Last week during our routine eye exams, Jesse's first, I was informed that Jesse has a lazy eye. This news was new, but not really shocking. I had noticed something unusual about his eyes from time to time, but never had/ took the time to figure out what it was.
These are Jesse's new glasses. He is THRILLED, for real. He'd been asking all summer, "When am I going to get glasses." I told him we were only getting our eyes checked and most likely he would not get glasses. (All the kids, except Delphia, have had an identical astigmatism at first checks, but haven't needed glasses until 1st grade)
So any way, Jesse got his wish! In theory the corrective lenses should strengthen the weaker eye. He will get them checked again in 6 months to see how things are progressing.
So now these glasses are added to the cowboy boots on the list of things "distinctly Jesse".
The really funny part was that when we were trying on frames these were the first he tried on. As he checked himself out in the mirror he said," PERFECT!!" From that point on each frame was either PERFECT!!! or NOT PERFECT!!!

My youngest, Daniel, has Amblyopia (Lazy eye) as well as Strabismus (which causes his eyes to cross, should he not wear his glasses.) WE have to patch the good eye for a few hours every day, and we've been doing that for two years now.
Daniel LOVES his glasses too. We just picked up his new ones last night-- because he lost his glasses in the Atlantic Ocean a few weeks ago... oy, and he was sad that his teacher didn't notice his new frames. LOL
he looks good in glass :) i remember thinking i wanted to get glasses with clear lenses. my vision was perfect but i wanted to look cool.
only my vision wasn't perfect, i just didn't realize i couldn't see! (I now think it "looks cool" to wear contacts :P)
