Quotes to ponder:
"Toddlers' life energy comes to a peak and it shoots out of their eyes and greasy fingers every waking minute of every day. They demand attention at every moment."
"In nurturing them back from robot children to human children with eye-to-eye communication and interaction, they seek more tickles and wrestling matches and hugs."
"We realize that all they really want is us."
