The optician gave me a little speech when I showed up with Meredith. It went something like this:
"Children Meredith's age don't have peer pressure. No kids her age can make fun of her for her glasses. So what we need to prioritize are durability, comfort, and effectiveness in staying on."
You can guess what that means...a friend said "it sounds like they could just use goggles." He was joking, but it's not too far from the truth! Luckily, Meredith is so adorable that she even looks cute in her new pink baby glasses:
She has been doing quite well with keeping the glasses on. She obviously isn't a huge fan, but we've found that after she pulls them off we can usually just put them back on and they stay on for a while. They have a strap around the back since her ears aren't really big enough to hold them up!
A game that Meredith has been enjoying lately is tilting her head to the side and having you imitate her. It never ceases to crack her up. This picture turned out really cute...
