Today we were walking out of the house and I was in church clothes. I walked down the stairs where Colby was waiting for us to leave the house and he looked at me and got big eyes and said, "WOW! You are so pretty! You are a real princess mom!" Then he held the screen door open for me and we walked out to the car.
Later in the day Cael was writing on the front entry with sidewalk chalk. I sat down next to him and wrote I love Cael in block letters. He asked why I wrote that. I whispered to him it was because he was my favorite. He looked at me and said, "Really? I always thought it was Colby! Cool." It broke my heart. I want all my kids to think they are my favorite. Colby is by far the most complimentary to me, and shows me the most affection, like the earlier story! However, I need to do better to make every boy feel like the favorite, even if they don't show me!
