So this happened...
Yep, yep.
It was bound to happen, being MY daughter. Pretty sure I'm damn near legally blind without my contacts & glasses, so clearly I've been in complete AWE that my 3 kiddos - up to this point - have not required glasses. Cal & Scott both have vision "as good as a fighter pilot," according to our optometrist.
Damn them!!! Last visit to the eye doctor, both were able to read some unbelievably microscopic line way the F down on that evil "E chart." The only other person who'd done so was a fighter pilot. So these two yayhoos have now demanded our eye doc add "glassblower" & "badass student-athlete" to that elite list, and they never let ME forget it! Yours truly is currently giving the biggest eye roll EVER, as I can't even see the damn E without correction. They both can suck it. Ditto that fancy pilot. HA!
Claire's latest eye exam revealed that she was quite nearsighted. I believe her prescription is -3.50 or something?! Not quite as bad as mine, but she's well on her way. (So sorry, sweet girl o' mine!) Apparently the teen years are when eyesight can change, so our almost-14-year-old is actually on track for something. WOOHOO! We are using them with her when she's awake and looking further than 18-24" away and hoping this will make her world SO much bigger!
I snapped some pics of her sportin' her new Ray-Ban's like a boss, and I HAD to share. Enjoy my studious little teenager rockin' her new specs!

"The Bird" makes it's return... A certain someone, and I don't want to name names -- CLAIRE -- doesn't want her picture taken anymore. Like EVER. Typical teenage angst, we've decided. And maybe a sprinkling of badass.
SO. PROUD! |
