50% smarter

A few weeks ago, Blake told me he couldn't see very well when he read books. He also frequently complained of headaches. I figured he needed to get glasses. Off we go to the eye dr. who tells me at the end of the exam that Blake can see just fine, but perhaps needs the glasses as a sort of ego booster. Considering our insurance covers one pair of glasses per year, we figured we would go ahead and get our older middle child some symbolic attention- a way of carving himself out of the fray (he's the only one who wears glasses so far).

Today we picked up his glasses (I think he looks rather dashing) and he announced that indeed he reads better and is 50% smarter! Well...great!
