Back We Go To the Optometrist!

The Girlie started with some purple frames but hey were huge on her face. She really liked them though. And then the nice lady helping us popped these smaller ones on her noggin and she was sure, "These are the ones, Mom. I like these!" She is just so thrilled with this whole process!
The Poddest of Pods also initially picked out some very huge, very Harry Potter frames. And again, The Nice Lady to the rescue. She suggested these and he was sold. I hope he still thinks they're as cool when he has to wear them all of the time.

So the specifics...I didn't get them. The gal says both kids need correction for distance. Something about astigmatism. But she only had the prescriptions in front of her and didn't know how to interpret them to say how good or bad their vision is. So, tomorrow I will go pick up their actual records and see if I can get someone in the office to decipher it for me!

Now, Jack doesn't go see the specialist until June 15th, but there were some ridiculously tiny glasses sitting there, so I popped them on his noggin for a picture! And you know he immediately moved! I have to say this is still just the cutest thing I've seen in a while!
Even as bitsy as those frames were, they still dwarfed his little face! I asked about devices to keep glasses on a baby and The Nice Lady handed me a pair of doll sized glasses, made by Fisher-Price, with ear loops, and informed me that I'd have to pay for those out of pocket. Doesn't it figure? Ah well. Jack looked darling in those too, and they fit his face, but you know he pulled them right off for a closer look! Dang. No picture!

Now the bad news, at least for The Girlie. It takes 4-6 weeks for delivery of the glasses. She was bummed, but I told her I'd print a picture for her to show her friends and she was happy with that!
