Quincy Gets Glasses



Could she get any cuter?!  Quincy saw the optometrist today and was very excited to get glasses.  Her eye appointment was eye opening for ME as I’ve never been to an optometrist. The whole process was facinating. I felt awful as she named off almost every letter on a few of the lines wrong, and then, like magic, the doctor adjusted the rx on the lens she was looking through and she read the same line of letters all correctly, not even realizing it was the same slide. I was like “holy cow! She really can’t see!” And the doctor just looked at me like, “uh yah. That’s kind of the point of what we do here.” 
 Oops! I just could not fathom not being able to read something. I felt immediately grateful for science and the gift of incredible brains and the hardworking people who invented machinery and devices to test and correct her vision. Totally amazing. 


And while I’ve got Q in the spotlight here, how about her sense of fashion? I am loving the outfits she’s been putting together lately. Everything she’s wore today was a hand me down from friends or Reese, or purchased second hand from a Rhea Lana sale. And yet she totally rocks a style of her own.  You keep being you, beautiful girl. I love you! 


I made zero influence on her choice of frames. I decided that Quincy should get to pick out Quincy’s face. So she tried on everything from wire frames (which she immediately ruled out for discomfort) to cat eyes.  Body bright blue and black, green, veregated translucent purples, pink zebra, and emerald green. She finally settles on a turtley brown with a dusty coral  on the inside. I’m really kind of surprised she ended up choosing such a neutral option! She loves them and I love that cute face...even more now with specs on.

I adore her and I giggled at the sarcastic optometrist.
