Spencer's Sight

Spencer told us in church a few weeks ago that he couldn't see the hymn numbers up in front. So I took him to the eye doctor. He had a very mild prescription, and only needs to wear them during class. I was not surprised. I had to wear glasses when I was 11, and Shayne started when he was 10. Spencer is only 8, so I guess I didn't think it would be so soon-the eye doctor said that the eyes change usually with every growth spurt-so I figure he probably will only use these glasses for 8 months or so. So I gave him the options from the cheapest frames. And he chose these. I think he actually looks pretty cute. He does not seem to be at all concerned with how he looks or worried what others will think. Partly his being a boy, partly his personality, and partly being 8. I had very very different feelings about my glasses- and tried hard to avoid being seen in them. I'm glad I don't have to deal with what my parents had to with me and my glasses.
This video of Spencer is pretty typical of him-he's a funny kid, but it is embedded through utube, so don't watch any of the randomly selected other videos it offers after ours.
