Glasses?

Well, it was inevitable! Nathan is going to need glasses. Hey, I am just stoked that it took till 3rd grade and not Kinder like me or 1st like Dan. The teacher must have requested that his eyes get checked because he had a special eye exam at school today- and yes, he failed the long distance portion of the exam. "Mom, the nurse put the paper on the other side of the room and the letters looked liked dots."

Looking back I can see evidence that he wasn't seeing as well as he should be, but I am glad we are getting it taken care of now. Unfortunately the earliest eye appointment is in two weeks.

Tonight Dan and Nathan were watching an old anime cartoon called "Robotech" and Dan let Nathan borrow his extra pair of glasses- and they helped!! Lately when he is watching a show on the weekends, he is always sitting up close- duh, it didn't dawn on me that he couldn't see. I would just keep telling him to move back- poor kid!
He is excited to get the glasses and nervous too. I think he will be able to stay on task EVEN better in class once he can see what is on the board clearly (and he already sits in the front row). Thank you Harry Potter for making glasses cool. I was teased so badly for having glasses, but now so many of our friends wear them and they are definitely hip now!!
