Happiness is...

being able to see what you're doing.

Here's a layout about when my son Chris first got his glasses and just how helpful they were to him with school work. His prescription is VERY strong. When he first got them he would stare at the lines between the fake tile in out kitchen. I'm pretty sure he had never seen them before that!


Journaling reads: Before you had your glasses you would get tired of practising your letters after only a few minutes. The 1st 2 days you had them you were practising for hours.

I'm entering this into the Hero Arts Back to School challenge.

Fabulous layout! Having been severely hampered in my sight too when I was younger you are right! He didn't realize what he was missing before he got his glasses. How cute is he!!! Love the layout too!
