Our babies get plenty of attention, and since everyone knows everyone else, we have old grandfathers handing out candy to children as they go shopping.

Sometimes I look at his face when someone doesn't return his excited wave and he looks just heartbroken. It definately breaks my heart. <BR/>Maybe they should just wave at each other. haha.Junior Mintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366424930178797376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829165214458238627.post-22998090520936127512008-06-12T07:48:00.000-07:002008-06-12T07:48:00.000-07:00I certainly would have waved, in fact, I'm notorio...I certainly would have waved, in fact, I'm notorious for flirting with babies and toddlers and preschoolers in grocery stores. But in defense of those who don't, you wouldn't believe the looks I've gotten from the parents of those kids that I do wave back at. THEY don't really want me talking to their child. <I>They're</I> afraid I'm a nasty kidnapper or something. <I>They</I> make mean faces at me to scare me away. I think most people find it safer to mind their own business. This was especially true on the East Coast. Very sad. <BR/>The Midwest is much different though. Perfect strangers talk all the time. And lots of people would have waved.EEEEMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08152965556780402197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829165214458238627.post-7743114692401154482008-06-10T21:36:00.000-07:002008-06-10T21:36:00.000-07:00I think it would brighten anyones day to wave at a...I think it would brighten anyones day to wave at a cute little girl!!- they sure are missing out!<BR/><BR/>Keep on smiling<BR/>Renata :)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829165214458238627.post-2659715340923966032008-06-10T20:14:00.000-07:002008-06-10T20:14:00.000-07:00I am encouraged to teach my children not to be sel...I am encouraged to teach my children not to be self focused.
