So...after dropping Gabe off at school, I headed over to the optometrist to pick them up. Then I trucked (actually vanned) back to the school to give them to Gabe. He was way to hyped up to wait for after school.
He raced down to the office (which is VERY unusual for him). We fitted them and he put them on.
Now this is a quote...a direct quote...
"Wow....everything is so....CLEAR!"
All of the office ladies were giggling...me too. But truthfully, I felt a little bad wondering what he has been missing.
Then he read to me some words off a poster that was a few feet away from us with such a bewildered expression as if he had never even noticed it before. Crazy!
When he got home we took some pictures. This, in and of itself, is a MIRACLE. The kid does not like having his picture taken. He couldn't hold a straight face. That just makes them all the more cute. :)
By the way...he totally picked out the blue frames...he thinks they are so cool!
Funny kid!
On another note, I made meatloaf for dinner. It was a first for me...and a first for the kids. THEY LOVED IT! I was not expecting such an enthusiastic reaction. Gabe said he would love to eat it every day for dinner and lunch...and even breakfast if he could. I was flabbergasted. It's kind of nice to feel appreciated every now and then.
Just thought I'd share.

His glasses look nice. I dread the day when my kids need them. It is inevitable, as I wear them and Jason is nearly blind without his (his grandma IS blind). Good job on the meatloaf. I have attempted it a couple of times and my kids don't dig it.
It's always a great day when your kids like what you make for dinner! I've pretty much given up hope on that one unless I make something totally not good for them.
Oh, Gabe you look so grown up, and happy day, now that you can see!!!
Melanie, my kids LOVE meatloaf as well. I like it cause its a quick easier dinner. fun to see you guys over christmas!
The glasses look great! and Congratulations on finding a winning dinner! That is virtually impossible here right now.
He's too cute, we love meatloaf at our house too, funny because I never ate it as a kid, but it's quick and easy, good job!
So cute! What a handsome kid! I also keep waiting for the day my kids say they can't see :( But there is hope. Jeremy has perfect eyes! (Well I do too, but it cost A LOT!;)
My family loves meatloaf! I haven't made it for a long time! Thanks for the idea! I'm glad it was such a success for you! I love days when someone doesn't complain about what I made! (Lately it's Jeremy though! The big bum. I just tell him to make his own ;)
Love it.
Super cool glasses, Gabe. You look good. And I'll bet you can see good, too. I remember the first time I borrowed my friend's glasses in junior high. I was so surprised that I could actually see the chalkboard at the front of the class (I'm a little slow--I didn't realize my vision was bad before then, it was just the way things were). I'm glad he figured it out a little sooner. Love you guys!
