Achromat "playdate"

We met our first other Achromat this week. Harvey came over to play with Charlotte at our holiday cottage. It was so fortunate that we were on holiday there, otherwise we would have been quite unlikely to have met up with them. His Mum brought him over, he is just over 1 year old. He wears his sunglasses almost all the time and they have a prescription in them too. He was toddling fine, I kept the curtains drawn and they got on well. They are both at that kind of annoying age where they just swat at each other, rather than play with anything. But it was nice to meet another kid with the same condition. His nystagmus is the same, but he looks up to focus and I think Charlotte's preference is down. His mother is really nice and it was lovely to talk in person to someone. We are going to make a plan to meet up again - logistically it is not that easy though.
