Turns out his new group of recess buddies are still a mix of genders but also play Harry Potter just like last year. What's different is that his new friend, whom I don't know but love based solely on his ability to get my stubborn son to relent, insists on being Harry Potter. And Ryker who believed last year that he WAS Harry Potter and asked us to call him as much, has allowed it, graciously agreeing to the part of Ron Weasley. (He might be more accommodating based on who is playing the part of Hermione, but I don't have all the details as the boy rarely tells me much!)
Today, he's excited because we're on our way to the eye doctor. And the new Harry Potter told Ryker if he has to get glasses then he'll let Ryker play the part of Harry Potter for the rest of the year! Whoa, whoa, whoa! (He couldn't verify calendar or school year, but this is big news nonetheless.) Frankly, I was sort of pulling for Ryker to get glasses simply because the story was so cute, and I wanted him to turn into the triumphant hero in the end.
I figured he would try to intentionally "throw" the examination like Abby did last year. I gently reminded them both that no amount of fudging could fool the doctor. Ryker appeared to "try" to fib, but alas -- like his mom -- he just does not have a poker face. I thought Abby learned her lesson after last year, but she lied straight through her eye exam for the second straight year.
Either one of them would look adorable in glasses. Seeing as their parents both are nearsighted, and mine is pretty bad, I figured one or both would end up in them eventually. Turns out, both are just slightly nearsighted. Nothing our doctor recommends glasses to correct yet, and it's nothing either have ever complained about. So we'll check in again in another year. In the meantime, I might have to hit Amazon and get Ryker some Harry Potter costume glasses so he can play the part at recess sometimes. 'Cause I love my little Harry Potter!
