Little boys and glasses!!

Let me tell you for those who don't know...Little boys and glasses don't mix!! We are on our 2nd prescription and 3rd set of frames!! He is doing so much better now that he can see, however, he (and his loving sister) are super hard on the glasses!! The first (distinguished) pair were so cute on him but not practical for an 18 month old! When he would get them off (when I was in the bathroom or while he was in his car seat) he would chew on the silicone nose pieces and they would be ruined! It was crazy how many of the little things we went through and how often I had to go into the eye Doctor to get replacements. I was pretty sick of it so I used the wonderful Internet to research glasses for babies!! I knew that I wasn't the only mom in the world who had gone through this fun stuff and sure enough there are Solobambini glasses that are hard plastic and rubber and have NO nose pieces! he loves them and they are pretty dang cute on him!! They also have transition lenses so they turn dark in the sun!





Also the people at the Moran eye center have been so dang good to us. They replaced the "distinguished" pair at no cost to us (after he was so hard on them) with a fisher price pair that are pretty cute too! They are not quite as durable as the solobambini frame, we have already had to get them repaired and we have only had them for a month, but it is nice to have the two pairs to switch back and forth.
