just being herself

the other day when i picked up amy from day care, avery walked up to her and held out her arms and said, give me a hug, amy!
amy furiously turned her head, and shouted, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!this is almost the 100th time i saw it happen, with different kids.sigh.
is being a "loner" in gene?i myself never feel comfortable holding hands with my girlfriends, even when i was little. even though i turn out to be an OK person, still wish she'd bemore open to others, given this IS us, not china :(

today i talked with vicki about this. vicki simply laughed and said, this is a good thing. it means she's AMY, she's herself, she's an individule, you know? she has her likes and dislikes. if she doesn't like to be touched, then other kids should learn to respect that...

even so, even so, i still wish she'd be more like jordan or lucia, who constantly drive other kids nuts by trying to hug them, or holding onto their hands.
probably this is one of the other typical mommy's no-use-worry thing.
