Mean kids

I should preface this post by saying that my eldest daughter is home all day with me so anytime she sees other little kids I've officially made her day!

So yesterday I decided was as good a day as any to take my daughter winter coat shopping.

**side note: Anyone who pays full price for a winter coat for a 19 month old is caaaarrrraaaazzzzyyyy! Thank you Old Navy for the 50% off outerwear.

It came as no surprise to me when baby J got all excited as soon as we walked into the store and headed towards the "kids" section of the store. Baby J proceeded to hug all the toddler sized mannequins (I know its sad, but in the cutest possible way) which the sales girl standing nearby and myself thought was absolutely adorable, this is after all why I love her sooo much!

We continue about our business shopping for a winter coat and other wants I mean necessities (theres no real difference in my mind) and child #1 walks by Baby practically trips over herself runs (imagine toddler run) to the child stops in front of them smile and waves and says "HI!" child #1 blank stare turns and walks away o.k. no biggie, walk it off Baby J. Child #2 was near the shoes (Baby J loves shoes!!) again Baby J runs a little faster this time, there are shoes involved after all, same greeting same reaction from child #2 WTH!!! SO I decide its time to check out and take Baby J to the mechanical toy which she is obsessed with these days, at the check out child #3, she seems like a bubbly little girl until Baby J walks up greets her and again crickets!!!

At this point I'm starting to feel bad for my little girl because she really is extremely friendly with other kids (Adults not sooo much, but thats a good thing right!) So we walk out of the store and head straight for the Bob the builder mechanical toy its the first one Baby J can see as we exit the store. It just so happens child #4 was in the digger (o.k. great another child playing, looks promising for baby J) smile, wave, "HI!" yeah o.k. this kid could not wait to get out of the digger and away from Baby J while looking at her like she had 20 heads!!!
Thank goodness my child is resilient she is not phased by this at all so we continue to play a while longer.

BUT seriously parents can we teach our kids to be polite to each other!!! its never to early to start! I understand caution around strangers, but COME ON shes 19 months old!!!!

Don't worry Baby J, Baby A will soon be old enough to partake in fun activities with you. and she will always smile, wave and say "HI!" with the same enthusiasm, heck there may even be a hug involved!
