My oldest daughter is joining the world of the bespectacled.
We knew it was inevitable. She's got two parents and four grandparents who are all glasses or contacts wearers. She didn't stand a chance.
Today, she was diagnosed with astigmatism. That's when she manifests the signs of the Passion, right?
She's been showing symptoms for probably a year now, and I take responsibility for just thinking she was developing lazy habits. She'd lower her head and look upward to view straight in front of her. She did this when watching TV or playing on the computer (I originally typed "working on the computer," but that didn't look right, no matter how my head was tilted). So I'm pretty much feeling like Dad Of The Year right now for waiting so long on that.
To her credit, Kaylyn is excited about wearing glasses. She'll be the first in her class to have a pair.
Let's see if she feels the same way in a couple years when she gets fitted for braces*
*for crooked teeth, as compared to for her legs or back.
