I am going to look so good without my glasses, Mom

That's what all his friends say. So I guess the contacts were a self -esteem issue. I had forgotten how bad I hated to wear my glasses.But you have to give me a break it was only 1/4 of a century ago.
Although lenses today are not meant to be. The doctor ordered one right lens and two left ones to try out. He thought that the left one was going to be hard to fit. After 45 minutes of trying to get them in, the left one fit perfectly but we are going to need to wait for a different sized right one to be ordered. Now hopefully the right one will fit when it gets in.
On the ride home Mason said very sadly, " I don't think contacts are right for me." I thought my heart would break. What a struggle for my poor boy to have to deal with the self-esteem issue of wearing glasses versus the fear of putting contacts in his eyes. I am guessing he is going to overcome his fear though, he is already talking about the next time we go to the eye doctors.

You'll have to post a picture when he finally gets his contacts worked out!
