great "glasses" party idea.

Credit for these ideas goes to Rachel of "Playing House" which we adore. Her little Lily, only two-and-a-half years old, now needs to wear full-time, prescription glasses. So to help the transition into wearing them go smoothly, they threw a "glasses party!"
Here are some of the great things we did:
1. Every guest got to help blow out the heavily candled cake (that happened to be wearing glasses). Rachel even lit it twice for the kids, because we all know that's the best part of any party. Notice; even the milk-cartons were wearing glasses.
2. Each child brought a favorite stuffed animal and we made glasses for them from the items-formally-known-as -pipe-cleaners.
3. Rachel put out a bunch of coloring books and markers for us to draw glasses on the characters.
4. By the end, all the kids wanted to have cool glasses like Lily, so the mommies had fun fashioning stylish pairs for their kiddos.
This was an absolutely fabulous party! If we ever encounter a need for spectacles, we will surely celebrate!

What a great idea to celibrate an even that can be a challenge. I got my first pair when I was 5. It was hard, but very worth it to see.
