Glasses for Adam

Tonight Adam had an appointment with the eye doctor and our little guy is getting glasses. We had no idea he was having any issues with his sight until last Thursday. Adam was reading all about the adventures of Flat Adam that Tracy wrote for his class. He kept holding the papers in front of his face and his teacher would say, "Adam, we want to see your face! Lower the paper!" And he would...for a little while and slowly it would creep back up. She called me that afternoon, I made an appointment for him and sure enough, he's far-sighted.

His doctor said his teacher is astute, and I agree. Adam does a vocabulary assignment each week in which he finds a word in the book he's reading that he doesn't know, uses context clues to guess the meaning, and then looks it up in the dictionary. I don't think Mrs. B will mind if he looks up a word from his eye doctor, especially if it describes her!

Thank you Tracy for the wonderful report! The class loved it and ... it helped us realize that Adam needs glasses! Little did you know how important Flat Adam would be!

I'll follow up later this week with a picture of Adam in his new glasses! He looks handsome!!!
