Also, He's Handsome Max--Now Featuring New Glasses

A few weeks ago we finally found a resolution for Max's looking at us cross-eyed all the time. It turns he couldn't see and was going cross-eyed just trying to get us into focus. At first we thought he was just playing around so we'd tell him, rather sternly, not to cross his eyes (which he would repeat back to us at random moments, whether our eyes were crossed or not). But, as he never seemed to stop doing it, we decided an opthamologist appointment was in order.

Since he's still only learning his ABC's, the traditional eye chart was of only limited use. Instead, they had him read on a more age appropriate chart:

They dilated his eyes and were able to look into them with the magic eye scope thingy which is also used to examine diamonds and a clear ruler of some kind and discern what his prescription needed to be since the traditional "Which is better #1 or #2?" was also of limited value on a nervous, and silent, 3-year-old.

He's going to have to wear his glasses for several years, but they say that he may grow out of needing to wear them when his super vision kicks in...or something like that.

Here are some nice pics of Mr. Max and how handsome he looks with his new glasses:
