Our Cute Little Bat...

Well, the much anticipated day came yesterday. We received the call from Excell Eye Center that Nora's glasses had arrived. Funny, the day before, Nora had found her giraffe sunglasses in a drawer and brought them to me to put on her. She would walk around laughing at how things looked through the sunglasses for a few minutes and then take them off. Maybe she knew and was just getting ready. She seems to always be like that. We went to the doctor's office, and he fitted her with her first pair of very thick glasses. She didn't want to keep them on at all, but once we got outside, she would keep them on for about 5 minutes tops. That's 4.5 minutes longer than the sunglasses ever stayed on. She was definitely seeing something different. That was basically the story the rest of the day. Dad made it a game. If she wanted to play with the glasses case, which she did, the glasses had to stay on. Once they came off, the case and toys went away also. Of course she got tired, probably had a headache from the glasses, and went to sleep after a good dose of Tylenol.
Today, however, she kept them on no problem through two different sitters and all evening. She likes them and doesn't like them to be off anymore. How quickly we adapt to a new environment, especially when we're little and we don't know any different.
