Chloe got new glasses! For the first time since she started wearing glasses (2 years and 4 months ago), she got new frames and lenses. She has had the same exact style of frames all along, but with 3 younger siblings, we have gone through 3 sets of frames. We just went in and replaced it each time with the exact same one. Her lenses were the same for the whole 2 years, but were quite scratched up. Due to another sibling error (boy do those babies love to pull on her glasses, as did Mitchell, who was a baby when Chloe first got them), Chloe's glasses broke again 2 weeks ago. Our insurance will cover a new pair of glasses every two years, so we decided to get something totally new and different this go around (and the store didn't carry her old frames anymore, so it wasn't even an option to get the same exact ones).
After much debate, here is what we chose.
Sure is different than her old ones... makes her look more grown up. Here is Chloe the day she got her glasses for the first time- January 2009, just barely 4 years old.
It was hard for me to let her get some more grown up glasses this go around- it was hard enough letting my cute little 4 year old get glasses at all in the first place!
But she looks adorable in them. I guess it's ok to let her start growing up- she is 6, after all... going on 16 (it seems).
While we were picking out new frames, I had to be thankful for all the cute choices of glasses these days. I remember the horrible huge, round frames that were available when I had glasses in elementary/middle school and they were hideous (Harry Potter style). I never felt as cute as Chloe looks.
Eye update: We saw the ophthalmologist last week who said that her vision in her weak eye is improving (thanks to the eye patching that she does 3 hours a day) so we will continue patching for the time being and hoping that everything continues to improve. The human eye is not done developing until around age 8, so things may stay the same for her (patching, same prescription, glasses) until then or longer.

Jimmer says hi. He's having a rough time alone in his crate.
So cute. I agree-much cuter styles now than we had years ago. Now it's stylish to wear glasses
She looks so adorable and stylish!
