, I took Eva to the eye doctor and low and behold she needed glasses. To prepare her for that possibility, I said, "if you have to have glasses, you'll be like Lila (a friend at school) and (cousins) Sarah and Susannah." To that she said, "I'll be like you, Mom." And so she is. Before we went to get the glasses yesterday afternoon, she said she wanted "rainbow" frames. I was thinking that would at least be better than Spiderman frames. Alas, my fears were allayed; Lenscrafters did not have either rainbow or superhero frames. She did try on nearly every children's frame, however.

Once the glasses were ready, she spent quite a bit of time peering through the glasses and then lifting them up to compare the blurry world to the clear world. Ahhhh. She's done a great job with wearing them so far. And today she even said, "sometimes I forget I even have them on." She really likes to use the spray cleanser and special cloth. I know most of us are looking for good investments these days -- I'd recommend Lenscrafters stock just for the cloths and spray we will be purchasing, not to mention the inevitable replacement glasses (actually, I bought two pairs already!).
