"miraculous little windows!"

We are really getting the hang of this glasses business around here. I say "we" because, let's be honest", when your toddler wears glasses the entire family does, too. Everyday is a little bit better & I am pretty much to the point where he looks different to me without them. And, I find myself thinking, what if they do really help him see? Duh, I know that is the point but I thought he was too young to really notice the difference. Teddy Roosevelt managed to put this in perspective for me when he was quoted as referring to his new glasses as "miraculous little windows!" Granted, he was 10 or a more normal age to first get glasses, but still. Fun stuff.

Shout out to Teddy with our onesie!
Let me just tell you that if a business wants me to spend money, it will help if they have a cookie decorating area. Verizon was hosting Safety Day complete with balloons, face painting, stickers, coloring and, of course, the cookie situation. Why on earth can't Target figure this out?
I have a feeling that Anderson's next word is going to be "outside"! He always wants to go outside and smash the flowers, pick up rocks, chase Gabbi and just be a boy!

Book from Aunt Cole! Anderson wears glasses!
Goofy looking picture but it was one of the first ones I took with the glasses in public. People definitely notice/look twice but not nearly as much as I thought they would. And, for the most part, people comment about how cute they are! I agree, of course.

So, you're telling me that you don't have a "patch" drawer in your house?
Visit from Lily last week! The best part of the week was when she got so excited to see Uncle Brandon! It was hilarious. She was jumping and yelling and ran toward him. I acted the same way when I saw her.
He was very concerned about the Lorax being cold. Anderson got to hang out with GG so we could go to the cheer banquet and he had so much fun!


We celebrated J Pa's birthday with dinner at Naples where I was reminded that toddlers+restaurants=NO. He was pretty good considering it was past his bedtime, he doesn't really eat and there was no where for him to walk around. We spent most of the night looking at the "hot" (candle). It was fun to celebrate one of our favorite people!

  3. So proud of him! I wanted you to look at the grocery store and find the magazine rack. On the cover of US magazine, I think, is a picture of a couple w/2 kids. There's a little girl with glasses just like A, but they are pink! And I'd say she's about the same age! I noticed right away since our little man is sporting the style!! Love to all, Aunt Lo-Lo

  4. The Lorax pic is pretty awesome. Also...love his face with the cookie! That boy. So cute.

    Also, I hate to bring attention to it, but I think somebody loves Aunt Cole (onesie, patches, book...I have been a huge impact on his life).

  7. In the last picture when he didn't have the glasses on I thought he looked like something was missing. Ha! I guess I'm used to him in them now too! :-) How can you not love that cute kid in glasses!!

  8. I love the Lorax picture! Even though he's an adorable rough and tumble boy with glasses, he still takes care of his buddies.
