Glasses and Paul 
You were actually happy to have your glasses because you could see so much better. I think it was a few years later that they became a "yoke around your neck," shall we say. The glasses back then were really large (not the cute, tiny ones like Audrey has, so maybe that had something to do with not liking them. I was determined to let you get contacts when you were fourteen and in high school. Then when you conveniently(?) broke your glasses when you had just turned 12 and at your first summer camp, you insisted that it was silly to get another pair of glasses when you could just get contacts then. We balked some but finally went along and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. You loved the contacts and never had a minute's trouble getting used to or taking care of them. Audrey seems genuinely excited with her glasses and I'm so glad she can see better now. MOM

I, too, remember wanting glasses so badly! Now of course needing tem, find it annoying. Such is life...good luck Audrey. Enjoy them while it's new.

I remenmber as a kid getting excited about having glasses but after a while I refused to wear them. Oh how things change! Audrey looks nice in glasses!

she looks really cute. i think all kids think glasses would be so cool to have. i remember being jealous that janeen had them and i didn't. now i am glad that i don't need them cause i still don't think i could put contacts on my eyes.

Ivy has glasses for reading the board at school. She is supposed to wear them while reading too. The coolness has worn off for her, she rarely wears them now.

That's cute that Audrey was excited to get her new glasses. Maybe there is hope and she won't be as blind as her mommy (or as I am too!).

I got my first pair of glasses in 3rd grade. I'm hoping our kids have Chad's perfect vision. Audrey looks great in hers though and I hope she continues to enjoy them!

I just took Jordan to the eye doc again cause he was complaining of blurry things and his teacher mentioned he might need them. Luckily he didnt but he was SO upset...still is. I find it interesting how they want them SO badly!
