I love this photo but it also makes me sad. We lost my son’s glasses at @waltdisneyworld and they were never located. Is it normal to have an emotional attachment to my child’s first glasses? 😭 now he has to wait a whole week for his new ones to be made. I’m so disappointed that nobody turned them in. ___ 🤓 👓 #momproblems #amblyopia #amblyopiaawareness
