You know when you run a daycare it seems like little ones just know..I can go into a store and the little ones flock to me at times.. My husband and I were at Sam's I was pushing my cart beside a young couple that had a little girl in their cart. As I was passing them the little girl about age 3 tried to climb into my cart.. Her Mother was amazed she said she never gets near anyone and never tries to get into their cart..She reached over and gave me a hug such a cute little girl.. Guess I was meant to be a Mommy.. I was in Wal Mart once and a little Boy was walking with his daddy he took off running and grabbed my hand looked up into my eyes and said in a loud voice hi there I love you.. We all laughed at that one.. I do love kids and I guess they know!!
