"Normal" for a day

I am not exactly sure what constitutes being "normal," but I have learned that most people don't consider a toddler in glasses very normal based on the endless stares and questions we get anytime we are out. Of course, Jack is immune to it, and I pray that he remains that way for as long as possible. This past week, we had a sneak peek of some beautiful spring weather, so Jack and I headed to the park with his friend from daycare, who also happens to wear glasses. I was excited to have her come along because what's cuter than a toddler in glasses? That's right - two toddlers in glasses!! We did have two people ask if they were twins...while they are both beautiful children, they look nothing alike apart from the fact that they both wear glasses. Anyways, that wasn't the reason that our trip to the park that day was so special. I heard a mom say, "Look, that little boy has glasses like you." I hear this a lot, but it's usually directed towards older children who wear very normal reading glasses or are wearing sunglassess, but today was different. I looked up to find another toddler wearing blue Miraflex frames! Well, if that wasn't exciting enough, we run to the other side of the playground and find yet another toddler in glasses. That means we are up to FOUR toddlers at the park in glasses. For once, kids stopped to stare at Jack's glasses because they were the same ones he was wearing! He got to look up and be face to face with kids that looked just like him. I know it didn't mean much to him that day, but it meant a whole lot to me that for one short afternoon, a toddler in glasses was completely "normal."
