I tell my 16 month old daughter that she is beautiful all the time, and her twin brother that he is handsome or beautiful, and then I sometimes cringe after: Am I setting them up for self-consciousness about what they look like? I try to mostly focus on the many wonderful traits they display, as you do, but sometimes it's impossible not to let "you're beautiful!" slip from my lips when I look at them and they SOOOO impossibly ARE!
