Favoritism

Daniel has started declaring favorites - sometimes it's Mommy and sometimes it's Daddy. And we decided that it's just a little too sassy for us.

So a new family rule: Instead of saying, "Mommy, you're my FAVORITE family!" He now has to this: "I have THREE favorites... and you're one of them!"

He recites the line constantly, with an extra "the" thrown in there. My favorite moments are when he's too sleepy to think clearly (like when he crawls into our bed at 3 am and snuggles close)...

Barely a sleepy, audible whisper: "Mommy, you're my... I have THREE favorites... And you're the one of them..."
