A Better Sight...

Our little man, Max, has a different view on things now.  Literally!  Max's eyes were tested back in February.  Benji and I noticed he was getting close to objects (iPad, iPod, papers, books) to see. After talking to our eye doctor, Dr Smith, he felt it was necessary to bring him in for an exam.  Of course, at 2 1/2 years old, it wasn't the easiest exam for him.  Tests showed Max needed glasses, but Dr Smith said he felt we could wait six months and re-run the tests.  August came, and we did it all over again (no "drop drops"-aka eye drops this time) and the results came back the exact same numbers.  

Then we got the joy of picking out a cute pair of eyes for Max.  His only request was something blue!  These specks are a pewter frame with green and blue on the sides.

Max LOVES his new glasses.  He asks for them first thing when he wakes up in the morning and at nap time.  He says he sees much better with glasses now!  

Thank goodness for parent intuition.  If we would've just listened to what others told us (just wait until he's in Kindergarten), the poor thing would have struggled seeing until then!
