When N got home from school yesterday he had a bunch of papers to give me. One was an envelope. I always get nervous when I see those notices with the parent names on the outside. It surely can’t be good. N is a good student, very bright, but prone to silliness and lack of focus in class. So I opened up the envelope to see what delightful news awaited me. What did I find?

N had his hearing and vision screening on Monday. He failed the vision test. They believe he needs glasses. His vision is testing at 20/50. *sigh* So I called and made an appointment for him at the optometrist at the end of the month. My son is falling apart. First the retainer and teeth extraction, now glasses. I think I’m going to keep him home when they do the scoliosis check. Do they even do those anymore? I remember having them done when I was in school.

So anyway, add another bill to my son’s upkeep. My husband and I were talking about how at least most of this stuff is happening while he’s still in grade school. I mean N is going from being one of the cool kids to being one of the glasses and retainer geeks. Not really, LOL, I’m just kidding about calling my son a geek. My husband did say that to him at the dinner table last night though and N just shrugged his shoulders and said “Dad, I’ll always be cool.” That’s my boy.
