Cal's glasses and band |
Before we started this first day of glasses I looked up some helpful articles on getting toddlers to wear glasses and our day has been much better than I thought it would be based on his shrieking last night when we tried them on. We got a sports strap from a sporting goods store and this morning I made a stickers chart for motivation. Every time he wears his glasses for one “thing” he gets a sticker and he earns a sticker for Clark. I figured this might provide a little peer pressure for him to wear the glasses too.
He kept his glasses on A L L through breakfast! |

Um, he looks awesome in his classes...
ReplyDeleteHe really does look awesome. I'm so used to seeing him in them that now he looks wrong when he's not wearing them. What a good little glasses-wearer.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a good mother! How smart to look online for pictures of kids wearing glasses, to find books of toddlers with glasses, and to do the motivational sticker chart. Seriously, I'll need to pick your brain more often as Henry gets older and older...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth! You can pick my brain anytime and I'll do my best to help. If you haven't already, and especially as Henry gets older, fall in love with our library (not that I'm condoning their storytime. Bleh.)and their great online kids' catalog and holding process. I was amazed at how many books there are about getting glasses! I hope your baby-food-making adventure is going well!
