it's become evident that kaia realizes people have been talking about her eyes all of her life. i'll overhear her talking to her dolls saying "wow, you have the most BEAUTIFUL blue eyes!!" for this reason, i only mention her eyes occasionally. i want her to know that she's more than the color of her eyes. but, secretly, when we're in public and someone mentions her amazing eyes, in my head i'm saying "I KNOW! ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL?! CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW BLUE HER EYES ARE??!!" but what i say out loud instead is "what do you say, honey?" and she says "thank you!".
