Elaina's New Glasses

When Elaina was 3 months old she had eye surgery for Retinopathy of Prematurity. She was a stage 3 out of 5 stages and I knew that someday she would need glasses.
(Elaina was a preemie and weighed @ 2 - 2 1/2 pounds at birth.) (I was also a preemie and had eye surgery when I was a baby)

We went to the eye doctor last week and I was told it was time for her to get glasses. The doctor had to laugh and told me she knew Elaina was my daughter because we have the same stigmatism in our left eyes. (that's my girl). Elaina picked out her own glasses and I didn't realize that when I ordered them they would be transition lenses. when she goes outside she looks like Yoko Ono. They are so cute on her. She LOVES wearing them and keeps them in her "suitcase" and asks to put them on as soon as she wakes up.

She looks adorable and so happy with her new glasses. You are fortunate she loves wearing them - when I was her age I was known to 'lose' them. Thrown in trees, under tires etc.
