Evan's been asking for a pair for over 2 years and is very bummed to hear after each eye exam that his vision is 20/20 and he does not need glasses. Though I firmly believe that will not always be the case (I'm totally Mr. Magoo w/o my glasses or contacts and Frank wears glasses for watching movies or driving).<BR/><BR/>Maybe the little words don't offer TB the challenge he needs/wants. Can you come up with some way of cajoling him into reading easier sight words w/the reward of learning a new, larger word (something that's sure to impress)? Just a thought.Mischttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555653990754670849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559876284991347123.post-84166636232508685382008-12-01T22:00:00.000-06:002008-12-01T22:00:00.000-06:00When I was in 3rd grade I wanted glasses.

I got bored.<BR/><BR/>So, my mom thought... maybe it's her eyes. Yeah, perfect 20/20 vision. Then she just had to beat my ass to pay attention more. But man, with my family's blind as a bat genetic code, you'd think I wouldn't have had to wait until I suffered a concussion/head trauma at 16 to need them. <BR/><BR/>Here's to hoping that his reading is all about the vision. That's easy to fix, even if it's a pain to keep glasses from being broken at that age.SunnyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899150174103143277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559876284991347123.post-45097948111615015512008-12-01T21:36:00.000-06:002008-12-01T21:36:00.000-06:00Or he is blind as a bat and can't see the little w...Or he is blind as a bat and can't see the little word. We'll find out tomorrow. Honestly, I don't want him to have to have glasses (what a PITA that would be) but I want there to be a REASON why he can't read, beyond his own stubbornness.The Fearless Freakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060653763011412692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559876284991347123.post-43774717460100927972008-12-01T21:32:00.000-06:002008-12-01T21:32:00.000-06:00He doesn't feel like humoring you with the simple ...He doesn't feel like humoring you with the simple words.
