Peek-a-boo!

Annalee has been told, fairly, that her eyes are not only brown. They are, at certain times, the dark hue referred to by Russian novelists as "black." They are always as magical, and as lively, as she is. I have, out of mental laziness perhaps, told her once or twice, "You have the most beautiful brown eyes," and I have been corrected. "No, Daddy, my eyes are purple." They do have, in certain lights, a purple ring around their broader, dark-brown rings.

She continues to love a wide variety of peek-a-boo games: From behind pieces of furniture, around play equipment at the park, from beneath blankets and sheets. Peek-a-boo!!

Hi, I've just come across your posts searching for the term "purple eyes". I read your child's eyes look purple at the edge. According to what I have learned and experienced so far, that could be linked to a very interesting genetic condition that prevents from aging and infections. Myself have purple eyes, maybe a little more evident because brown in the middle and violet round the edge; I am 47 and look less than 30, never got a disease both as a child and adult, and I show other positive anomalies. May I know if your child shows similar signs? Such mutation is very rare to find and I would like to find somebody able to help me investigate more. Would you like to exchange information? Perhaps that could help you care your child better in later life. Thank you. Simon
