Andrew got his new glasses today. I had known he needed his eyes checked for the past six months but procrastinated getting an appointment made. It turns out he is far sighted in one eye with an astigmatism and it really needs to be corrected for his vision to develop properly. When I took him in last week he enthusiastically picked out a pair of frames that he liked and acted disappointed that he couldn't take them home right then. Two days later he announced that he didn't need glasses and didn't want glasses. So much for the initial enthusiasm. So today I took him out to lunch first and then promised a cookie after to get him to the office to get the glasses. So far so good. Then it was off to home with more distractions to keep him occupied. Overall, it was a good first day, we will see how it goes with school tomorrow.
