    For those of you who were interested in an update on how it went with the color blind glasses we got for my son...

    They worked!! He was actually seeing things that he's never seen before! And of course, of all days, I left my phone at home so I'm waiting on someone to send me some video! I had him look at a holly bush (with berries on it) and asked him what color it was. He said "green, it's definitely green." He put the glasses back on and said "OH MY GOD!! There's red berries on it". He pulled off a leaf and a berry and said that to him they had always looked like the same color. He has a lot of tattoos and he kept staring at them. He had no idea how colorful they were lol. Glad he likes them. My mom had on a yellow sweater. He looked at her and said "Oh! What color is that?" It was so much fun to watch. Here's is one short video that I was able to get with DH's phone when he realized what color pepperoni is haha

    @carrie1977 I really wanted to!! He said they were just going to go driving around and look at the colors. I told him he picked a bad time of year for this because everything is brown LOL. He texted and said everything is so vivid and pretty.

    It's so great to watch the reaction! When we gave DS the gift certificate to order them for his birthday, I told him the only stipulation was that we all got to be there when he put them on the first time :)

    That is just the coolest thing ever! I can't even imagine being given the gift of seeing all the colors for the first time ever. I too would want to follow him around and watch him being able to experience everything in full color.
