“When my daughter Lily was 6 months old, we went to visit my brother, his wife, and their three-year old, Cassie.  It was getting close to Lily’s naptime and my husband said to Cassie, “She’s getting tired. See her rub her eyes?”  Cassie looked at Lily, and then ran out of the room.  She came back in a minute holding her baby doll out to my husband and said, “My doll has rubber eyes too!”
