No more 4 Eyes

Talmage got contacts!  He swore he would never get them, but after a bit of prodding from his parents :), he was willing to try out contacts.  His prescription is so strong that his contacts are really hard to order.  It took them a month to get the trial pair for him.  The saddest part is that because contacts don't correct vision as well as glasses he can't see as well with contacts.  His glasses don't even correct his vision to 20/20 so he wasn't very happy to have worse vision :(.  

Overall it has been great to see Talmage with contacts.  I have always loved his eyes and now that they aren't hiding behind his glasses they seem so bright!  His whole face seems more open.  

It's always nice to take a photo outside with more natural light :). 

The downside to this story is that Talmage lost a contact within a few days of having them :(.  They are expensive enough that I don't want to buy him more contacts when they don't correct his vision enough and they are hard to stay on his eyes.  At least we know that he was willing to wear them and that he looks great if he ever buys them himself ;).
