As most of you know by now, Charley is sporting a new accessory - glasses! Poor baby just didn't have a chance - Mommy and Daddy are blind as bats! Anyway, I thought we'd have a major battle on our hands, but all it really took was holding him on my lap and after a few minutes of keeping his hands away from his face, turning on the iPad for a while. Afterward, taking him outside helped him be distracted, but it also helped him realize that with glasses, he could see!

However, as good as Charley was about wearing them, we all learned how sneaky (and quick!) he can be:
 |
| After a panicked search, we discovered hiding place #3 (after the recycle bin and Grandpa's garden) - Grandpa's boot. Mommy did the same thing when she was Charley's age! |
We've been spending a lot of time outside lately - first, the weather's been great; second, the more distracted Charley is, the better he is about wearing his glasses for long stretches of time! Here are some pictures of what we've been up to:
 |
| Meeting the turtle at the Botanical Gardens! |
 |
| At Memorial Park in Rockport! |
 |
| Done. |
Hopefully in time, Charley will either outgrow his prescription, or require glasses less. Everyone raves about them, and think he's even cuter with them on than with them off! Wonder how many pairs we'll end up buying...
