Glasses!

Sometimes when you're too close to something you just can't see it. In our case, we were a bit too hyperopic to notice Nora's myopia. Nora never said things were blurry or hard to see, and her squinting always just blended in with Nora's myriad of funny facial expressions. But one well timed remark can snap everything into focus. Jacqui was visiting this weekend, and after the girls came home from High Tea, she saw Nora squinting, and asked if Nora needs glasses. All of the sudden we saw Nora's squints in a whole new light, and a quick quiz about reading a few things across the room made it crystal clear that Nora is nearsighted. Elaine sprang to action, and set up an eye doctor appointment the next day, and by Wednesday Nora was sporting a brand new pair of pink and rainbow glasses.

For her part, Nora couldn't be more excited about this development. She was so excited the first night we told her that she might need glasses that she couldn't fall asleep. When she got her glasses on Wednesday, it was like Christmas came early. A cool fashion accessory that gives her the super power of crystal clear vision, what could be better! I could try to keep describing her enthusiasm, but it's probably best to just watch the video below and let Nora put it in her own words :-)
