Nathaniel finally got his glasses!
The eye clinic called Friday morning after the kids had left for school and told us that Nathaniel's glasses had come in. Excited, we swung by and picked them up as we were out running errands so as to have them for Nathaniel when he got home. "Nathaniel, guess what came today," Matthew teased as Nathaniel came in the door. A huge grin spread across his face. He knew exactly what Matthew was talking about.
I wrote several words on our little chalkboard using larger letters along the bottom and smaller letters in the words towards the top and then had Nathaniel stand back about 10 feet and read the words to me. He could read the bottom 3 words, but by the time he reached the 4th word the letters were too small for him to read. It was then that I placed his new specs upon the bridge of his nose. "Dad, these really help!" he exclaimed!
The doctor told him he only needed to wear them while at school and that whether or not he wanted to use them at home would be up to him. So we bought him a hard case to keep them in while they were at home. The case hasn't been used yet as he hasn't taken his glasses off except to go to sleep! WE think he likes them.
