Diego used to have a nickname from one of the teachers when he was in the infant room: “Brown eyes.” I can still hear the way she said it, in her scratchy voice that hinted at a history with cigarettes.”Good morning, Brown Eyes!” She was a really sweet lady; my favorite of his caretakers with the exception of one he still has in his toddler room who also watches Diego for us at home every so often. Anyhow, this shot shows off those beautiful, round “doe eyes” of Diego’s. Or should I say “giraffe eyes,” because while the best things about this shot are his peepers, the obvious coda to it would be the matching look of the giraffe on his bib. Too cute and a bit too coincidental not to be included!
