It always amazes me with how many children are in glasses, how few characters are in glasses and how, I feel, glasses on kids are under-represented in books and magazines. I think children in glasses are beautiful and would love to have them see that message from the media. Thankfully, more companies are getting on board! Continue reading “Characters with Glasses”

The Muppet Movie made me cry
This weekend, we had a family vacation to Disney World. Although I had no interest in going to Hollywood Studios, the Beauty and the Beast Musical was of interest to Elliana, so we went. It was fabulous, but what was even better was the 3D Muppet Movie. No, it hasn’t changed since we saw itContinue reading “The Muppet Movie made me cry”

Elly’s Princess Peepers Picks a Pet Contest Entry
After I read the contest to Elliana, she immidiately got out her water color paints and asked if I would draw her a “gigantic dragon” just like Princess Peepers has, so that she can act out the book and pretend to be Princess Peepers. How could I resist such a sweet request? So, of course,Continue reading “Elly’s Princess Peepers Picks a Pet Contest Entry”
Link round up – March 1, 2011
I’ve come across a pretty random assortment of links recently, on topics of vision therapy, cataracts, and a do-it-yourself iPhone app for vision testing. Questions for doctors – Stewart Snippets recently learned that her 2 year old son has lamellar cataracts. She wrote a wonderful list of questions for her son’s doctors. The questions areContinue reading “Link round up – March 1, 2011”
