Well, it was the routine Vision Screen in Kindergarten that alerted us! (We thought her vision was great!) The school nurse suggested we take her to the doctor for a more thorough exam.
Good thing we did!
Astigmatism in both eyes and she might need a patch! The optometrist even referred us to the ophthalmologist! Yikes. So we went right down and got her some glasses. She chose some PINK ones. The lady helping us said her prescription was really thick, so we should go with more round frames. Yes, THICK GLASSES!
BEFORE:
"Tatum... where are your glasses?"
or
"Go get your glasses!"
or
"Carly! Put those down! Those are Tatum's!
She tells me,
"Well, I'm going to get them on right after ________ "(fill in the blank)
or
"Mom, I just don't like to wear them!"
It's a big change for her (and me!) but she looks super cute and heck- she will see better! It's only a matter of TIME before they get broken or lost, right?!~~~ (sigh!)

Duffy wore a patch in Kindergarten. Patches are COOL!
