These days, Lio's favorite color is purple, and he's into the glitz factor of jewels. Love this about him, but not so sure how it would translate to a pair of glasses. For him. We went to the eye doctor yesterday after his teacher mentioned he had trouble seeing some words from across the room. I really didn't think he was going to need any, so was super surprised when the exam was over and the doctor gave me a prescription for his nearsightedness!
We looked at some frames for a bit, and he was very attracted to the purple, shiny, gemstone studded glasses...that I'm pretty sure are for girls. I wish that I could let him choose what he loves, but he's so nervous about wearing glasses and all of the attention (good and bad) that he's going to get. Getting teased about his flashy girl glasses would not help.
We're going to go later to pick out some frames - and hopefully steer him towards some cool glasses that are a bit more subtle. For a kid that wants to blend in, that's probably the best bet for now.
Oh, and if you do see him in his new glasses, maybe comment on how smart and great he looks, but in private. He would be super embarrassed if a big deal was made out of them in front of a lot of people.

Yes, I agree that he is a little too shy to pull off the Elton John look! Once he sees (pun intended) how much better his eyesight is, he will be psyched. Our doctor told us to put the glasses on first thing in the morning so that the brain can adjust.....this will cut down on the potential headaches.
