But that does remind me...I was leaving the hospital yesterday and there were a bunch of people outside waiting for the valet service to bring their cars. There was a crowd of people off to one side so I went to see what the deal was. There was a dad with one-week-old twin girls in car carriers, either waiting for the valet or for mom. Most people were very respectful and keeping their distance, but this one lady was squatting in front of them, reaching into their carriers, and pinching their cheeks! While they were asleep! The dad didn't say anything to her...I don't know if he was just that patient or figured that she had to go away soon. Anyway, maybe he could have taken a lesson from the no-talkers in Target. I don't think I would've let anyone do that to my kid.

Another angle. We have become a very insolated, untrusting society. Mom's are on guard for the potential stalker, snatcher, germ-laden human. Another thot: mom's are busy and always in a rush to take care of kids, keep house, and hold down a job. In other words, too busy to stop and smell someone else's poopy diapers!

I too am one who smiles and talks to babies and kids under the age of 5. Personally I think kids are just the cutest things and sometimes I think moms need to know that about their kids.

I also love to hold other people's babies. I was so fortunate to have so many grandmothers on the island constantly grabbing for David. At times it felt awkward but on the other hand I was always relieved to have my arms back for a few moments. Plus you get to see your baby from a different angle and they get to see you from a distance, instead of always a in the face view or the while nursing view. I think moms need that break.

And yes my adoreably cute boy is known to throw a fit. Just because he didn't today doesn't mean he won't tomorrow.
