Glasses

Last week, Anneka complained that when her teacher used a red marker on the white board, she couldn't read it. She could only see the black marker. (Instead of blackboards, her school has giant whiteboards!)

This was the first time we'd heard her say anything like this. The teacher moved her to the front of the class, and we made an appointment with the eye doctor.

Sure enough....she needs glasses. And does she EVER! Her eyes are actually worse than mine! I don't know how she functioned this long without seeing. Wearing her glasses put a huge smile on her face. The whole world was crisp and clear...she couldn't believe it! She kept peering over them and saying "It's so blurry without them! How did I ever see???"

Sadly, they say her eyes will only worsen, and will probably be somewhere between Jason and my prescription. I told her though, that not only could she get contacts someday, but by the time she's grown, Lasik Eye surgery will cost a nickle. : P
