Dear Evalyn,
Oh sweet girl, we figured it all out this last month. You can't see with out glasses. You function well but you don't really see!
The wonder on your face as we fitted you with glasses was amazing. You were really seeing the world for the first time.
Trees and stars became full of excitement, riding your bike was easier, art...oh sweet art you seem to be devouring, coloring immediately improved, letter recognition...all of the things you tried were more fun and not such a challenge because you could see!
This was our first preemie related obstacle and you hurtled over it with leaps and bounds. You took to those spectacles like you had never had anything different. I have been so impressed by your wisdom and understanding of things lately.
Daddy and I have always talked to you like you were an adult and we didn't do anything different when it came to you wearing your glasses...we told you that you needed to wear them and so you did. Easy Peasy!
I love that when it's important you are so laid back. You never fight at the doctor, at the grocery store you follow directions, you don't run away from me, you stay right by the car when I tell you to and most importantly...you wear your glasses without argument...I love you for that!
Sweet Dreams baby girl,
xoxo, Mama
