These Glasses aren't just for Fashion...they're better to see you with!

A few weeks ago, Lily Grace went for her annual eye exam.  It was determined that she was a little nearsighted.  At the end of the exam, I realize what's coming.  The doctor turns to Lily Grace and me and gently says, "I would go ahead and put her in glasses."  Now mind you, she says this somewhat cautiously. I'm guessing that her tone is in an effort to break it to LG.  Little did she know, that this girl has been obsessed with fashion glasses for about a year, wearing several different styles for any and every occasion.  I on the other hand was a little caught off guard as Gracie has always had such good eyesight.  I'm also thinking to myself, wait for it, wait for it....and there it is!!!  This huge smiles comes across LG's face and she is thrilled.  
With eyes dilated, she tried on several pairs in search of the perfect pair of glasses.  That didn't happen.  It was hard for her to see and I think it was little overwhelming.  We left and went home to talk it over as a family and searched the web for ideas on what it was she was after.  With  a few key points in mind, we went back to the eye doctor the next day in search of glasses.  Now that she could see and with a few ideas, we found the perfect pair. They are quite adorable and Gracie looks as cute as a button.  
You can "see," she wears them well.  
This pair was a contender.  She loved the pink color and shape.  After a little thought, she realized that after a few months,she may get tired of seeing this color on her face.
Another possibility
Getting closer to finding the right one 
And the winner is....a little oversized tortoise frame with a light pink inside
A week later, one excited little girl went to pick up her new glasses after school.

So excited!  So adorable!!!!!  She couldn't wait to get to the car and FaceTime her daddy.  We also went straight to Vera Bradley for a cute eyeglass case.

On her first day of school with her new glasses, she asked to have her hair curled and couldn't wait to get to school and show her teacher as classmates her new look.
