The Davies Tribe Spectacles Parade!

At last I have surfaced from a week of medical appointments, school trips & performances, an emergency visit to the doctors for Timmy due to a bee sting on his mouth & a rather nasty cough & cold that saw me take to my bed & sleep A LOT (unheard of for me!!). Phew!! I feel all in a muddle & there's only 4 days of the school year left! so much to do, so little time (or energy!!).
Anyway, back to business! As I mentioned, about a hundred years ago (as Timmy would say!), Timmy & Luke got glasses because the school eye sight test showed that they were practically blind!!!!!!! A further more detailed test at Alder Hey Hospital revealed that things weren't all that bad but that they did need glasses as they are long sighted & have a stigmatism. They LOVE their new Sponge Bob glasses (no we don't watch the programme, the boys just liked the styles!). They look very cute don't you think?
Wearing glasses goes way back for the boys. This is Cool Dude Timothy aged 6 months wearing Jordan's sunglasses!
And this is Cool Dude Luke aged 3 years wearing Lee's sunglasses .
Jordan also had to have an eye test as his teacher rang me to say she was concerned because Jordan seemed to be having difficulty reading his lines for the school play. Turns out that Jordan is short sighted but not quite bad enough to need glasses..... yet! He has to go back for another test in 6 months.... Jordan really liked the Action Man glasses though! ;o)
He has always enjoyed wearing glasses too! Here is Cool Dude Jordan aged 5 wearing his own sunglasses! Can you see Timmy in the lens reflection? Not sure who the other one is- looks too dark to be Luke but I suppose it must be him!!
And Annie- Joy couldn't be left out could she? She loved trying on all the glasses in the opticians once she got the hang of how to put them on!!
And the little girl in the mirror kept her entertained for quite some time while we waited for Jordan to have his eyes tested! What fun eh?
Hope all who read are well. Do drop us a line if you're reading this- it's always good to hear from you! Bye for now! :o)
