ooooh! And in other randomness? Grace got her glasses today. The nurses were really worried about how she would respond as girl HATES any change. So they had to hold her hands when her glasses went on. But then she left them on. I think her vision really was a problem because she seemed to be okay with them on, which seems to indicate that seeing is really exciting. In fact she fell asleep with them still on her face.

That's awesome! I was shocked at how well Owen took to his, too. Kids are funny.

Well, I'm also willing to say that maybe this is short-lived. They have the fed-ex envelope all ready and addressed for glasses repairs because they didn't get the rubbery glasses frames, but actual frames frames.

Because books.
I'm beginning to wonder if I need to have Sara tested for reading glasses. She's holding books and papers really close when we're doing reading homework.

Which is smart. Owen's had his lenses replaced once already due to a heavy scratch and I've taken him in at least three times for adjustments.
I considered buying two pair to start with just in case.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Rachel Maddow showed this video tonight, and she couldn't talk for laughing. I could hardly breathe I was laughing so hard. It's not political - it's a parrot. In love.
I love it! Poor kakapo. "WHERE ARE THE LADIES!? WHO HAS TAKEN ALL THE LADIES? IS YOUR HEAD A LADY?"

“Not dead yet!”
Oh dear. In love, indeed. He did look happy, too!
That's what had me howling. He looked so ecstatic. And then Stephen calmly providing the play-by-play.

I'm just so happy Miss Gracie got glasses!

yay for Grace's glasses. That seems like it took an inordinate amount of time.

It did take forever, which is partially attributable to Grace's general noncompliance as a patient. She threw a fit with optometrist #1 and they felt like they needed to get someone else do do another eye exam.
I'm contemplating buying her a pair of these: [link] which might survive her treating them as toddler's are wont to do better than her current frames.
