beautiful eyes

I may be more than a little biased

but I happen to think that my two children

have the most beautiful eyes in the world.

I don't think I'm alone in thinking this,

I'm pretty sure my husband agrees.

But they are also the feature most commented on by other people,

friends, family and strangers alike

all comment on how big and beautiful my children's eyes are.

They both have really expressive eyes

which can tell you a lot about how they are feeling.

And they both have really long thick eyelashes

(although the boy's are curly while the girl's are dead straight).

When the beautiful boy was born with the richest chocolatey brown eyes ever

I sort of expected my second baby to have the same ones,

in fact I hoped my second baby would have the same ones because they were so beautiful.

But no, she has a colour all her own,

an extraordinary navy-grey colour

which can look totally different depending on what she's wearing or the colour of the sky.
