When pregnant with Max, I was so worried Abbi and Tyler might fell left out. I expected a little sibling rivalry between Abbi and Max for attention, but I didn't prepare myself for Abbi to create a competition with Tyler. This happened last night, Max loves Tyler more than me, Abbi said. You see, Max was on his play gym in the floor with his brother and sister around him and apparently Max was looking at Tyler more than Abbi. I tried, to no avail, to explain to her that it wasn't possible for him to love one or the other more, especially now. She would be his favorite sister and Tyler would be his favorite brother. I asked her if she remembered anything from when she was his age. Her response of course was no. We had a little mommy lap time and all was better, until the next time Max stares at someone more than her. At least she loves him and wants him to love her, better than trying to get rid of him. Tyler of course was very supportive and didn't agitate her at all, no smirking or continuing to get Max to favor looking at him...yeah right. He is a perfect angel, but also still a big brother who loves a little healthy aggravation. Notice Abbi isn't in the picture, if Max wasn't going to be looking right at her then she would have no part of capturing the moment.
This morning all was well. Max was extra hungry last night and slept a little restless so Mommy is a little tired. Abbi woke up in a great mood and was excited it was hat day. Her school has this every once in a while to raise money for various charities. Today was for a local family who lost their Dad. Please pray they raise enough to meet their needs and for peace and comfort.I finally remembered to get Eric to take a picture of Tyler when he picked him up at a friends house. He looks thrilled to be getting his 
picture made, not embarrassing at all. He has a birthday party tonight and is spending the night with a friend. Abbi and I are going to go out to eat to have a little extra Mommy time. Eric and Max are TBD on attendance. They might want to spend the night in and get a little extra Daddy time. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. We are blessed.

That's so neat that their school does that type of thing! You'll have to tell Abbi now she knows why Isabel acts that way when Abbi wants more to do with Jansen. I can't tell you how many times she's said "Abbi likes Jansen better than me." Ha!! At least she hasn't asked you when you're taking him BACK to the hospital like Jansen did about Isabel! :) Hope you get a good nap in today and have fun tonight with Abbi. You two will have to toast to being the "girls of the house". Love you, TGIF!!
