Blurry No More

In the last several months, Judson has commented off and on about his vision being blurry.  But it's hard to tell with kids when they are serious, and with this kid, it's even harder!  He tends to be dramatic, and he we couldn't tell if he really had trouble, or just thought it would be cool to have glasses.

Anyway, we kept it in our minds and kept an eye on him. He didn't have any trouble with reading or with his schoolwork, but we began to notice that if he was watching TV or playing the Wii, he could read the words on the screen unless he got right up to the screen.

We decided it was time to have him checked out.  I had a "mom fail" moment when the nurse had him look at the huge letter on the other side of the room, and he couldn't tell what it was. We had no idea that it was quite that bad. 

Later, after the doctor examined him and got him all fixed up with a prescription, we left and Judson remarked that the appointment was neat because he hadn't seen anything clear in a long time.(Wow!)

We picked out some glasses for him, and he's doing great at taking care of them and enjoying looking at the birds and the stars with new appreciation.

And to top it all off, he's as cute as can be!
