Well, he just about needs glasses. And he really only needs them for close up reading and/or writing. The Optician thinks he may have even outgrown that within a year or two. His long sight is excellent.
Bear didn't take it well. He did not want to wear glasses, it wasn't fair. However he kept grumbling about pain in the eyes then he started complaining that he didn't have the glasses right now and that it wasn't fair.
Then he spent today doing dot to dots and colouring in pictures and complaining about eye strain. Apparently his teacher uses colouring pictures as a way of teaching mindfulness. I'm all for it. I hope to be able to pick up one or two books inexpensively over the next week or so for Christmas.
I won't be going out tomorrow. I'm waiting on the tv, which I have been doing since @ 27 November. It arrived yesterday but with a smashed screen. Tomorrow someone is picking it up and someone else is delivering the new one, which will be encased in yet more cardboard. Cardboard is taking over the house. I'm really looking forward to the first week in January when I can finally get rid of all the boxes!
I'm sure Bear will get used to the glasses and hopefully his eyes will be feeling a lot better when he wears them.
ReplyDeleteYikes - what a thing to happen to the new telly! Hope the next one is good.
Hope bear will get his glasses, soon. My daughter has needed glasses since she was 7 or 8.
