A couple of weeks ago, we were having breakfast one morning and – out of a clear, blue sky, Dub said, “Maybe Austin needs to get glasses.” I asked why he thought that and he said Austin had told him “sometimes, like when we’re reading, I don’t see too good.” I called Tyler later that morning and told him what Dub had said and he thanked me and asked for the name of Dub’s optometrist. I gave him the name of the pediatric ophthalmologist who had seen Dub and he said they’d make an appointment and have it checked out.
Damien and Tyler had a big Halloween party to go to on Monday and wouldn’t be home until late, so Damien asked if Austin could spend the night with us. I checked with David and Dub and, of course it was o.k. with them, so he did. It was the first time we’d seen Austin in his new glasses and he’s even cuter with them than without. I asked him if he could see better now that he had glasses and he said, “Yeah. Now I can see real good.” I said, “You mean ‘Now I can see real well?” He grinned and said, “Yeah. That too.”
As I thought about it, I realized Dub has been wearing glasses for almost a year and I’ve almost forgotten what he looks like without them. This is going WAY too fast!
