My Eyes Shine Wide Open

The boy gets fan mail:

Dear Sam,

I saw your pictures on the computer, when you were a baby you looked very cute. Sam, Lola is growing up too. She is getting [bigger?] but is still very playful. Are you still very playful? You are such a pretty cat it makes my eyes shine wide open. I am glad you have such a good family that loves you. I am in Kindergarten now, and am learning to spell words and read and all kinds of neat stuff. Maybe soon I can write you a real letter.

I love you,
E

That made Sam's eyes shine wide open.  Mine, too.
