Nicholas Glasses

From 2010 December

Why is Nicholas wearing sunglasses in the house and in the middle of winter at that? I'm glad you asked.

The other night at dinner Nicholas started pointing to his eyes saying "Nicholas glasses." (He hasn't yet figured out possessives.) Now, his pronunciation isn't always great so since his words didn't obviously correlate to any visible object, it took us a couple minutes to figure out.

"Nicholas glasses?" Huge grin letting us know we had correctly interpreted.
"Mommy glasses. (pointing at me) Daddy glasses (pointing at Joe). Nicholas glasses (pointing to his own eye)."
"No, bud, you don't wear glasses."
"Mommy glasses. Daddy glasses. Nicholas no glasses."

He repeated this last line at least 3 times, pointing to each of us in turn. And since he seemed upset to not have glasses like Mommy and Daddy, we pulled out his sunglasses. And it did the trick--he was happy as a clam. He also thought that looking at the Advent candles with sunglasses on was pretty fun. I'm sort of curious what they looked like.
