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!!
