This sweet thing got his glasses today! James had a standard eye exam at the end of the school year which showed great vision in his right eye, but pretty poor vision in his left eye. Naturally, we wanted to check for ourselves thinking that he just wasn't cooperating, so I brought him into Gabe's office... the results were not reassuring... to the eye doctors we went. As it turns out he has an astigmatism in his left eye causing the poor vision. For the next few months he will be wearing glasses and intermittently patching to try and strengthen the eye. Apparently, if this is caught early (as his was) it is often reversible... fingers crossed! For now though, he looks really cute in his new glasses (thanks for the frames Aunt Andrea!) and is being really good about wearing the patch... he has also started to eat tons of carrots (to help make his eye strong)... we have tried to explain that that is not how carrots work, but he still insists that they are helping;)
