I don't have small children, but I have a 12month old grandson. My babies love him. They smother him with kisses. He doesn't like it much
.
I went to my husbands' family gathering. His 3 yr old niece wanted to pet Chloe...she was 11 weeks old. I told her to be gentle but when she pet Chloe, Chloe squealed
. I stood up and spent the whole day runnung from her. Telling her she was asleep. I really think it's how you raise your kids. Her parents were saying they wanted to get her a yorkie
. Luckily my husband spoke up and said he suggests they wait until she is older.
