Four Eyes

As of tomorrow Stellan will officially be a four eyes. He saw the opthamologist today who determined that he does indeed need glasses. As Dr. Wasserman (amazing doctor!) put it, he has significant vision loss. His eye is healthy but he just simply can't see too well. Now my three year old has to wear glasses full time.

I have to say, Stellan was such a trooper throughout the entire procedure. Even the doctor (did I mention that he is amazing?) commented on how wonderful Stellan was. I was so proud...sniff sniff. Stellan didn't love the drops but put up with them anyway without complaint. Boy did his pupils ever get big! He wondered why it was so sunny outside...yet it was a cloudy day. Poor munchkin.

This afternoon we headed over to Lens Crafters to pick out some frames. I'll admit, he looked so cute in whatever pair he chose, even the plastic red round frames. He liked those best but I just couldn't do it, he needed more subtle frames. We ended up getting a little gold frame that looks just adorable on his face. (I'll post pictures tomorrow after we pick up the frames.) He can't wait to wear them. I can't wait to see his expression when he can actually see things like leaves on trees, features on faces, etc. Poor little angel.

We have a problem though, now Jameson wants glasses. "Mommy, my eyes hurt, I need glasses." Uh, sure. I let him try them on in the store and he picked out a pair in less than five minutes (Stellan took almost an hour). He looked so cute but he just doesn't need them and doesn't get why he can't have a pair like his brother. At what point will he be thankful that he can actually see just fine? We always want what we can't have, go figure.
