After reading the comments on the poll about how long it takes kids to leave their glasses on, it sounds like people were interested in whether the prescription strength makes a difference in how well a child takes to glasses. So I’ve decided to put together a huge survey of experiences of young children inContinue reading “Speaking of polls…”

Four big years of Little Four Eyes!
This month will be the four year anniversary of Little Four Eyes. It’s been a great four years. I was reading through some of the early stories and posts, and found it comforting to know that so many of our experiences are shared. I started this site because I felt alone when Zoe first gotContinue reading “Four big years of Little Four Eyes!”
New page: blogs about children’s vision
I think blogs can be a fantastic way of sharing our struggles, and finding others that are going through similar journeys. I had originally kept a list of blogs on the main resources page, but there are so many great blogs out there now that I wanted to give them their own page. So I’veContinue reading “New page: blogs about children’s vision”
updates to the photo gallery and the books page
I was terribly behind on the photo gallery updates, but I just added 15 (!) picture of some extremely cute kids in glasses! Check them out! I’ve also re-organized the books page. I’ve added a section for books about patching, and I’ve put some links to help navigate the page more easily. I would loveContinue reading “updates to the photo gallery and the books page”
Facebook group change
The Little Four Eyes facebook group was recently changed to the new group format. I’m going to come right out and say that I had been resisting changing the format, because I thought the group was working well the way it was. I was wrong, very wrong. The group has really taken off and isContinue reading “Facebook group change”
13 (!) new photos in the gallery
Just did a massive catch-up on photos and added 13 new pictures to the photo gallery, and we now have over a hundred photos! Take a look! As always, let me know (ann@shinypebble.com) if you’ve sent me a photo that I somehow missed.
Getting the word out
(this post was originally meant as a Monday morning link round up. Life happened, and now it is neither Monday, nor is it morning. So while I was at it, I dropped the link round up part, too, as I think it stands on its own as a regular post). It’s likely that if you’reContinue reading “Getting the word out”
open thread – introductions
It’s been a while since we’ve had an introductions thread and I love learning more about who you all are, so this seems like an easy way to celebrate our 3 year blog-birthday. Leave a comment introducing about yourself and your kid(s) in glasses. If you feel like leaving more, I’d love to hear theContinue reading “open thread – introductions”
Couple of things : coloring pages and photo contest
Two quick things to share with you all. First, Amomofelly sent me three more coloring pages! They’re very sweet. I’ve put them up on the Gear page, check them out. As I mentioned in my previous post, I’d love to have some of these pages after they’ve been colored. Send photos or scans to meContinue reading “Couple of things : coloring pages and photo contest”
Help Little Four Eyes celebrate our 3rd Birthday!
March 15, 2011 will be the 3rd birthday of Little Four Eyes! It feels a little like a birthday of one of my kids, amazing that it’s been that long, and at the same time surprising that it’s only been 3 years. I do love this community and all the support and help and storiesContinue reading “Help Little Four Eyes celebrate our 3rd Birthday!”
meet ups?
There was a post on the Little Four Eyes facebook group asking if anyone in the north Los Angeles area would be interested in having a get together. She’s asked that people message her privately on facebook if they’re interested. I would be happy to try to help facilitate communication for other get togethers ifContinue reading “meet ups?”
2 years
Today is Little Four Eyes’ 2 year birthday! It’s crazy to look back over those first posts when I had no idea if there was anyone else out there going through the same things, if anyone would read and share their wisdom. That first month in 2008, we got just under 300 views, now weContinue reading “2 years”
call for posts; call for votes
A couple of quick things. We’re trying to get our house ready to put on the market (we’re just moving within the same city, not across country), so I finding I have less time to write for the next few weeks. I’m also finding about a thousand of those lens cleaning cloths, but that’s aContinue reading “call for posts; call for votes”
Monday round up – October 26, 2009
Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these… Pictures – Amblyopia Kids has a post about her daughter’s preschool pictures. When her daughter got out of school that day, she said that the photographer took her glasses off for the picture. Do you have pictures taken of your child with orContinue reading “Monday round up – October 26, 2009”
spotlight on Little Four Eyes
Julia Kelly at BlogCatalog wrote a very nice spotlight on Little Four Eyes, which includes an interview with me. I’ve enjoyed interviewing other people for this blog, so it was fun to be on the other side and get a chance to talk about Little Four Eyes, and especially how much you all meanContinue reading “spotlight on Little Four Eyes”
