Kimball's new glasses

Most of you know that Kimball wears glasses. He has done so since he was 14 months old (he's now almost 3). Surprisingly, from day 1, he always wore them with no problem. He LIKED his glasses. Well, on our trip to Utah, this past June, Kimball lost his glasses. Bummer.

So, I just picked up his new ones today. ($150 dollars later). And he didn't want to wear them!!!! How do you get your almost-3-yr-old to wear and KEEP his glasses on ????!

Bribe him with Ice Cream!!

(of course, now as I am typing this, he has since taken his glasses back off . . . he finished his ice cream . . . so no need to wear them anymore, I guess. Grrrrr)

So . . . the big question is . . . what do you think about the new color & style?? I'm not so sure about them. I let the lady at the store talk me into getting dark grey instead of white. And I decided to try the rectangle shaped frames instead of oval, like he had last time. But I think that this new color/style seems like I'm trying to make him like a trendy "little man," instead of a little boy. So, I need your opinion, because I MIGHT be able to go back and switch them.

Which ones do you like better??

You Know You Live in TEXAS when . . .

1. . . . you wake up (at 7:30) in the morning and it's so humid outside that all of the house windows are covered with condensation, like you just got out of a hot shower.
2. . . your 2 year old has "summer callous" on his heels and it's only April.
3. . . . half of your friends at church are out of town for all of July & August to escape the heat
4. . . . it starts HAILING during the middle of a 95 degree afternoon. Oh, wait . . . what??! Um, yeah. That really happened. Yesterday. Quarter-sized hail. 2 minutes before it happened, we were swimming in our neighbors pool. Completely bizarre.
