In mid-August, the girls had their yearly check-up and Susie didn’t pass her eye exam. I didn’t think too much of it, because both girls actually flunked their eye exams a few years ago, and a subsequent examination by an optometrist found their eyesight to be perfect, so I figured they were a little too eager to try on glasses. But I made an appointment at an eye doctor anyway, and I was surprised when the doctor confirmed Susie did indeed need glasses! As soon as she stepped out of the office with her new glasses (graduated bifocals for long-distance assistance), she gasped and said, “Look how beautiful the leaves on the trees are!” and she started reading far away road signs with glee. I guess the kid’s sight had been fuzzy for a while – oops!
She’s done a great job with taking care of her glasses, and I have to say I think she looks so grown-up and adorable in them. She was always a bookworm – now she looks the part!
Oh, and the other kids enjoyed the trips to the eye doctor as well! 🙂
