I don't know if I have a soft spot for kids, what I can't stand is seeing them cry. I was a crybaby myself *tee hee*
I'm wearing my Christmas gifts on that picture btw. The shirt and the shoes *hint* *hint* I had to be the impromptu emcee, which I'm not sure was a good idea anyway. I just like holding the microphone and making wise-cracks throughout the event. At least I have audience impact >:}
