I remember it like it was yesterday. I was nearing the end of second grade. I was having trouble seeing. Mom took me to the eye doctor.
Diagnosis? Eyeglasses.
Dorky ones at that. And, the day after Mom sent me back to school with my new glasses, I was promptly kicked in the face during a kick-ball event at Field Day. How did my new glasses fare? Broke into 2 pieces.
Fast forward 32 years. I'm now the mother of a second-grader-turned-almost-third-grader. My child is sent to the nurse's office after she complains that she can't see the board. We visit the eye doctor. Diagnosis?
Eyeglasses.
Lucky for Priya eyeglasses are in style nowadays. When I was in second grade glasses were....um...NOT in style so much.
But, Priya? Well, maybe I'm prejudice. But, I think she looks precious. And the fact that she's following in her mama's footsteps at the exact same age is...well...heart-warming.
Even if it does involve diminishing eyesight. :-)
So glad you can see clearly now, sweetheart.

Those are very cool glasses! She looks great!
She does look precious!
I was in the fourth grade. It was traumatic. I was the only kid in my grade with glasses. I stopped wearing them and suffered through headaches and missed assignments for the sake of vanity.
Elijah had to get glasses in kindergarten. No big deal for him, and you're right; tons of kids with glasses these days!
You look great, Priya!
PURPLE glasses! Great choice Priya! They look awesome above your glowing smile :0)
