Salacious Kitty August 28, 2022 Share August 28, 2022 Giddy in glasses is new to us! She was off the Internet for six months, so I assume he got them then. I hope they're helping him make gains in his milestones. He had been assessed and found to be behind in some areas. I have a little boy in my class who wears glasses.

dargosmydaddy August 28, 2022 Share August 28, 2022 He's wearing them in a different picture from Carlin's stories (not at the airport). If they were Joy's glasses, I would think the novelty would wear off (also that they'd give him a headache from looking through prescription lenses that aren't his). And someone of Reddit posted a recent picture of Joy wearing her glasses, and they're not the same frames. I'm inclined to think they're actually Gideon's, although they do look big. Buy used and save the difference on frames? Or assume his prescription won't ever change and he'll grow into them?

Panopticon August 28, 2022 Share August 28, 2022 Maybe the big glasses were Giddy’s own choice? I know a kid who got her first glasses at a very young age. She absolutely was NOT having the toddler styles even though she was, in fact, a toddler. In the interest of not having an argument about the glasses every single day, her parents let her choose frames intended for an older child.

dargosmydaddy August 30, 2022 Share August 30, 2022 Meagan is the sister who's married to the Ballinger and has 3 kids; the youngest is the same age as Evy. The older half sister, Rachel, has the six A-named children, but they're spread out over 19 years. Joy seems close to Rachel and her oldest daughter (who is closer to Joy's age than Rachel is); I think they trained for some kind of marathon together awhile back? Rachel's youngest two kids are close in age to Gideon and Evy. The oldest half brother and his wife apparently had 5 kids in 6 years, with the youngest born in 2019.
