Please, try not to feel guilty (I'd say *don't* feel guilty, but I know you're a mom, so it's tough not to, when things are going on with your kids). I got my glasses in third grade, and I don't remember much of anything about how it was beforehand, to tell you the truth. (I'm 44 now, so I've been wearing them a looong time, lol!) I'm sure Jackson won't remember what it was like beforehand, either. <br /><br />You figured out what it was, and you fixed it- that's the important thing!! crimsoncat05https://www.blogger.com/profile/00857197135858767320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253954.post-69585207403446538342013-04-08T00:08:38.227-05:002013-04-08T00:08:38.227-05:00It's nice to know that I'm not the only on...It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's gone through this!

A good parent takes their kid to the eye doctor when the school nurse alerts them to the problem. Which category do you fall in again? Oh yes, the good parent category. Seriously, as a person who has needed glasses most of my life, the fact that my parents didn't know this right out of the gate doesn't bother me in the slightest (and I hold a pretty good grudge, thank you very much). You found out, you handled it and all is well. You will make many mistakes as a parent that you will feel badly about; this shouldn't be one of them. Just my two cents....<br />Oh, and when my mother was in first grade she came home from school and complained that she couldn't see. My grandmother rushed her to the eye doctor, who couldn't find anything wrong. My grandmother turned to my mother who finally told her that she couldn't see because the girl sitting in front of her had a gigantic bouffant hairdo that blocked her view! : - )Julie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13565067679190378779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253954.post-55368848853641762782013-04-03T21:17:01.605-05:002013-04-03T21:17:01.605-05:00My Mom went through the same thing with my brother...My Mom went through the same thing with my brother.

My sight was terrible, but I didn't know any different until I finally got glasses and I figured out there were actually blades of grass. I recently had an exam and my eyes have significantly gotten worse since my last appointment and I am loving my new glasses! There are so many corrective things these days with eyes, he will have full advantage of that as he gets older. So glad you were able to help him and share with us. wteagonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987708375972136241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253954.post-373390655405410152013-04-03T18:21:04.254-05:002013-04-03T18:21:04.254-05:00How cute he is with glasses, love that face of his...How cute he is with glasses, love that face of his. Hope you do a layout about this!<br /><br />Don't feel bad about it, when they are that young it's hard to know and they don't know to tell you yet. It's a whole new world out there for him to see now! I still remember getting mine in 6th grade and being amazed at the trees, signs and the down the halls in school. <br /><br />Could he get any cuter!!! dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763553809671436129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253954.post-73193164135734473762013-04-03T12:58:44.552-05:002013-04-03T12:58:44.552-05:00I remember when I got glasses.

We knew her vision was bad due to astigmatism but were waiting to see if it 'corrected'. What I remember most was her telling me she could see each hair on my head and the bark on a tree and being absolutely astounded. It broke my heart. However, all she remembers is that we got her glasses. Not that it took us so long to get them for her!!Milenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162020146025300987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253954.post-51376399952789538422013-04-03T10:26:35.588-05:002013-04-03T10:26:35.588-05:00Jackson looks adorable in his new glasses.

We had the same thing happen to us with our youngest daughter when she was in preschool. I only took her in to have her eyes checked because we thought her older sister had an eyesight issue- turns out her sister was fine and she wasn't. It was about 2 years after her first pair of glasses that the optometrist showed me what she was able to see without the glasses- it was pretty amazing. She can't see much at all at a distance- just blurry, blurry images. It does make your heart hurt as a mother! <br /><br /> LauraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259151285526691884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253954.post-68967857684031279872013-04-03T08:20:56.111-05:002013-04-03T08:20:56.111-05:00I was in your shoes a year ago but picture it with...I was in your shoes a year ago but picture it with my 8 year old boy. We never put two and two together that he liked to sit close to the TV or in the front of a classroom. When he asked what the score was one day on the TV, I knew it was bad. And the guilt as a parent is terrible. But it has been a year now and he is no worse for it. And it does truly make them appreciate the "little things" Just smile and take lots of pictures cause soon they want contacts =)hrk_mdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30253954.post-82306240129480752162013-04-03T07:56:19.236-05:002013-04-03T07:56:19.236-05:00Okay when you mentioned the leaves....that hurt my...Okay when you mentioned the leaves....that hurt my heart. :(<br /> Seriously Ali...kids adapt so well and it's like the Dr. said if he has always seen that way he wouldn't know any better and wouldn't be capable of telling you he would just adapt at dealing with it making it hard for you to tell!<br /> I'm so happy you caught it before school though! Now I'm wondering if I should take my little girl in and have her eyes and ears checked before school starts.<br />Hugs Mama...hugs!Scrapthathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376435346659219032noreply@blogger.com
