The broken glasses debacle

 The kids were playing around with a beach ball and Nathan took one to the face. It snapped his earpiece right off his glasses! I called the eye doctor and luckily they were under warranty so we had to wait 7-10 days to get new frames. The very next day, his glasses fell onto the carpet (because he was trying to wear them with just one earpiece) and the OTHER earpiece snapped off!! Unbelievable! 

Now, he only had the lenses part and no way to wear his glasses for 7-10 days. His old pair we had were children's size and literally wouldn't fit on his head anymore. We tried! His head is too big!  So he tried different ways to keep his glasses on. 



First, he tried taping them to his face. This worked decently for just sitting and not moving around. 


                                                            

He experimented with different tapes which didn't work. Eventually he figured out a way to use pipe cleaners and scotch tape to wrap them around his head to keep them on!! He had to deal with this for over a week before we got his frames.
