cute little four eyes

you may have noticed in my last post that Brielle is wearing glasses... Yes, my not even 1 year old baby girl needs to wear glasses. This is something that I have kind of deep feelings about. Why such deep feelings about glasses? Well, I myself had to wear glasses at a young age- I clearly remember getting my glasses- I was so proud of them and I loved wearing them. I remember I even had a pair of snoopy glasses that I thought were so super cool! Until I heard a lady telling my mom that I would be so cute if it weren't for those glasses. I was devastated! My beautiful new glasses made me NOT CUTE?! After that I didn't really love them quite so much. When I finally got contacts at 11 years old it was a whole new world for me! I finally felt like my glasses didn't define who I was. Now my sweet baby girl is going to go through the same experiences as I did. And the funny thing is I think her glasses make her even cuter to me!

  2. How do you know that a baby that young needs glasses?! I can't imagine our Brielle keeping them on for 2 seconds either! She looks sweet tho and you can be sure to tell her often how cute they are so she won't feel bad like you did:)

  3. One of her eyes was lazy- they call it amblyopia- so we took her to a pediatric eye doctor. they used lenses in front of her eyes and tracked the way she looked at things and they also did the yucky drops that dialate her eyes. She;s far sighted and one eye is stronger than the other. She's slowly getting better about keeping them on... as long as she's being distracted by something!

  5. This is Missy.S...I think she is adorable in her glasses! My Cody had to get glasses at 3 so yeah, I kinda know where you're coming from. I think he's cute...but some of his cousins were scared of him at first and he'd come crying to me.Since I homeschool he's not had to be called 4 eyes to much.
