So we did get up to the optician's in Southlake with Jamie before they closed at noon. We tried a few pairs of glasses on him. My, that's a different experience now - the first time, I was having to hold him and pin down his arms while the lady tried to put glasses on him and hold the mirror so I might see. This time he gave no objections and left the glasses on. Wow.

We settled on a sturdy plastic pair this time. The guy says certainly they won't be Jamie-proof either, but we'll see if that does any better. He figured Jamie would manage to break the twist-metal ones. These don't have separate nose pads, so that's one less thing for him to bend or break. They're brown, with little subtle yellow duck outlines. I liked him in blue, but better to go with something they had on hand, and the brown looked good on him too. They'll have to make new lenses for them, and once again they'll be special ordering those, first thing Monday. So he should have glasses again on Tuesday or Wednesday hopefully.

Then I shall have to update this icon

I don't know if they're available small enough for Jamie, but you might try looking for sport glasses. I haven't looked for them recently, but they're incredibly flexible (in demos, the salesperson took them and literally twisted the frames 180 degrees around the nose), and designed to pop the lenses out and let you pop them back in. The first time someone tried to sell them to me, it was for me to wear in junior high gym class.

Did they make you pay for the frames? (I hope not!)

And yay that he held still for them this time! Hope for the future longevity on 'em.
