Yes, a few days ago we were looking at toys ads in the newspaper. Oh, yes, time for making a list and checking it twice..... but anyway, Little Bit had the Walmart ad and was trying to peel up a sticker that was on there....EXCEPT for the fact that is wasn't "stuck" onto the ad...it was part of the ad....so that was my first clue that he was really not seeing very well....
After a call to my eye doctor to squeeze him in....he got glasses! His vision was -3.5 in on eye and -4 in the other...SO DAG-GONE is it any wonder why he has had behavior problems??? The frustrating part to me is that he should have had glasses this entire time in foster care....after diving into his 'red book' (the binder of info they send with the kiddos in this state.....yes, even in there, there was an old IEP from before coming into custody in APril....Bio-mom knew his glasses were broke then but hadn't bothered to get the fixed/replaced.
I just can't imagine not being important enough in my mom's life for her to replace my glasses. Yes, I know they get expensive....and YES, I know kids break them....a lot. I was THAT kid!! I fell asleep on my many, many times. And that was back-in-the-day before springs in the ear pieces!!
Little Bit, you are handsome with those glasses....and yes....I love watching you compare how you see with them and without. I know you too are amazed at how much you have been missing!!
