After a few weeks of saying that words on the pages of his books were blurry and that he was even having trouble seeing things farther away, we took Sam to the eye doctor. He confirmed that Sam's eye muscles are having trouble deciding how/where to focus and prescribed glasses for him to give those muscles a chance to relax. After a little while we'll go back and he will give Sam some exercises for strengthening those muscles.

In the mean time, I just want to know how a single pair of glasses can make my baby look like a huge, old kid. Seriously, I feel like he aged 10 years the very second he slipped them onto his sweet face. He loves his new glasses and wanted to celebrate by going straight to the library for a new book to read.

8 going on 18 joy...
