Hayden has now had his teeth inspected, cleaned, and root planed/scaled, his body checked out and shot up with vaccines, and his eyes examined. Yep, he’s all ready for kindergarten.
Yep. Once they get these made, the kid’s got a life sentence. And (almost) clear vision, so we can’t complain too much. He picked out these frames himself. And for evening prayer, he prayed for his glasses to get here safely.
Rebecca saw this picture and laughed. “Why Hayden so c’asee?!” (Crazy) “Why do he weah he g’asses?”
I blame his daddy. Hayden holds the dubious honor of being the only child this optometrist examined for kindergarten screening this year who needed a full exam (and, thus, glasses). But that’s why we do these things, right?
How old were you when you got glasses? And if the answer is never, just wait.

He looks stinkin’ cute in those glasses. Yay for kindergarten!
8 years old. It didn’t bother me at all — since both my parents wore glasses but I was the first kid in my glass to wear them. I wasn’t the first of my scouting friends, though so maybe I didn’t feel weird about it because I knew other girls to wear them.
Hayden looks super cute with spectacles!
Are you sad about him going to Kindergarten? Or thrilled? Or a little of both?
I can’t believe it! He is so little to have glasses. He looks cute, though. I was 8 when I got my glasses.
I was 8 too. Weird.
I’m excited for kindergarten! It helps that Hayden’s really excited. Just looking at him, I feel like he’s getting so big/old at least once a week, so I think I’m set there.
Aw, this makes me sad. He’s too young!! I was 12 when I got glasses.
But they are quite cute.
I was 9. In California they gave rudimentary eye exams to all of the children in school in 4th grade, so 8, 9 and 10 year-old children began sporting glasses. I didn’t mind wearing them, but the first day when everyone turned and looked was not fun. I had been one of those who said “Look so-and-so is wearing glasses!” when one of the students arrived, and then one day I was the one. Cool for him to start with them!
Poor Hayden! He looks excited about it though. Isn’t it funny how kids get excited over things they end up dreading when they get older? School, glasses, etc. I was 4 when I got glasses so I was like Hayden and sported glasses to Kindergarten. He looks adorable in his specs!
Cute Hayden! I don’t have glasses yet, but it won’t be long . . . no more 20/20 for me. Two of my kids have them.
You’re lucky, Stephanie! (And I won’t ask how old you are 😉
I didn’t get em until the end of my senior year, AFTER soccer season… and when I finally got em, it was like WOAH, this is what the world looks like?!? Do you know HOW much easier it would have been to see that ball if I’d had them sooner? 🙂
I can’t wait to hear the “loading the kid on the bus for the first time” post!
