Another Pair of Pollies. . .

This pair is for Tessa:

I have been suspicious for a while that little Tess might need glasses.

I ho hummed and procrastinated because glasses is how Greta gets attention in Tessa's shadow. (Poor little thing gets very offended if people fuss over Tessa and don't notice her.)

I also delayed because the thought of that bundle of energy in glasses gave me a headache.

But need won out over my (il)logic.

Her prescription is very strong: +6 in one eye; +7 in the other. It's not quite as strong as Greta's prescription and she does not have Strabismus, but still oh so necessary.

Since she is so small, cute trendy glasses are out of the question. She is in the exact same size as Greta, only the temples are not shortened.

So it is. Another one in glasses. (it is genetic, in case you were wondering :)

How have things been?

Good and bad.

Bad:

She pulls them off WAY too often. And since Greta is in the copycat stage, Greta suddenly has this problem too. (she can't put her own back on and she bends hers out of shape when she yanks them off)

Trips to Moran for adjustments have doubled.

I'm still grieving her cute little non-glasses look.

Good:

In public places she is quite a bit calmer and doesn't run here and there and everywhere.

She eats. Now she stays put until a meal is finished instead of all of the other horrible things she used to do at meal time.

She stays back from the TV, mostly.

She reports that I am not blurry any more. Nor are blogs. Or books. Or food. Or signs. She can focus on birds in flight and other moving things in a distance now.

The bottom line is all good!
