Bonnie's Glasses


All of our kids come from a long line of people who can't see. Bonnie is pretty farsighted with a good dose of astigmatism. We picked up her glasses today, and went to the hibachi restaurant to celebrate that we only had to retrace our steps in the library one time to find glasses that had been left on the floor. And the glasses were only slightly bent. Little steps.

If anyone wants to leave a comment encouraging Bonnie in her new glasses-wearing life, I will gladly read them to her! Pretty cute, huh?

UPDATE: We went to Walmart on the way to church tonight. Bonnie was sitting in the basket and took off her glasses and sat on them and bent them up pretty well. Luckily we were already at Walmart (where we bought the glasses) and so just went to have them unbent at the Vision Center. I gently reminded Bonnie that it won't always be that easy to get her glasses fixed, and the optician gently asked me if I bought the $10 frames (yes, ma'am, I sure did.). And we were only 15 minutes late to church. Good times.

She looks adorable! I LOVE little kids in glasses. Tell Bonnie that I had to wear glasses when I was little, too. And Erin, you have the right attitude - little steps...

Oh my! She looks so cute in them! I wish I could help you find a solution to not lose them, but I have no idea! Anyway...she looks so cute in them and they really make her look like a big girl!

Bonnie- I love your glasses! You look so grown-up in them. Keep up the cuteness and keep up with your glasses too :)

Bonnie, you look very cute in your new glasses.

Erin, please don't resort to having to put one of those bands around the glasses so Bonnie won't take them off, unless you absolutely have to.

This picture kind of reminds me of pictures of mom as a kid.

What a princess... and the glasses were just the missing pierce... her very own magic wand to see better... I really like them and you guys pick out a good pair for her sweet face. Congrats!

She looks precious. I had to wear glasses when I was 18 months old and on. I can't begin to count how many times I hid them when I was little. I know my mom got me an extra pair for those special times.

I love your idea of having people write Bonnie notes, Erin. What a fun way to begin her new stage with them!
Bonnie,
We LOVE your glasses! You look so pretty and adorable in them. We will be praying that you learn how to take good care of them and keep them by your side at all times. =) You look like such a grown up girl!
Love, Justin & Alison Thompson

Dear Bonnie,

We looked at your picture and thought that the glasses looked so great with your cute haircut! Granddad started wearing glasses when he was just a couple of years older. They make you look so cute and smart at the same time!!
Love,
Granddad and Ginny

Bonnie, you might be the cutest little girl in glasses I have ever seen in my life! I absolutely love them! Norah wishes she could have some too!

Make sure you take good care of them so you can help keep an eye on your baby sister!
