Javad and his big man glasses

Last friday, Javad got his very first pair of glasses. A few weeks ago, we got his eyes checked and found that his vision was VERY bad! We knew that his vision wasn't super, since he had a habit of bringing things about 3 inches in front of his eyes whenever he wants to see anything.

We were not really prepared for how bad his vision was. We have been told that his vision is 20/800 or 20/1000. Holy cow! The eye doctor says that he cannot even see the big E on the eye chart. Wow! I guess my little astigmatism shouldn't be complained about...Oh, he has that too!

So, as I was saying on friday he got his new glasses. What a difference they have made. He wears them all the time, from morning to night. He watched movies (and cartoons) from across the room. He waves down the hall, smiles when people come into the room. He loves riding in the car and is constantly pointing at things. It's great to watch. Javad's world has opened up to him. What a difference this will make in school...now that he can actually see the board! :)

I will post some pictures of him in his big man glasses very soon!

Javad continues to do well. Last friday we had his eyes checked. I don't know what his vision is...20/ really crummy! Needless to say, two pair of glasses have been ordered and a very cute boy (okay, cuter boy) will emerge next week. It will be interesting to see what he thinks, sice we can determine that he can't really see right now and he will be able to see when he gets the glasses!

Also, next week we are going to visit the MDA camp which Javad will be eligible to attend next year. Hopefully, we will post pictures of all these events by next week! We shall see!

Sweetness

Javad is so sweet. Today we stayed home together. He got a big boy haircut, lost another tooth, went to Home Depot with David and I, then came home to crash at 6:30! What a big boy. It's hard to believe that someone could be so loved!
