She did not pass the eye exam with the lady that came to her preschool, so we went to see the eye doctor yesterday and they gave us a prescription and we took it to the eyeglass store today. Mia has been so excited about getting these glasses and so I was so glad that she had such a great outlook about it all. (pictures to come, they won't be ready for pickup for about a week)
As we were pulling into the parking lot, Mia told me that last night when she and Chloe were going to bed she was really scared about getting her glasses:
Me: Why were you scared? You have been so excited about this.
Mia: I was thinking that what if my friends don't recognize me when I'm wearing my glasses and what if people don't like me when I'm wearing them.
Me: Of course everyone will recognize you and everyone will love you in them. What made you feel better about it all?
Chloe pipes in: Well, I told her, "Mia, remember when our next door neighbor, Genevieve came over wearing her new glasses? Did we recognize her? Yeeeesss. And when Genevieve came over wearing her new glasses, did we still like her the same? Yeeeesss. So, Mia, it will be the same with you. Don't worry."
Mia: And it made me feel better.
Chloe is nodding the whole time like, "yep, I told her so."
I had no words. If I had talked, I might have started crying, it was so sweet.
Even with all the arguing they do sometimes and how different they can seem, they really do love each other.
Makes my heart melt.
