A New Look...

A couple weeks ago Jaden was riding home on the bus when one of his friends said "Hey, let me try those on!" (meaning his glasses).  Unfortunately, this is what happened...

Luckily, Jaden collects a lot of "junk" (my word, not his).  So after rifling through his piles he came up with a solution...

Ingenious, don't you think?  Even the staff at the ophthalmologist's office was impressed. I don't think they had ever seen that particular solution before.  It was good enough to hold things together for a week while we waited for these new puppies to come in...

Nice, don't you think?  Jaden was extra excited to be able to see clearly again.  Now imagine him without any glasses, because that is what he has looked like this past week.  He's trying out contact lenses.  With those EXTRA long eyelashes it was a little tricky learning how to get them in the first time he tried (close to 30 minutes).  But nowadays he's getting to be a pro!  And although he still swears he likes glasses better (interpretation=less hassle), I think eventually he'll realize that contacts are great.  Personally, I am looking forward to watching him play soccer without worrying about about those darn glasses falling off and getting trampled on by cleats!
