his vision is now 20/250

Recently I've become better known as "Andrew's Dad." Andrew is my four-year-old. And he's a rock star. Seems like everywhere we go people flock toward Andrew--"Hey, there's Andrew!...Yo! Andrew! What's up?...Andrew! Hey man! How's it going?" It's all about Andrew.

He can walk through the lobby at church and create quite a stir. He's one of those kids with a magnetic personality. Never met a stranger. And...absolutely everything that enters his little brain makes its way out of his mouth. Scary sometimes (if you haven't heard the Djibouti story yet, ask me about it the next time you see me--hysterical).

Back to the matter at hand. Well, if you haven't seen Andrew recently (like, within the last week), you wouldn't know that he now sports a sweet pair of Harley-Davidson eyeglasses.

Turns out he needed them. Apparently the poor guy couldn't see anything very well and we had no idea. Hey, if you thought he was cute before glasses, wait till you see him now! The eye doc told us he's 20/40 in one eye and 20/60 in the other. Unbelievable. I can only imagine how the visual world has opened up to him within the past week.

Anyway, remember, I said Andrew mouth always blurts out the thoughts in his head...well, when the optician placed Andrew's eyeglasses on his face for the first time last Friday, the first words out of his mouth were: "I can see!" The second thing out of his mouth? He turned toward me and said, "Wow! You're fat!"

Thankyouverymuch.
