[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t love them all the same, but I love them all equally.

My oldest is the oldest and my first born.  He is also a lot like DH, and I love watching him grow up and turn into a young man.  He is quiet and serious and has so much intensity.  I love getting into his mind and finding out what he is thinking.  
My second child is a lot like me.  We like a lot of the same books and movies.  We worry about the same things.  I feel like I have a special bond with him because I usually know what he is thinking.  
My third child is my only girl.  She loves art and music and sees the beauty in everything.  Everyone loves her.  At her first communion, she stood up in front of the entire congregation and described love as a feeling like warm soup is filling all of the parts inside you that you didn’t know were cold and empty.  
And my youngest is my baby and my extrovert with the big personality.  He is the kind of kid that had teenage and adult friends that I had never met before when he was four or five years old.  People just walk up to him on the playground or in the hallway, call out his name, and give him a five or a handshake.

Same. I have 2, and very similar to your oldest two.
Oldest is a mini of my DH. He is challenging at times, but with a very big heart. He’s sweet, thoughtful, smart, and sometimes a big PITA. Very stubborn.
He thinks his younger brother is the favorite because we often “side” with the younger. Typically it’s because of a fight where older son was picking on younger. Sometimes it’s to avoid additional conflict. And sometimes we side with older son. He also doesn’t remember when he was the only child and got all the attention, or when second child was born and I felt so bad that older child had to share me that I paid way more attention to him. Typically I would hand baby off to anyone that would hold him so I could give older son more attention.
Younger son is a mini me. I can tell his emotions. He is super snuggly and easier to get along with… in part because he’s so much like me, in part because he’s not a teen yet.
I love them equally. I can’t imagine ever having to give either of them up. I would rather die.[/quote]
