Melania was with the Cruz girls, and they warmed up to her?

Yes...no crossed arms, no sticking out of tongues, they were both bending INTO her/her space...NOT pulling away, and they didn't look GRUMPY at all.

Melania knows how to be a mother, obviously likes children, and unlike with their parents, the Cruz girls were happy to be with Melania.

[Seattle Conservative]

Yes, there was a picture after/during one of the early debates.
Here’s a link to the picture:

It’s been my experience that kids don’t get that close to you unless they like you (also trust factor which seems to be somewhat instinctive in kids).
