on favoritism:

If you're starting to notice that there aren't ever any photo postings of E, it's not because I prefer one child over the other (well, sometime I do) no, it's because E won't let me take her picture. G on the other hand, thinks cameras are swell....there's always a kodak moment with him. On the flip side, he doesn't bust out thinks like "Do you suppose the friends [the neighbor kids] realize how late it is?" (in regard to it being bed time) or "Mom, I really think you should get to know Brynna's Mom so that she can come to my birthday party." (I once told her she could only invite friends whos parents I knew)...really, I love them both equally, though sometime I do wish G would talk and E would stop talking.
