So today was the day! I have tried all sorts of tricks to get Asher excited for his glasses (thank you everyone btw for all of your awesome ideas!). This morning, though, I feel like we finally had a breakthrough. I had the thought to make his special bunny "Up Doc" some glasses out of a pipe cleaner. He loved them! So when the optician called this morning and said Asher's glasses were ready early, I was thinking, wow, that's interesting :) So with Up Doc in tow, we went to the clinic. Aeden and Belen were sporting some specs to help Asher get excited :)
Here's a pic of Asher and Up Doc (the brown thing is Up Doc's "glasses")
This is how I thought all of our pictures would turn out, only with less smiling.
But
LOOK!
And
LOOK!
Yep,
LOOK! He's still wearing them! It's been two hours and he hasn't taken them off :D He even sat on the couch for a minute to watch a cartoon! The COUCH...not two inches in front of the tv! When we walked out of the clinic, he looked out the window and yelled "SNOW!" I just can't help think he's experiencing a whole new world today. I am so so so happy for my little guy. Isn't he the cutest thing in the world?! :)

oh - he's darling! I hope the excitment of finally being able to see continues and those glasses stay on his face. "Up Doc" is cute too!! CONGRATS MOM!
YAY! That's exactly what Christopher did. He was so excited to see, he never knew what he was missing.
He looks so handsome!!! And Bella looks so stylin with her glasses on! That cute you found glasses small enough for her!
He looks very good in glasses! I love the "up doc" idea! That is great that he was watching TV on the couch!
He looks so great! I remember walking around after i got glasses for the first time. Every color was brighter, every thing was crisp and I could see the trees on the mountains... from the Cache Valley Mall! I was so surprised! He's going to LOVE being able to see. Good job Tiff!
That is fantastic! I hate not having my glasses or contacts on/in because I love being able to see things clearly, hopefully it is the same with your handsome little guy!
I LOVE the glasses! He looks so big and handsome with them on. I have a friend who didn't realize her daughter's eyes were bad until she was almost 8. They were driving down the road after she got her glasses and the daughter said, "Mom, is that really what trees look like?" She was so used to just seeing a green blur. It makes you glad we have access to such simple medical miracles. I'm sure he really is experiencing life from a whole different perspective right now.
He looks so stinkin cute in his glasses!
