Whether they are headed toward you or away from you they behave as it sounds, they toddle; a wide stance, a wiggling bottom and arms waving wildly all about all while wearing a deep look of concentration on their face until they break out in a grin at the sight of something exciting and go plonk face first over these things their parents call feet. The tears start and all you can do is try hard not to burst out laughing. This age is also the time that you can read them like a book, you can see every thought pass across their faces, watch the intensity as they stare intently trying to work out what something is, how it works and what happens when you touch it.

Toddlers are about curiosity, intensity and refining their ability.
