His Glasses Will Be Blue......

i asked tim to go with me to help pick out wyatt's glasses.  smart thinking, huh?   wyatt flailed, threw his head back, slung his head from side to side, anything he could do to avoid getting those glasses on his face!   it was so dramatic that it was comical....except it wasn't!    not sure how on earth we are going to convince him to keep them on his face!   with the hearing aid as well.....

wyatt's speech therapist happened to come into the optical shop at the same time, and gave us another set of eyes to try to figure out which pair would work best for wyatt, in conjunction with the hearing aid.   she is so optimistic and positive, she just kept telling me that we'll (together) "figure it out!"   i appreciate her! 

so we're going with the miraflex (plastic) glasses this time.  i know that everyone swears by the specs 4 us, made especially for folks with Down syndrome, but i don't think a metal frame is the best thing for wyatt right now.  seriously.  we've talked about it and made the decision.  done.   and we're going with a blue frame, since tim would not let me order red....i really wasn't going to order red, but he knows it's my favorite color, so he just assumed that would be my vote!   hahaha!  he doesn't know me as well as he thinks he does....but if orange had been an option.........

as we're leaving, tim said "you don't think you could have done that by yourself, huh?"   not on your life!
