Our first few glasses days were a struggle, but now that Brode is adjusted it seems easier than I was stressing about. At home Brode refused to put them on, pulling them off and throwing them every second we tried. I picked him up from day care Tuesday and both his teachers were so excited to tell me, "Brode kept his glasses on for 2 and 1/2 hours this afternoon!" We went home and he once again refused. This morning we tried multiple times and he yet again wanted nothing to do with them. My dad packed them up in his neon yellow case, took Brode to day care, took his coat off and handed him his glasses. Sure enough Brode put them on by himself and went over to the reading corner and grabbed a book. He clearly only liked them at day care to show off or something strange. Well today I picked him up and he still had them on and he wore them all the way until bed time! He even cried when they had to take them off for nap! I'm so excited and glad that he is starting to realize he can see a lot better with them on. He asks for them when you take them off and it didn't take long to learn the word "glasses".
Here are the pictures everyone has been waiting for after a million attempts:
What do you think?
They usually end up sitting pretty strange on his head and need to be re-adjusted so the pictures look a little goofy, but I still think he looks adorable. Our little professor.
We do have some questions about how he actually sees with them on that we have yet to clear up. I previously had no idea he couldn't see because he loved books, he could see small ants on the pavement, and he could identify familiar objects in the newspaper. Today he went over to his books, grabbed one and exclaimed "OH!! FISH!!" in his little high-pitched voice like he had never seen them before. It's reassuring to know that this can only help him excel in many areas!
