new glasses

i am home for about a day and decide to waste some time, have some fun, and go crazy by going with my sister to get jonas his first pair of glasses. we thought he might have a lazy eye or something, because he tends to look a little crosseyed at times, but it turns out he is farsighted. the little guy focuses too hard on objects close to him so his eye goes crossed. i am glad i finally know the difference between nearsighted and farsighted. even as a non-glasses-wearer, you would think i would know the difference after 27+ years.

side note. pediatric optometrists (is that what they are called?) must have pretty hard jobs.

anyway, fitting a less than two year old for glasses was an experience, i will tell you. and not for the reason you think, jonas is really well behaved and was very good for the optician. but choosing the pair of glasses that will be in all of the pictures of this kid for his most adorable years is a daunting task.

do you go retro and get the black rims for the punk look?

do you get something small that will fade into his face?

do the round frames make him look too much like little harry potter?

etc. etc. etc. anyway, here is a look at the cutest future engineer out there…
