She likes to hear it & she thinks it's cute. I did too when I wrote it. I guess it didn't come across for you in my writing, though. Still, looking through the things that you've been reading in the hours you've been here, today, I'm not really seeing it. I haven't done any statistical analysis or actually counted how many times each child was mentioned, but just going through the links that you looked at, the references to each of them seems pretty equal. And, as in the balloon story, they all seem pretty positive, overall. Do you think it might be possible that you're reading from a perspective brought from your own personal experiences & seeing negative where it's not intended? Or, it could just be that I'm just tired at this time of night. Maybe if I take a look again when I'm fresher, I'll be able to see what you're trying to share. Thanks for taking all that time & putting a lot of thought into it for me, though. You don't often see people doing things like that for people they don't know. It's always good to hear how others see things. I will certainly think about what you wrote when I blog in the future. Only thing is that, if I blog about Annie or Allison, I'll think that people think I'm doing it just to try to prove something -and- if I post about Shelby, I'll think that you'll be thinking, "Oh, yeah - there she goes again" :-D Hmmm... Maybe I'll just blog about the dogs for a while :p I look forward to hearing from you in the future. Thanks for sharing. Y’know - the balloon story is one of Annie’s favorites, actually.

She asked me to blow up the balloon & then went to play with it in the living room. She came back a few minutes later & asked me to put a string on it. I did (eventually). After she’d had the string on it for a couple minutes, she came back to me & said “Mom, it’s not going up!”. I had to explain to her that it’s not the string that makes the balloon go up, but the helium inside of it. Weird, what kids think. " You say "weird what kids think" but I bet if it had been your son you would have been like oh he is funny or amazing or something. It is pretty obvious that 90% of your blogs are praising your son or what he does, or his school stuff, while your daughter barely even exists. And when she does do or say something seems like it aint as fantastic as your son. You should really become more aware of yourself, just read through your posts through others point of view, someone has a favorite. Your daughter will realize it isnt her one day.

You just talk about him more and reading over your posts seems like you are more annoyed of your daughter than you are of your son, you certainly talk about your son a lot more, not to mention seem to be more fond of him. Since I can tell by reading some of your posts I wonder how obvious it is to the real world, or to your daughter. In a blog a while back you stated she loves attention and was doing something to get your attention, well I wonder why, it is extremely obvious who you favor, even to an outsider like me. Just giving you a heads up, wouldnt want your daughter to feel unloved or 2nd best. You can email me for more if you want. New Email address give, email me there.

Thanks for sharing. I tried emailing you back, but you must have accidentally mistyped your email address. What brought you to that conclusion? Can you elaborate? I'd really be interested to know. I'm always ready to learn more & grow. Interesting observation. Thanks for sharing. I tried emailing you back, but you must have accidentally mistyped your email address.

I was a Girl Scout, that's why I'm such an upstanding citizen lol. I wonder if all of them were Girl Scouts, I kind of hope not. I was a Girl Scout, that’s why I’m such an upstanding citizen lol.
