Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.

Emma has new glasses



My daughter started wearing glasses at 8 months old. She has strabismus and a lazy eye. We went to pick glasses for her and we fell in love with the first pair of glasses she tried on. They were simple, small red round glasses. They fit her little face so well and she looked like a doll. Now, of course, she kept taking them off during her “adaptation” period. We constantly put them back on but it did happen (4 times in 4 months actually) that she broke part of the glasses. The glasses were super cute but the end of them curled behind her ears and it often broke (she pulled on them and the ends would detach).


So we got tired… we decided to get Bam’boo glasses. These are European glasses for kids. They have bigger lenses and they seem to fit better around the eye. They are also made of plastic and they are flexible which makes it very hard to break while bending, stretching or walking on them. They also have elastic (protected by plastic) behind them which goes around your baby’s head. It keeps them more straight (no falling off their nose) and if they try and remove them, it usually sticks around their necks and not fall on the floor. I prefer them much more and apparently do does Emma. Hopefully it motivates her to keep them on!
