Follow me to see how this year unfolds one picture at a time...
Sometimes I get a few days behind in my posts but I am always taking the pictures. I just do not always get on the computer daily to post. If I get behind, keep checking back, there is always a picture for each day! :)

Time for Glasses!

Today, Jayden got glasses! This is my attempt at getting a picture of a genuine smile. For some reason when I try to take a picture, he either looks away or he gets a fake smile that doesn't really look like him. Oh well - it's still cute! :)
Jayden's taste in frames was very interesting and had I agreed to some of the ones he was looking at, he would have some big red, yellow, or "bumble bee" style glasses. We think these are much cuter! When he tried them on, they had the stickers on the lenses that told the brand (nickelodeon) and a picture of a cartoon on it. When we came back to pick them up, he put them on and very politely said, "The lenses are great but these aren't the frames I wanted." He thought the stickers would get to stay on them. He decided that he liked them anyway - thankfully!
He is supposed to wear them most of the time - all the time in the classroom and if he's watching a movie/TV but he can take them off for recess/playing. On the way home from the eye doctor, I told him to tell me something that he can see better now that he couldn't see very well before. He said, "I can see that the traffic light is green and I couldn't see it before." Poor guy! I had no idea his eyes were that bad!!

It changes his look so much! We think he's as cute as ever though! 
He thinks it's awesome that he will have to wear glasses for the rest of his life. I wonder how long that excitement will last... :)

We also had a great time with some friends tonight! We ate way too much food and stayed way too late - but it was a ton of fun! Thanks for the get together guys!

  1. Cute kid! I've gone through and read some more posts that I missed. I had no idea you hated stickers! That is so funny to me. I can think of a lot of ways to tease you and put them on your arms or something, but I'll be nice. And I noticed that green dress when you wore it to church the other week! Way cute!
