New Glasses

For a while now Ellie has been complaining that her eyes hurt her when she reads, so with school approaching rather quickly I told Ray I felt I needed to get her into an eye doctor and see just what is up with her. Well on Friday we went into the Wal Mart vision center for an eye exam and he said that she was near sited. He said her vision isn't really bad yet, but that it will probably get worse with the older she gets. I asked him how long they would take to get here, and he told me a week. I told him my concerns of her not having enough time to adjust before school starts, and he told me the soonest they would be here would be on Friday the 22nd of August, and school starts on the 25th. I told Ellie she would have the weekend to adjust but that was it. Well, last night at about 7:30 I get a call from the vision center letting us know that her glasses were in. When I asked them how they were able to get back so quickly being that we ordered them Friday at 4:00 the receptionist told me that the doctor had put a rush on them and sent them off separately free of charge. HOW NICE!! Anyway so this morning after dance practice we headed for Brigham to pick up her glasses. She is slowly getting used to them, but is now concerned that the kids at school will make fun of her. So, we have had to remind her that Kortney has glasses, the twins, and Whitney, and Brandi, and Kasey and aunt Terra, and the list goes on and on of the big girls that she idolizes that have glasses. So thank you to the big girls for wearing your glasses with pride. haha Anyway, here are several pictures of my big girl in her glasses. The rim is pink, although she wanted dark frames just like Kort's. But, I think the pink ones look just dang cute on her. Hopefully this will help her want to read more. And hopefully we wont have problems at school with mean kids making fun of her
