Abbi and her new look....

Abbi has been counting down the days til she could get her contacts.  Our stipulation was that she must wear her glasses for one year.  I know what a pain glasses can be, I have been wearing them since elementary school, blah. She is 10 and very mature for her age, so yesterday was the day she had been waiting for.


Abbi making cookies, before contacts.

Looking very serious during her contact lens instruction.


Figuring out the "right" side of the lens.


Trying to get that slippery little lens in there.  It took a little practice...


More practice.....

And she did it!!  Glasses free.  She is so excited and taking better care of them then I do of mine :)



Hope your summer is going well :)

I had contacts at one time.. This was the time that the solution for cleaning them had a perservative called Thimersol. Well, lo and behold, I am allergic to that. I got ulcers in both eyes. It was horrible. Now, that make the solution Thimersol-free but my eyes are worse now and would not get 20/20 vision with contacts so I keep my glasses!! LOL. I hope she enjoys them.
