shining, shimmering, splendid! Tell me princess, now why did you only just put me on your face? I can open your eyes. Take you wonder by wonder. Over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride!” This is the song I sang to L. the whole way home from LensCrafters after she got her first pair of glasses. The song was supposed to be the glasses singing to her. I changed a few lyrics. Sure, some of the syllables have to be rushed through, but whatever. It makes total sense.
Anyway, she was thrilled. Putting them on, off, on, off: “I can read the sign. I can’t read the sign. I can see the clock. I can’t see the clock.” There was a lot of that happening. She no longer has to sit with her nose glued to the television screen to watch a show. She can see all the various lumps and bumps in her yogurt (a new discovery that doesn’t have me particularly thrilled. She is a food-investigator.). She’ll read the blackboard without scooting her chair close. She can see the outlining of leaves on the trees and each one of Gracie’s single hairs. It’s a whole new world! And that is why I sang the song.
She looks beautiful and those are such a cool glasses:) Sweet post

Seeing all the leaves on the trees is what I remember about getting glasses. They look great!
She looks ADORABLE in them! Really, they look great on her! I remeber when I got glasses for the first time around age 8 or 9 – I had TERRIBLE vision and my parents didn't even know it, but after I got those glasses, it really WAS a WHOLE NEW WORLD!!
i was totally singing the Beauty and the Beast songs this weekend while I was baking! "try the grey stuff, it's delicious! don't believe me? ask the dishes!" ah. disney. and the glasses are adorable!
i love glasses. and that song. you're a really good mom.
Lovely glasses:) Such a good Mom, to make her feel so special:)
I didn't realize it was possible to see the leaves on trees until I got glasses. So sweet! Little Linds is growing up so fast!
haha this is awesome. when i was younger, i was jealous of my brother who had glasses and told my mom everyday that i wanted them. what do you know, i now have horrible vision and he no longer needs glasses.
oh the wonders of life!
That is exactly how I felt when I got my first pair of glasses!! Life was in high-definition!
LOVING her glasses!
linds looks super cute. tell her i said so and i'll say it again when i see her next week.
Can't wait to meet her! 🙂
also tell her that when she tires of them in her 20's she can just get lasik. take after her mom's coolest friend.
Aw yes! I can completely relate. That was me in about third grade when I first got glasses except hers are much more stylish than mine were. Good choice :]
She looks beautiful and i love the glasses!
Awww cute!
They look so good on her!
And that's a very appropriate song! haha I like it!
absolutely adorable and i love the song…
when my son got his glasses, he was amazed at the things he couldn't see before….and so happy to see them now. i got my glasses in first grade and totally remember the feeling….but i didn't look nearly as good in my glasses as your gal does 🙂
love
She looks so cute with these glasses – and i love the song you sang to her to make the day special!
i remember when i got my first pair of glasses when i was nine. i was so stoked. girls with glasses RULE. 😉
now i can't stop singing that song. it's a good one.
