Glasses for Caleb
So, a couple weeks back Caleb had a checkup with the doctor. For some reason, when he covered his right eye, letter K's started looking like O's and T's began looking like U's. Well, let's just say he did not have a very successful eye exam with his left eye.So, off to the eye doctor we went, and interestingly enough, the eye doctor wrote him a prescription for eyeglasses, yet suggested we need not get them yet because Caleb hadn't complained about not seeing well.
Well, goodness. This seemed odd to me. Why would he have a prescription that showed Caleb needed corrective lenses, but then have us wait until next year to get glasses? Hmmm......very strange. I suppose his vision wasn't that bad really, but I did worry about the one good eye over compensating for the other eye and bad things happening. What really could it hurt anyway?
So, we went ahead and decided to get him some. Now of course the eye place we went only lets you get the lenses free if you buy 2 pairs of glasses so it ends up being hundreds of dollars cheaper, (but I still think it is stupid being we only really needed one because Caleb only needs glasses part time right now) so we had to pick out 2.
This was not an easy process, let me tell you. Well, for some reason it did not matter what shape, color or size of glasses we put on this boy, because every pair had him looking just like that Ralphie kid on the Christmas Story movie, or the kid on Jerry Maguire, or some annoying cartoon character! I'm sorry to say this about my own kid, but really, glasses after glasses we were trying on, and it was not looking too good.
In the end, well, I guess he's just got that kind of face and round head shape. My poor little Ralphie boy! Well, I think he's kind of cute, but others have been making fun of him.
The first pair was a thicker plastic frame as you see up above. And yes, the glasses sure put extra "charm" to my poor boy! Well, I called them the "character glasses" because they gave him character which he already has plenty of!
We finally found a little wire rimmed pair that actually weren't too bad.
Troy likes this pair the best and Caleb who loved the first pair has decided he likes this one better now as well.
However, I still favor the cute little nerdy Ralphie glasses which he picked out first below. They just seem to match his personality more so. 
Caleb was funny when he got them on he said, "Wow, I can see everything is so clear!" Silly boy. He doesn't have to wear them all the time, so you may or may not see him with them on in person. Such a cute boy never the less!
