1/4/06 - A Whole New World

Eva finally got her new glasses, and seems to be enjoying her new view of the world. It's too soon yet to tell if the glasses will help break her habit of crossing her eyes to see things up close, but we're hopeful. The hardest part is keeping them on. She's supposed to wear them every waking hour, but she keeps grabbing them off her face and chewing on them. Then I have to clean them and put them back on her. They have rubber frames, so they're safe to put in her mouth, but they have a soft band that goes behind her head and threatens to wrap around her neck when she pulls her glasses. And when she lays on her back, the glasses get bumped forward because the side pieces are too long. This also happens in her car seat and high chair - anytime there's something behind her head. It's next to impossible for her to wear them while nursing, or when she's tired and keeps rubbing her eyes. This is already a huge pain in the butt, and it's only been the first day. I know the constant on-again, off-again is hard on her eyes and probably giving her a headache.
