I just received the following in an email from Sarah Braunstein whose son, Asa (nearly 12 months) wears glasses: Many, many comments from strangers, and sometimes this is wearisome. People have no boundaries when it comes to babies! They positively gush over him, comment endlessly about how adorable he is in the glasses, how “smart”Continue reading “my new favorite response to the questions”

ordering glasses online
We’re starting to think about what we’ll do for Zoe’s next pair of glasses, especially if it turns out that she needs a new prescription. Even if she doesn’t, I expect that she’ll outgrow her glasses soon enough. Kids and their fast growing heads. Though I’m happy with Zoe’s glasses in terms of how theyContinue reading “ordering glasses online”
Oh, I can see!
Said Sam this morning when he put his glasses on. Heehee! I’m pretty sure that he has reached the point where he realizes that he sees better with them on and is happy to wear them. Yay! In fact, I think that big sisters are a little jealous of Sam being able to wear glassesContinue reading “Oh, I can see!”
scenes from a wedding
Apparently the bride and groom only invited kids with glasses. Other than Zoe, the only other kid at the wedding was a girl, probably about 6 or 7 (I’m horrible guessing ages), with super stylish purple Hanna Montana glasses. She was really shy when I complimented her on the frames, but they were really cute.Continue reading “scenes from a wedding”
A helping of mommy guilt
Sam’s preschool finished up their year this week with the little program they do. Each class gets up and sings for the parents and its all very cute. When we dropped him off at his classroom, his teachers gave us a little book they had made with pictures of him taken throughout the year. MyContinue reading “A helping of mommy guilt”
Lost kid and glasses
We have a fenced in yard and I’ve been ok allowing Sam outside for a few minutes without me. A few days ago, he wanted to go out back and play as soon as we got back from picking his sisters up from school. I sent him through the gate and then went in theContinue reading “Lost kid and glasses”
More Costco love
This morning we were heading to Costco to pick up a few things, when Zoe exclaimed “uh-oh!” in a bit of a concerned manner. There’s rarely anything good that comes accompanied by the concerned “uh-oh.” I looked back to see her holding her glasses in one hand, and the little plastic nose piece in theContinue reading “More Costco love”
Fingerprints and other things
We have yet to be able to teach Sam not to push his glasses up by putting his fingers on the lenses. The result is that they are pretty much always spotty, even 5 minutes after I’ve cleaned them. Last night, he pushed on them right after eating an ice cream sandwich. Result= two chocolateContinue reading “Fingerprints and other things”
Glasses “cleaning” update
Ann mentioned this in passing in her last post, but I thought it was cute enough to warrant a full description. Zoe no longer views me as the cleaner-of-glasses. She formerly would hand me her glasses for cleaning, then gather up everyone else’s glasses and bring them to me for cleaning. Not anymore – nowContinue reading “Glasses “cleaning” update”
Weren’t we just here?
The eyeglasses store is rapidly becoming one of our most frequent trips. Between adjustments, prescription changes, and scratched lens replacements, I think I visit the place as often as I visit to Target. I did a quick count and came up with at least 8 trips since the start of 2008. Luckily, they have aContinue reading “Weren’t we just here?”
Don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone
Earlier this week, while we were on a walk, Zoe pulled off her glasses and threw them out of the stroller. Neither Chris nor I noticed until we’d gotten home. At which point, both of us saw her without her glasses and asked the other if they had them. Cue ominous music and that badContinue reading “Don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone”
Depictions of glasses
At Zoe’s daycare, they decorate the different rooms with cut-outs and pictures for each kid (for instance, last summer, they made construction paper picnic items, and put one kid’s name on each item – Zoe’s name was on the hot dogs, I think). Every few months they change the theme of the decoration and weContinue reading “Depictions of glasses”
Reactions from other people
Honestly, pretty much everyone that has commented on Sam’s glasses think they are really cute. I’ll admit, I’ve come to think so, too. And in just a week and a half, I’ve come to think he looks better with them on than off. His sisters, especially Ellie, have had to be told to keep theirContinue reading “Reactions from other people”
Keeping the glasses on
For the most part, now that she’s used to her glasses, Zoe is great at leaving them on. She takes them off when she sees Chris cleaning his glasses, and hands him hers to get cleaned as well. Then she’ll take my glasses off and hand them to him. She’s big on glasses cleanliness, IContinue reading “Keeping the glasses on”
Sam’s story
Hello all! I’m Amanda, Sam’s mom (as you can see from my uninspired username. lol) I’ll just jump right in and tell how Sam came to wear glasses. He’s 2.5 yrs old and looks like a little professor with his glasses on. We started noticing a few months ago that he was squinting at theContinue reading “Sam’s story”
