My Girl

Following in her father's footsteps, my six-year old daughter got her first pair of glasses today. I think she was as excited as when she got her ears pierced. It is another form of apparel, I suppose.

I was six and in kindergarten when I got my first spectacles. I do not have the same worries my parents had to have though. The fear of a football crashing and shattering the expensive eye wear is not the biggest concern in our household right now. We are more afraid of the Speedy Gonzales maneuvers of her three-year old sister.

I wasn't given much support at the doctor's office either. The energetic woman that assisted us smiled, while looking directly at me and said, "I will be seeing you soon."

We are all very happy for Emma.
