Her 5 year old brother has never been a snuggler, and he's all elbows and knees and shooting imaginary bad guys and sassy teenage attitude, so I can't help but feel as if she is my favorite - she is still so much like a baby. Of course I tell my son "I love you" all the time, and squeeze in hugs and kisses when I can. Now I have #3 on the way, I am hoping my sweet little girl doesn't experience dreaded middle child syndrome, and that I never forget the days when she was my "favorite".

My oldest is just about to turn three, and I can honestly say that this? This is an asshole age. I love my son fiercely with blinding light and unicorn farts and rainbows and shit, but his attitude and everything right now, just taxes me. The baby is just fun and loving and while I like them a little older and more independent, I love babies. I love my children equally, in that I have just as much love for one as I do the other. But I do love them differently. He's my baby boy. Innocent, and my first. She's my last and my little girl, and she already rolls her eyes at me. It's funny, though, about everyone loving the baby. My mother, who was literally unfavored by my grandmother, a woman who made no bones about not wanting a girl, and always wanting a boy, seemingly loves my son more than my daughter. It's probably not the case, but there are days where it feels that way. I know that she just likes hanging out with my son more because he's more fun and she's way too much of a mama's girl right now. She wants nothing to do with anyone else. Totally agree.
