Glasses for Hannah

Last year at Hannah's eye doctor appointment, they told her she was borderline on needing glasses, so I figured there was a good chance she would need them this year.  When I tried to talk to her about it in advance to prepare her for the possibility of glasses, she was not happy at all.  In fact, the last time I attempted to talk to her about them (2 weeks ago), she yelled at me that I was "freaking her out" and could I "please stop talking about it" before shutting herself in her room and refusing to come out until I dropped it.  Well okay then.  I had an eye doctor appointment right around that time so I was at least able to warn Dr. Fiddler that she was not going to be happy about needing glasses.  I brought her a little early, hoping that we could look at how cute they were and she'd come around but she refused to even discuss it when we got there and I had paperwork to fill out (plus a hungry baby) so I let it go.  Dr. Fiddler checked her eyes and gave me the sign that she was going to need glasses.  No big surprise.  We finished everything else in the appointment before he broke the news to her, quickly adding that there were lots of cute glasses to choose from and she only had to wear them to read things at a distance, like the whiteboard at school.  He said that it was funny that she didn't want them because glasses are "in" right now and he has a lot of kids disappointed that they don't need them.  Anyway, she looked a tiny bit upset but quickly rallied as he took her out to show her the options.  Once she found out that she was going to be allowed to pick out any pair she wanted (and her sister wanted them but couldn't have them), she definitely perked up.  By the time she narrowed it down from 6 choices to her favorite pair, she was actually pretty excited.  They are purplish pink rounded off rectangle wire frames with plastic sides pieces that have flowers and a butterfly.  She loved them and spent the rest of the week asking when they would come in.  They finally came in today and we went over to pick them up.  Here she is (Hailey looks less than thrilled because she is still upset that she can't have glasses, although I assured her in this family she will definitely need them eventually - she even asked if we'd buy her a pair for her birthday):

She is excited to show all her friends and teachers at school on Monday!
