Both of Dan's parents and his siblings all wear glasses. <BR/><BR/>We're going to keep a close eye on our kids because we know it's inevitable. They're due for a check again this year.<BR/><BR/>She'll do just fine. She can get some really cool glasses these days. She'll be a trend setter.

When I was in school they only tested every couple of years. I failed my vision test miserably in third grade. After seeing the optometrist he guesstimated that I had probably needed glasses for about 2 years. First day I wore glasses to school...got called 4 eyes within the first hour. So good for you for doing the prep work! I am ridiculously and horribly nearsighted. My oldest seems to be following in those footsteps. She has had glasses since second grade. #2 is in the "clear" (ha!) so far, but given family history (Every single person has glasses) our eye doctor says that it is not a question of IF my kids will have glasses, but when. I about need a second job to keep us all in glasses or contacts. Sorry..this went on longer than I intended!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053954608332662629noreply@blogger.com
