I’m pretty used to people commenting on Zoe’s glasses, and it seemed like she was getting fewer comments, but then there’s always those days. This weekend we were out and about running errands, and I have no idea what it was, but we kept getting stopped by people who wanted to ask about her glasses,Continue reading “open thread – responses”

are they real?
First, apologies for not updating the site or answering emails this week, my grandmother passed away unexpectedly and we were with family. There should be a lot of updates and additions to the photo gallery coming in the next couple of days. I’ve noticed that recently we’ve gotten a lot more questions about whether Zoe’sContinue reading “are they real?”
Contacts
Zoe and I re-watched the Yo Gabba Gabba episode “Differences” that I’d written about before. Previously, I wrote that I was disappointed that Muno got glasses that episode (which has some great songs about wearing glasses), but then he never shows up in glasses again. Turns out I hadn’t watched the full episode. At theContinue reading “Contacts”
Pre-School
Hello! It’s been a long time since my last post here on Little Four Eyes, but I guess that’s a good thing because it means nothing new has happened with Franklin’s glasses. Neither pair of glasses has been in need of care in the past few months, we haven’t had any meaningful conversations about wearingContinue reading “Pre-School”
wait, what did you just say?
Yesterday morning as we were heading in to church, the usher looked at Zoe’s glasses and asked if they were Sarah Palin glasses. Wait, what? Umm, no? I was so thrown by the question that I just smiled awkwardly and hurried to a seat. I still have no idea what the point of the questionContinue reading “wait, what did you just say?”
Why Can’t We All Just Get ALONG???!
Many moons ago, (or so it seems!) in September of 2007, I had an appointment for my son Braden to get his eyes checked. Although my pediatrician insisted that Braden’s eyes were NOT turning, my gut told me differently. I made an appointment with an eye doctor on my own. Sure enough, Braden’s eyes didContinue reading “Why Can’t We All Just Get ALONG???!”
repsonses
Bit of of a random train of thought post today. Teagansmom’s comment on my last post (her #11 about wanting to scream the next time someone asks how you know they needed glasses) got me thinking about those responses we always hear from people about our kids’ glasses. Yesterday, Zoe and I were at theContinue reading “repsonses”
Well, that was just odd.
Tuesday was field day for my daughters’ kindy class (their class won 2 1st, 2 2nd and 3 3rds, btw), so Sam and I went to watch and cheer them on. We were on our way out when one of the custodians stopped me to ask about Sam’s glasses. That’s not so odd, although IContinue reading “Well, that was just odd.”
good news for kids with glasses
Found via Blogging Parent, who found this through Boing Boing. Apparently a recent study in the journal Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics has found that kids think that other kids who wear glasses are smarter and more honest, and that the glasses don’t affect their perceived appearance. The study was done on kids aged 6-10, soContinue reading “good news for kids with glasses”
