It really was time to look for glasses suitable for a child with Down's syndrome.
Yes, I admit it, I have been putting off getting Natty's first pair of glasses. I wasn't convinced by the initial hospital prescription as he reads well and can see the board at school quite happily.

So we sought a second opinion and, although the prescription is slight, it was felt that Natty's eyes might get less tired if she wore glasses. She'd be able to concentrate more easily at school and will be less tired (and let's face it grumpy) at the tail end of the day.
So, off we trotted, I with outdated views of what NHS glasses looked like back when I was at school and Natty excited about dressing up and trying on a variety of hilarious disguises (I expect).
