It is

I've always felt great joy and pride when a baby, toddler, child chose to play with me or sit in my lap over anyone else in the room. As if it spoke to my good character or fun factor. But no matter what, the mom always won. If she came around, I was quickly abandoned by my tiny comrade. I always thought it must be truly wonderful to be a little being's number one. And now I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt, it is.
