So, you wonder, does Reid wear her glasses?

August 9, 2008 by Barbara.

Reid has worn her glasses all day, each day since we picked them up on Tuesday. The teachers have been impressed. She takes them off in the car on the way home to day care but puts them back on.

On Thursday night it rained and Reid took her glasses off when we got back to the car from the grocery store, she didn’t want them back on. I’d called Melissa to tell her that Reid would be wearing her glasses to be sure that the kids didn’t react with anything less than enthusiasm. Reid had an attack of shyness, though, and wouldn’t put her glasses on to show them. After supper, she wanted something from Sarah and I recommended that Sarah agree on the condition that Reid put her glasses on. Sarah grinned at my trickiness and asked to see Reid’s glasses. They all said that Reid looked cute - which is true - and Reid was proud of herself.

I forgot Reid’s glasses at home Saturday morning. We’d finished breakfast at Eddie’s and were rushing to the Puppets Up festival in Almonte before we realized the glasses were missing. I suggested that we might skip picking them up and have time to watch an extra play but Reid was committed to her glasses. I zoomed home to get them and Reid showed them proudly to Aunty Amanda. I don’t know if Reid could see the puppets more easily but it’s good to know that her glasses don’t bother her.
