More glasses!

Cameron has passed the 20 pairs of broken glasses!  The vision therapy office has had problems ordering his glasses.  This is the 3rd time they have ordered.  Each time it takes 4 weeks to come in, so 4 weeks to find out they didn't come in!  His bifocals had both arms taped.  Cameron started wearing his single vision lens glasses and broke an arm, then the other.  Both were taped, but one just wouldn't stay on.  So, he was wearing glasses with one taped arm!  A couple of weeks ago he had his appointment and they ordered the glasses again and they should be in in about 2 more weeks. (We'll see)  I was desperate and found a cheap place on line and ordered a pair for $37.  They should be here in the next week or so.  Well, he needed glasses now.  His vision is 20/200, so it's not like it's a minor thing with him.  Well, we went to Lenscrafters for the one hour glasses.  We went to the one at Southcenter mall.  They didn't have his lenses.  I called the one in Bellevue and their machine was down.  Called the one in Redmond and they didn't have them in stock.  Called the one in Federal Way and BINGO!  We have a winner!  Tuesday we headed down for his one hour glasses.  They were having a sale (good thing!) We got them for just under $200 and that was 1/2 price!  OUCH!  After all, we are used to free glasses!  At least we got the pair that can actually bend.  Maybe they will last.  I sure hope so.  At least we have 2 back up pairs on the way!  He was very happy to get his bifocals again!  Even he notices that his behavior is better when he has them.

Awesome glasses Cammy dear. Now try to keep them looking like new so Mommy can get a life which doesn't involve looking for glasses for her young lad! Mel, you're a star and wonder woman in my book. Love you!
