New Glasses!

I took Tyler in to his pediatrician for his well check before heading off to kindergarten this year, and she had us go see an opthamologist. (Not just the 'vision center' people in WalMart). He checked Tyler and informed us that Tyler really hasnt been able to see out of his right eye, basically AT ALL, since birth!! Poor baby!!! We had NO idea! Tyler has compensated so well using his left eye! So we went store to store looking for glasses. I completely understand that glasses are expensive, and kids glasses are a double whammy because you go through them so fast. Tyler was very unhappy about the idea of having to wear glasses, so the search for the 'fun' perfect pair began. But Joel and I both were in agreement, if he likes the frames, that's half the battle. We went to Sears, and the very first pair the guy put on him, Tyler totally loved! He actually asked about them first thing the following morning! We went back to Sears, got a pretty good deal on TWO pair of glasses and warranty, and ordered them! Well, we got a call tonight that they were in! We headed to the mall to get his glasses! He was excited and resistant all at the same time! But for the last 2 hours, he has only asked to take them off a few times, but has generally left them on most of the time, and I think he even sometimes 'forgets' they're on! Anyway, long story short, here are some pics of our little guy in his new glasses
