I noticed when he was coming in the house the one lens looked a little weird I thought that maybe it looked like that because it was cold, and could have gotten wet from the snow, but as I looked at again I noticed he was missing a lens. I said Preston your missing a lens! He started to laugh for moment and said oh mom how long will it take to get a new lens? He has another pair of glasses just in case of reasons like this, but he said they didn&rsquo;t feel right! I told him fine he didn&rsquo;t have to wear the other pair but he would have to go to school like that with a missing lens until we are able to get him a new one. It was a good thing that the lens that was missing was of his stronger eye! </span></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#39;Lucida Sans&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;;">Preston was worried that he would get made fun of at school I told him that kids might not even notice inside the class so don&rsquo;t mention it and see what happens if they do just tell them what happened, but we know how kids can be! I told him it wouldn&rsquo;t be that long before getting the new lens.</span></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#39;Lucida Sans&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;;">Preston&rsquo;s friend Evan, his father and his sister came over and they all went outside and built an igloo in our front yard it was a great one! Took his mind off of losing his lens. </span></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#39;Lucida Sans&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;;">The next day at school only a couple of kids noticed his lens and didn&rsquo;t tease him, I was able to get him a new one the next day!</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
