There is not much about Athan's experience that I can voluntarily adopt, but this one I can. Athan has been reluctant to keep his glasses on for long stretches, but we've discovered that he will keep glasses on his face if I have glasses on mine. SO.... I got "glasses." After a short trial run with some borrowed frames, I realized that the tactic worked and I needed something more permanent. I don't need any prescription, so reading glasses were out, as was borrowing Ryan's glasses (headache!). I eliminated the $$$$ options immediately, and finally found some $10 kids frames at the Vision Center in Wal-Mart. I just left in the plastic demo lenses. If I ever actually need glasses, I probably won't choose purple again! But for now, and for $10, and to help Athan, here's where I landed. And so far this morning, he hasn't taken his glasses off yet. :) I'm willing to look THAT dorky for a bit until he doesn't need it anymore. Ah, parenting - sucks the cool right out of you...
Yes, I was cooler once.
Was too!!
Shut up.

I kinda like the glasses.
you pull off the glasses look well! and your hair is getting so long too - pretty pretty.
lol...you look way different to me with glasses. I think it is really "cool" that this is helpful and that you are willing to do it even if you don't look as "cool"
You are the coolest mommy in the world ... Glasses or not...
Okay...maybe you were cooler once and now you are definately a cool mom, but once Morgan gets to be a teenager...sorry to say...you will definately no longer be cool, so enjoy it while you can! :)
