I was recently invited to write a guest post for What to Expect‘s “Word of Mom” blog, and in a move surprising no one, I decided to write about having a young child in glasses.  It was a good exercise: to look back and write up the story of learning the Zoe needed glasses, especially now that we’re more then 5 years past that point and have the perspective that comes with time, knowing that she would eventually love her glasses, and that she’d do so well with them.

first day of glasses.

first day of first grade.
