Doesn't she look smart?

I've suspected for a while now that Bree has needed glasses. She is doing great in kindergarten, but she often squints or has to move her face really close to the book or computer screen. And since Chad and I both have had glasses since childhood, we weren't too surprised that Bree needed them too.



I was so nervous for her as the eye doctor was narrowing down her prescription. I know when I'm sitting in that exam chair I feel like I'm under huge pressure, trying to decide if "one" or "two" looks better, because heaven forbid I screw it up and end up with an incorrect prescription for the next year or two. But Bree did great, and the doctor was impressed. Bree's prescription isn't too severe, but she also has an astigmatism that has made it harder for her to see.

There wasn't a huge selection of frames to choose from, but I was relieved that she really liked these little red sassy ones. Her new glasses arrived Friday, and she's been wearing them from morning 'til night without complaint, so I'm thinking she's enjoying being able to see. Everyone we've seen since has showered her with compliments on her glasses, enough to ensure that her confidence in her appearance won't suffer. Not that I was worried too much there.

You are absolutely adorable, Bree.
All the teenagers are buying fake glasses just to look cool. I see them everyday at work. They all asked Santa for them. REALLY!
You are a fashion setter!

She's beautiful. Tell her glasses are the best. I got 'em when I was in 3rd grade when my mom realized I couldn't see the hymn numbers in sacrament meeting.
