Glasses

As I type this, our newly bespectacled little girl is running around in circles in my office belting out a song of her own invention.  The latest lyric is "because I love you!"

The biggest happening around here is Avery's new glasses.  A couple of months ago, we noticed one eye was occasionally pointing inward when the other eye was looking straight on.  First we took her to our eye doctor.  I wasn't comfortable he really knew what he was talking about, so I mentioned it to her pediatrician.  She recommended that we take her to a pediatric ophthalmologist.  I managed to get her appointment moved up several weeks when it quickly moved from being an occasional inward motion to a nearly constant one.  The end result was that she needs glasses because she's farsighted.  It's possible that she'll need to a wear a patch over one eye for a period of time if glasses don't correct the problem, but I think glasses are going to fix it since when she's wearing them, I rarely (if ever?) see the eye out of alignment.

My friend Christie is a far superior photographer than I (as are Amber and Rachele, but I won't bore everyone with my jealousy of their skills and interest in photography).  Christie was kind enough to take some shots of Avery while we were playing at the park with her son, Henry, the other day.  I love how she looks in her glasses.  And, for the record, Avery picked out her frames all by herself.  I think she did a great job!
