project 52:26 - favorites

I'm not talking about picking a favorite kid...I'm talking about knowing each kid's favorites-their favorite drink, toy, shirt (this one is Macy's), color, animal, soothy, cartoon...the list goes on and on.  


Favorites are where our kids show their differences & similarities.  Two of mine LOVE animals, 2 of them really don't.  A different set of twos drink milk like water in the desert, one can't stand it, one drinks it 50/50.  One likes green beans, one likes only raw veggies, one will eat any of them, the other's favorite is tomatoes.  Their favorite meal is ham & swiss stromboli across the board.  Macy's favorite color is lime green (different from last year when it was light blue), Jack's is red, Lily's is-guess-is pink, and Ava hasn't decided yet.  Some favorites are a part of their tapestry & will never change...some change frequently.  Some I have influence over, others appear without my knowing.


Maybe it's second nature, maybe it's just that we live with them 24/7, but mommas know this information like a CEO knows a balance sheet or bottom line.  It's our job, after all!
