When I took Cam to his seven-year-old check up, he had an eye check up where the nurse mentioned there was a little chance Cameron might need glasses. So… I waited because I didn’t think it was a big deal.

I was wrong.

Cam and I were sitting on the edge of his bed last week when I asked him what time it was on his clock… And he couldn’t see it. He really couldn’t see it. Enter: Mommy guilt. We should have gone back in April. But we went last week. He got the full eye check complete with dilation and everything. The diagnosis: He has a pretty pronounced astigmatism and nearsightedness. Poor buddy.

He’s proud and excited about the chance to really see!! I am too. I can’t wait for the glasses to arrive… I’m keeping my fingers crossed they get here soon.

To add to this… I have to wonder if a bunch of his challenges at school this past year were because Cameron couldn’t see and focus on his work. I’m really looking forward to the coming school year. I’d love to see if glasses help him.
