"True story: A two-and-a-half-year-old pestered his parents, masterfully of course, until they consented to his request (demand) to be left alone with his newborn brother. Over the nursery monitor, the parents overheard what it was the toddler had so insisted he needed to ask the new arrival. 'Tell me again where we come from--I'm starting to forget.'" - Judith Adler from Zen Baby

"Babies take us out of ourselves and, in exchange for insisting on our presence every moment, they give us back nothing short of everything they have to give." - Judith Adler
