- KATHARINE...THIS ONE'S FOR YOU! -

yep, kiara got new glasses today - she's actually, we've thought for awhile that she needed glasses, so i took her last week to the eye dr. - he said yes, she needed them as she's far sighted & has a astigmatism - she picked these out all by herself as she said, "i want these & i know my cousin katharine will like 'em because she has a pair just like it...YEAH, that's the one!" - she was so excited, but they said they wouldn't be ready until april 6 [when i'm in haiti], so i told her that we'd get them as soon as i got back - they said they'd try & get them in sooner, but middle of next week would be the soonest - well, this morning they called & said to come pick them up! - she couldn't get in the van fast enough - she said, "mommy, will you blog me so all your friends can see my new glasses?" - hope you all enjoy...she sure is!

see katharine, she really looks up to you, because you're such a polite young lady & you treat her so well [thank you!]

rebekah, karleigh & ruby both wanted to get 'their glasses' today too & i explained to them that over the summer break, i'd bring them in for testing, but i didn't think they were going to need glasses - all of a sudden karleigh gets this look on her face [sad frown] & said, "i REALLY need glasses mommy, because you know what? - i'm blind like my friend hannah...you know mommy, the friend of ours that can't see & uses her CI stick [i was trying at this point NOT to loose it & laugh at her]" - i said, "karleigh you're not blind & you don't need glasses right now" - she said, "well, i think i'm gonna go to hannah's eye dr next time, because he'll tell you i'm blind...COZ I AM!!" [then, talking to herself, i hear this] "gosh, i really want to be blind so i can get glasses"
