Glasses!

This summer Peter and his mom thought we should take Nate to the eye doctor because he had a hard time focusing on things that were far away. And Peter had a 10+ year old prescription that he figured should be updated, so I figured we might as well send them both to my eye doctor. Well, turns out Nate is actually a little far-sighted! So the doctor suggested that he gets some glasses to wear when reading, playing video games, etc. He's not so far sighted that he needs to wear them all the time, but enough that we want to take this route and hopefully he will grow out of it in the next couple years.

He's such a big boy now! And so excited about his new glasses! He really wanted the round ones (I think because the characters in all of the books that he reads wear round glasses) but they were either too small or too big. So we got him excited to choose his color. He loved the red! And he actually does a pretty good job of wearing them when he is supposed to.

Peter also got a new prescription. The doctor just told him to wear them all the time for the first few weeks and then he cold wear them until he got a little more used to them. I don't think he's there quite yet, but he's doing pretty well. He was kind of upset because he had been the only one of his siblings that didn't have to wear glasses. Not anymore - I guess this is what getting older looks like!

Newbies - they don't look at all alike, do they?

 So now we all wear glasses! Well, except Mia, and we will just keep our fingers crossed about her!
