Who knew??

What I did know was that my day was going to be quite busy today, but I didn't realize how busy.



The other day when we made our usual weekly trip to the library Isaac made the comment that the words were blurry and he had to blink to get them to be clear. My thought was your probably just getting tired, suck it up boy...what a nice mom I am. lol When William lost his job and we realized that we would also lose our insurance we figured that we'd better get all the boys in and get them all checked out...teeth, eyes and bodies! :-) I had made appointments for Isaac to get in to the eye doctor before, but really didn't have a concern so when it came time and we were too busy I just canceled them. He wasn't like Mason who already had glasses and can't see more than 3 feet in front of him and Weston who has a lazy eye, so I figured he would be fine.


As we pulled up Isaac asked if this is where they sell glasses. I kindly told him yes, but that he wouldn't need glasses we were just here to get his eyes checked. As I was filling out the form it reminded me of the time he said that the words were blurry so I hestitantly put it down. He was so excited to sit in that chair and behaved extremely well. I am so proud of him!!!! They then began by covering his left eye and she asked him to read the bottom line, which he claimed he couldn't see. So she went to the next one in which he said they were blurry, then the next one up and he only got two right, then on the very top he was finally able to identify them. I was completely shocked!! Blow away as a matter of fact. She said that it was probably just his nerves and afraid to give the wrong answer because of how he answered every one of them right when she covered the right eye. Oh, and by the way, he tried to cheat on the eye exam. I had no clue that was even possible. This is how it went down!
Doctor: Read this line.
Isaac: Bird.
Doctor: Great. Whats next?
Isaac: Airplane.
Doctor: Good. Next?
Isaac: What is that?
Doctor: "Hor"..as she stopped herself. I don't know you tell me.
Isaac: I have no idea!
It was the cutest thing ever. We were all laughing so hard!


When the doctor came in I immediately asked him what he thought. I mean seriously, we were just here for a check-up. I had no concerns at all. He immediately said that he did NOT think it was a fluke and that he thought it was genuine. What?? You've got to be kidding me? Not at all what I expected. So he showed me why he thought that, went through all the tests they do and it made perfect sense. I won't bore you with the rest, but the basic run down, after being at there for 2 hours, is that Isaac has an astigmatism and without correction his vision in 20/60!!! I am so not kidding here. It's worse than Masons! He said that if he was just nearsighted at this age he wouldn't mess with it, but with the history of lazy eye in our family he feels its important to correct it. Basically Isaac can't see close up or far away. Well, I should say he can't see clearly like we can, which I'm starting to wonder if what I see is clear, but thats beside the point. :-)


So here he is...picking out his first pair of glasses! I have to tell you that this took forever becuase I was still in complete shock over the fact that he actually needs them. And they don't make many stylish ones for kids his age. :-)

So this is what we decided on!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Gotcha! I, being so sidetracked with finding the right pair, forgot to take a picture of the ones we decided on. I will tell you that they are green and shaped pretty much like Masons. Not to mention that by the time we found one to fit his face and could be green (the color he wanted, talk about being picky..lol), I was ready to get out of there. :-) I will post pics the minute we get them which will be sometime next week...and is not soon enough for him. He is very, I repeat VERY excited.

Oh, and the good news...I get to do it all over again with Weston tommorrow!! YAY!
