At Charlie's checkup after turning four, we learned that he had Amblyopia or more commonly called: "lazy eye". We were surprised to hear this as we hadn't noticed any issue for him in seeing. We were thankful his doctor sent him to get tested. His left eye is in need of some catching up to his right. From what we have been told, we are lucky this was caught at this point in his life. This being that he has a chance to have his eye catch up and be corrected. We will have to see if he will need to wear glasses the rest of his life, or if it will be short-lived. I guess it can go either way.
As you can see below, he took to the glasses right away. He loved getting them and has been wonderful at wearing them every day. We've only had one mishap where he talked a teacher into letting him keep the glasses on his nap bed at school. He finally came clean in that he decided to pretend the glasses were a train. They didn't survive that play. However, they are back together and he learned a lesson that I hope he doesn't have to repeat!
Here are a few more pictures from this summer. Since getting these glasses, Tom and I have both been told on several occasions how we need to get him into commercials. He is darn cute with these glasses. Although socking away money for his college tuition sounds great, we aren't looking to put him through the paces of modeling (at least at this moment!)
