Glasses

I came home from the gym the other night and went in to check on Eli and make sure that he was asleep. He was asleep and he still had his glasses on. I thought that it was pretty cute.

It's funny how used to them he is yet he doesn't always put them on first thing in the morning. I could never fall asleep with my glasses and I can't even get out of bed without putting them on in the morning.

One time Eli's glasses fell off and he said, "my glasses, I can't see a thing without my glasses!" That is a line from the movie "Scooby Doo in Where's my Mummy."

Glasses are such a part of out lives. I felt so bad for Eli when I found out that he needed glasses. I know how big of a pain it is to wear them and need them. As soon as Eli got his glasses though I felt a lot better. He looked SO cute in them and he didn't really mind wearing them. People are always noticing him and they think that he looks so cute. We bought Eli 2 pairs of glasses, one wire pair and one plastic pair. The wire pair has stars on the side of them and so I always would call them the star glasses to get him to wear them. He likes the plastic pair the best and named them "the moon ones".

I just asked Eli if he likes to wear glasses and he said "yea, I wish that people could wear them in the baths and the showers but they can't because they would be ruined." I said that he could wear them they just would get wet and he is now pondering that new development.

My kids are probably doomed to have poor eyesight too. Blaine has perfect vision but then again, so did my mom and besides Matt, we all have crappy eyes.

I think he looks darling with glasses too! There will come a day when he hates them so just enjoy his liking it right now.

Yes, why did you kids have to inherit my poor eyesight instead of your dads great eyesight? At least you girls didn't get my frizzy hair (although the boys did).

I think he is cute, too. Leesa and I were discussing his cute little nose the other day... I have to admit, he pretty much has the cutest nose I have ever seen, and since I am including my own little one in that comparison, you know it has to be good. So, at least his glasses have a cute perch!

He is so cute. A few weeks ago when we were at a play place, a group of highschool girls came in and they were pointing at Eli and saying how cute he was. He really is so cute.
