So Alice is getting lots of blog attention this week! She deserves it I suppose! ;-) So, at her 6 yr old check up back in the fall- she didn't do so hot on her vision test. They found she had a stigmatism as well as some vision issues. Our pediatrician said to give it a few months in school and see how it went. After several notes home from her teacher saying headaches were arriving late in the day, we decided that she was squinting so much therefore bringing on the head pain. She has been begging me to make her an appt and I finally made one over the holidays. She went to the eye doctor (thanks for the referral Britt!) this past Monday and she was so excited?!?! After a menagerie of eye exams, eye photos, questions, etc Dr. Reid said that she needed glasses. I thought Alice was going to catapult out of the examining chair she was so excited! It was like Christmas all over again! We went next door and after a long drawn out process of trying on 'fancy' glasses she finally picked out some 'Guess' tortoise shell frames with purple sides (w/flowers of course) SHe is so thrilled with her new glasses. She really only needs them at school, doing homework, reading, etc but for now she wears them a lot! Her older sister is jealous and Alice just grins- loves it! ;-) Who knew glasses would make a little girl so happy!??!!?
