I can SEE....

I took Alley to get her first checkup from the eye doctor! I figured it was time since she is in Kindergarten. But, I never really thought she would need glasses!
Alley is Farsided & she has an Astigmatism. So, she can't see things up close and the Astigmatism make things blurry anyway. So, Wow! My little girl needs glasses. Dr. Brotherson said she needs to wear them the whole time she is in class and she can take them off when she is playing outiside, but that she may just want to wear them ALL the time because she'll see SO Much Better!! Ashlyn thinks she needs to wear glasses now too, so she always puts on her sunglasses =) Alley is very proud of her pink case! Alley wore her glasses for the first time to school on Tuesday! Her teacher said she did so good and that she was very careful to put them in the case before she went out to recess. She also said that usually Alley would sit way up close when they are copying things from the board and this time she was sitting far away and finished so fast and held her paper up and yelled out "look Mrs. Mickelson, I'm already finished." She was so proud!! Alley is doing so good and I can tell she can see so much better with them on, she'd much rather have them on all the time then go with out them! She was a little nervous that the kids would laugh at her because she looks different with her glasses on =( But, we told her it doesn't matter because we think she looks cute and the most important thing is that she can see so much better now! I also recently got new glasses. My eyes have gone down a step with each kid =( I've had reading glasses since I was 5 (they had little strawberries on the side...haha, cute, cute) & I also have an Astigmatism. I have never been good about wearing my reading glasses =( but now that my eyes keep getting worse I love my glasses, especially when driving at night... scary!! Anyway, so Artie says it's my fault that Alley needs glasses, because I had glasses when I was 5 and I have an Astigmatism =) (Just for the record...he is way Blinder than me) So there! =)

she looks so cute in them. Ryzer hides his glasses when he is done wearing them, I had to buy two pairs for when he hides one...I have another one :)

She looks so cute!
Jason has had them for 2 years now and if he isn't wearing them he just doesn't look the same :) I'm so used to him with glasses now.
He used to be worried about what other kids would think but not anymore...they're just a part of him.

Awwwww...Alley looks so cute:) It's great she can see better. Jarron had glasses when he was in Kindergarten hopefully she won't break them as much as he did his:(

Ok she looks so cute!! I was the same kind of sad when Lincoln got his, but they grow on you-I have a hard time remembering him without them now!
