Zoë LOVES kids. I think it's because almost all children we come across want to say hello to her. (Unlike the many adults that show no interest in saying hello, which greatly upsets Zoe! )

Anyway, I tried from an early age to get her around kids so that she would get used to them and eventually do well with them. (Since within her lifetime she will have human brothers/sisters...) Anyway, her interactions are usually limited to neighbor's kids or children at parks we go to. At 6 months old she amazed me and put up with my boyfriend's 1 year old baby cousins over Thanksgiving. The twins loved her but weren't too gentle (nothing too bad but they would push and prod a bit as little ones can). She just sad there, kind of smiled, and let them pay her attention in whatever way they wanted to. After that I knew she'd be fine. But when I have a baby.... I'm afraid she may get jealous but I think planning ahead like others have suggested would be really helpful!
