When we first went to look at glasses I wanted to cry. All the ones small enough for her were so awful. They were just big and really round (why are baby glasses all super round?! They have super round faces! It's not a flattering look!) and in pale pink. They looked horrible on her. I wanted her to have cute glasses! So then we looked online and couldn't find anything better. I was bummed.
Last week we were down in Indy for a cardiology appointment (she's doing fine, by the way) and so I had looked up a pediatric ophthalmologist in Indy and it turned out they had an in-house optics store. So we stopped by there. They had better options. And she said she could take regular plastic temples and bend them to go around the ear to keep them on. The place here in town hadn't suggested that option. They just told us to go with cable temples, and that was much more limiting! So then we found her some cute frames.
Today we were down in Indy again for a neurology appointment (doing well there too) and luckily her glasses were ready to be picked up. She seems to like them. It's been fun watching her with them. She's just looking at everything. She hasn't messed with them much either. I suppose she likes having them on and finally being able to see!


I took this picture for Karin so she could see that there are sparkles on her glasses. I knew she'd be happy that Silje finally has some bling!
