We knew this day would come.... And he's super excited!
Toby's teacher emailed us a few weeks ago and inquired about getting Toby's eyes checked. She said he politely asked if he could move closer to the board so that he could see what she writes.
We took him to a great eye doctor, and then filled his prescription right away. He picked out two pairs of glasses (the ones above are blue with a white stripe and he also got some black flexible-wire ones).
He is so careful about taking care of his glasses and cleaning them. He is very proud to wear them and he feels like he has a super power now that he can see the board! (When he put them on for the first time and we walked through Costco he said, "Now I can see everything." I didn't realize he was missing so much!) We had our spring parent-teacher conference this past week and it seems like his lack of ability to see the board didn't hold him back from any of the activities or academics in the day to day classroom. He's doing an outstanding job in class, according to his teacher. We'll see how the "super power" of clear sight adds to his classroom experience!
Norah wanted to see how her big brother was doing the first day he wore his glasses, so she staked out a position and watched her brother play. Then she came back to me to report.
