Charlie has worn glasses since he was 14 months old. Just recently he's started objecting to wearing them - not violently, just whinging occasionally. Since I have enough battlegrounds with Charlie at the moment, I've not been making a big deal of him wearing them at home.
He was watching a cartoon with a character with glasses today, and suddenly jumped up and announced he was going upstairs to get his glasses.
Is there anything TV can't do?

It can be very powerful (gulp - good and bad)! Fabulous results this time!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I had to wear glasses as a kid. I was teased so much that one day at school I got up and threw them out the classroom window. I wish I had a stronger character back then to put up with all the teasing.
ReplyDeleteI buried mine in the garden, but only after spending a great deal of time ascertaining that I really could see better without them.
ReplyDeleteBut so far there hasn't been any issue with teasing with the glasses - it's been more of an inconvenience. They are a pain when he's jumping and running around and that sort of thing.
Hopefully this is because kids have come up with other things to tease each other about, but I think it's mostly because his pre-school is ruled with iron fist. In a good way. :)
