Damn, my daughter would have been kicked out of school a long time ago, she's a hug freak.

It warms my heart every day when I pick up my 4 year old from day care. There's always hugs with his buddies before he goes home.

Then he goes home and watches "Predator", "King Kong" or some other action movie. When it's time to wind down in the evening, we'll pull out a book and read it to him.

I took him to see "Ice Age 2" last week. We both enjoyed it immensely. We're making a return trip this weekend.

Thank God I live in a very conservative county. My daughter now 10 has been a huggy bear since she was able to. Her teachers have always enjoyed her hugs and have encouraged her to show more of her sincerity, especially when she was very young and shy. It helped her tremendously and her classmates alway get a kick out of her mom and dad's notes we sent to her during the day when she may have forgotten something. Almost as if they could be the same way or had parents that would allow them to.

Just the other day she forgot her water bottle. I had the time to deliver to the school (along with a note, 'love mommy') and although she got ribbed for the note (she's in 5th grade now) most of the kids said that that is exactly what their mom or dad would write.

God I love kids!
