New Glasses

At Dylan's annual check-up, he had a hard time with the basic eye screening so I took him to an Optometrist. We found out (sadly) that Dylan has significant eye sight problems and probably has had since birth. As a result, Dylan has been inducted into the "Glasses Club". He said to me "Mom! Now we're a glasses family!" I guess so.


After the exam we went to chick-fil-a to play. Dylan insisted on wearing the little disposable sunglasses that you get when they dilate your eyes. Dylan told the kid he was playing with "I just found out that I'm blind! I have to wear these glasses forever now." To which the kid replied "HOLY COW! I've never known a blind kid before!"
When we went to pick out frames some of the funnier declarations Dylan made were "Too up and down." "Too squarish." "Too roundie." and my favorite "AAAAARG! I LOOK LIKE LARRY KING!" which made everyone there laugh. (Owen surmised that Dylan knows what Larry King looks like from his appearances on various PBS kid shows.)


When we walked out of the Eyeglass shop Dylan said "WHOA! Everything looks so weird!"

  5. Oh Becky those glasses look really good on him. Be glad he is 5 and not 1 like Dante was when he first got glasses. Good luck with him not breaking them too soon.
