FAILED - That is what was on the top of the vision exam form that was sent home from school. We kinda had a feeling that he might have a slight problem seeing things far away. It wasn't until Jim took him to the opthamologist that we realized just how bad it was. He wasn't seeing much and what he did see was very blurry. He defiantly needed glasses and would always have to wear them.

He got to pick out his frames which had a red pin stripe on the side. He calls them his race car glasses. Even with thinning the lenses out, they are still pretty thick. We wonder what if anything he even saw before. Disney, Monster Jam, airplanes in the sky and zoo trips must have been a struggle for him. He told me " Mama I could never see the lions or the bear or the little monkeys. And when you tell me there is an airplane in the sky, I can't see that either." I Just wanted to cry. I guess if that's the vision you have always had, then you don't know any better.

So during the weeks it took for the glasses to come in, we were trying to get him excited about wearing them. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought glasses for his stuffed animals so they could see too. We thought he would fight us with wearing them, but he hasn't given us one problem. It must be such a difference for him that he actually likes them.
