Bill Harvey: Oh, you’ve got green eyes

Insulted at being called a Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokeratus (or wokerato, if you want to be modern), I recently took some time off to play with the latest addition to the Harvey clan.

I felt reasonably confident answering many of the questions asked by the parents of one month old Jax. Yes, it is quite normal in the first few weeks to see the eyes occasionally look in different directions. Yes, he can see objects close up, but might easily be distracted by a bright object much further away in the periphery. No, don’t worry yet if he does not seem to be able to track an object – this should kick in very soon.
