the squeaky wheel and the grease
Why is it that the child who is the most trouble... (the one who is constantly getting into something he shouldn't, the one who is always doing something dangerous, the one who you chase all day and when he finally goes to sleep, you heave a huge sigh of relief and absolutely fall into bed from exhaustion, only to be awakened at O'dark thirty by a raring-to-go, well-rested toddler) is also the one that makes your heart melt the most when he comes up and wraps his sweet little arms around your neck and practically squeezes your head off?

We've got one of those. It's because sometimes you forget they have as much love to give as they do energy, and when they remind you it's simply heart-melting.
I agree with Karen; those hugs do a world of good in that they remind us that our children have so many, many different sides to their personalities!
It's the same reason babies are cute, we wouldn't go through the pain if we didn't feel the love. Now, I'm curious how teenagers will redeem themselves.
