Popstar has been getting headaches at school. Go figure. Both my husband and I had glasses by the second grade, so Popstar’s declining sight was no surprise. What was surprising was how excited she was to go pick them out. She went in and started trying every frame on, addressing her mission with focus and determination. Shortly after we arrived she had found the one and there was no discussing it. They look adorable; not what I had in mind, but adorable just the same. I envisioned little wire frames, kind of preppy I guess. She would have no part of that. She picked out a contemporary narrow frame; very modern. From the iCarly (Disney) line, I believe. I would not have chosen that particular style, but I must admit she picked the perfect pair to enhance her face and her personality.
I remember dreading getting glasses way back when. Of course I had the braces, headgear, and rubber bands to go with them. Did I mention I was tiny bit chunky, and my mother thought she knew how to cut hair?! The best money I ever spent was on Lasik for correcting my vision. The convenience is so worth the expense. And I assured Popstar we would correct her’s too, when she’s grown up. Many, many, many years from now.
