Matty, Matty, Matty. What ever will we do with you??

• 1st pair of glasses at age 2 (complete with scratch resistant lenses, flex frames, cable temples and saddle bridge) - $500
• new lenses for 1st pair of glasses just 2 months later (after finding out eye dr. #1 got prescription wrong) - $200
• 2nd pair of glasses at age 2 (1st pair is in the Bermuda Triangle somewhere) - $99
• 3rd pair of glasses at age, um, 2 1/2 (forgive me for not remembering what happened to pair #2) - $150
• 4th pair of glasses at age 4 (pair # 3 came up missing - later to be found) - $150
• 5th pair of glasses at age 4 (lost pair #4 somewhere in Grpa Leithead's yard months after we bought them) - $40
• 6th pair of glasses at age 4 (pair #5 has been missing for 5 days) - $$ unknown - yet to be purchased :)
• my little girls vision - expensive - i mean PRICELESS!

This little girl has had more pairs of glasses in the last two years than I have had in my entire life. We have formed search parties, retraced steps, checked lost and founds, combed through grass in backyards, dug through bags and bags of nasty rotten garbage, and unbolted toilets from bathroom floors. We have had countless adventures, our family and Matty's many pairs of glasses.

Needless to say, I have started to buy the most inexpensive glasses I can find for those beautiful blue eyes. Her last pair was purchased at Wal-Mart for 40 bucks, they were a little too big for her face, and they definitely weren't built to last. But why in the heck would she need glasses built to last when she can't keep a pair for more than six months?? I wonder if they make GPS systems for glasses. hmmmmm.....

Luckily we have an appointment scheduled next week with her new eye doctor. We will have her eyes checked for any changes, and then we will be off to search for a bargain on yet another pair of glasses. Seriously, child.
