Glasses

Last week Drew came home with a note from school. They had done vision tests and they said his vision was 20/100 in both eyes! I found that hard to believe, but it spurred me to take both kids to have their vision tested. At Ava’s 4-year check up they said she should have her eyes checked too, but I never did it, mostly because I didn’t know where to take her. So I made appointments for them at Costco and took them in. To my complete surprise, it turns out that Drew needs glasses. He is far-sighted. I feel so bad that I had no idea! The doctor said that if we don’t get him glasses, he’ll start having headaches—something he has been complaining about lately. It should help him with his schoolwork as well. He often has trouble getting started on his work—maybe it’s because it’s hard for him to see! Ava’s vision is not great either, but she is near-sighted. Just another example of how my children are total opposites! She doesn’t need glasses yet, but we will have her checked again next year. I think Drew looks pretty handsome in his new glasses…
