And so to this week's Gallery theme.
Which is simply: Eyes
And because the theme is simple, I'm going to choose a simple photo and let it (mostly) speak for itself. I will just say though that I see a wealth of family members in The Boy's eyes. Sometimes they are big and green-ish like his father's, sometimes they are old and blue like my father's. That was disconcerting when I was breast-feeding!
His heritage, and his future, is in his eyes everytime I look at him.

He looks sooooo much like you though! You see so much in someone's eyes don't you and his are like a puppy dog I think – cute and cuddly π its a gorgeous photo x
TheBoyAndMe says
I love his eyes, so big and full of life!
HELEN says
eeek at what you said about your Dad's eyes!!
The boy has lovely eyes…and lovely big squidgy cheeks too…maybe that should be a theme for The Gallery one week!

TheBoyAndMe says
Cheeks?! Can you imagine the chaos that one would cause?
Lauren says
Eek! I know what you mean about your dads eyes, I used to be the same with Charles in the very early days…except it'd be my brother!
Lovely words…and is that a Stegosaurus hat The Boy has on? x
TheBoyAndMe says
It is indeed, isn't it lush?

what a little sweetie. My son has his family's eyes, his Dads, his older sister. blinding blue.
TheBoyAndMe says
I can't work out the colour of The Boy's one minute they're grey, the next green, hazel, never my grey-blue colour though.
LauraCYMFT says
I love his expression in his eyes! I wonder what he is thinking? Lovely picture.
TheBoyAndMe says
"Jesus woman, enough of the photos!" most probably. Or "Let me get down and plop the stones in the sea!"
MummyMummyMum says
Gorgeous! I am wondering what he was looking at. x
TheBoyAndMe says
The sea! He wanted to throw stones into it.
mum of all trades says

TheBoyAndMe says
Thank you, I adore his eyes.
Multiple mummy says
Beautiful! Yes you can see young and old in him! I think he had been on this earth before you know, in another life! Such a gorgeous boy! x
TheBoyAndMe says
You're not the first to say that. He was born a matter of hours before my great aunt's funeral, I like to think of a little bit of her in him. Such a shame she never got to see him because she'd have loved him!
Lou says

from fun to mum says
love his eyes, but that cute hat is a big distraction!
TheBoyAndMe says
Isn't it gorgeous? He looks adorable in it, but he's got such a big head he has to wear aged 3-4yrs!
Notmyyearoff says
He's got gorgeous expressive eyes!
TheBoyAndMe says
He has inherited that trait from me!
Chris at Thinly Spread says
Aw, very lovely…and just a little bit cheeky!
TheBoyAndMe says
Just a bit you reckon?
