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
That is so cool! I had no idea they had such glasses as these. What an amazing experience for him to finally see the colours!
Oh my goodness, what a great moment captured!!! That is just awesome Jan! Love the idea to have all the different colored balloons.
I would seriously follow him around everywhere to see the world all new to him. That's so incredible!
@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.
This is so awesome! We're getting my FIL some for Christmas. Now I want to be there when he opens them!
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.
AMAZING... so cool that he can see the world in a new way! I can't imagine live without color. I'd be sad if I couldn't see all the beautiful colors.... color make me happy!
