I find that there always seems to be at least one child in the group who just grates on your nerves for one reason or another. It seems to be the luck of the draw. We wouldn't want life to be perfect would we? That would be too easy!

No really, I had a little girl for 3 years who was a nonstop talking tattletale annoying little thing and I thought there was something wrong with me because I just couldn't like her. I treated her exactly the way I treated all the others because I believe in that but I found I had to remind myself to hug her when the others were getting spontaneous hugs, you know?

Now I have a little boy who is cute and is hard to like mostly because he spent several months screaming but he's over that now and settled into daycare life, yet there's something that I can't put my finger on about him that just bothers me all the time. Again, I have to remind myself to tickle him and hug him. I guess it happens and as long as we always treat all the children alike and think about what we are doing it will be ok. I'm sure it happens to all of us.
