New Accessories.

Several months ago we got a notice in Miles school bag about his vision.

It didn't say anything specific, it was just a notice saying he had a vision exam preformed.

I noticed the date was stamped on the note a whole month earlier.

I was kind of confused why we were just getting this notification.

So I called a couple moms and asked if they got a vision notice too.

Nope, non of them.

I thought it was kinda weird. 

We went to dinner that night and I told Romney about the note and he said

"he doesn't need glasses!"

Romney then looked at Miles and asked him to "read all the letters on my shirt."

He didn't so great.

Romney said "oh, maybe he does need glasses?!" 

So, we took him to the pediatrician where he bombed the eye exam there is the office.

Next stop: the optometrist.

 Oh, he looked darling in that big chair,

with the big equipment over his tiny face.

And sure enough this boy is blind.

We had no clue.

We are so grateful the school does those screenings!

So, Miles left eye is very weak.

The doctor was shocked that his left eye hadn't gone wonky and cross eyed.

He has to wear an eye patch everyday for 30 minutes to strengthen that eye and wake it up-the doctor told Miles his eye is on a vacation.

We got him a pirate patch and he LOVES it and and wears it all the time. 

He picked out some pretty cool specs, I'd say.

We had to wait 2 LONG weeks for those cool specs to come in and when they arrived, this boy was pumped!

The next morning on the drive to school he kept saying
everything looked "clean!"

It was adorable.

At drop off, the boys were getting out of the car and I told our super good friend Tyson to have Miles back if anyone teased him. 

I quickly told Miles to be confident with his new look and watched him walk away seeing the world with his new eyes.
