(lol)....also with my nieces and nephews and students...they all have that ability to shift from favorite to most complicated and challenging in a blink of the eye. I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful young people in my life because I have my 2 girls, 5 nieces, 2 nephews, then my cousins 4 wee ones, and then teen/now 20 somethings students from 7 years of teaching art and yoga at hour Hebrew High...and still I am in close contact with several of those amazing kids...I feel like they are all my sons and daughters at different times, depending on who needed me the most in a particular moment. Maybe I'm a bit like the old woman who lived in a shoe...but I fed everyone with lots of love and encouragement and never spanked or sent anyone to bed hungry!<br /><br />xoxo<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349928247626849914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-42578082860747157822009-11-22T19:46:46.787-08:002009-11-22T19:46:46.787-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-44289338928164562492009-11-22T12:36:26.064-08:002009-11-22T12:36:26.064-08:00Well said, you might be surprised but even I have ...Well said, you might be surprised but even I have a favorite daughter.<br /><br />ADAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-3166489968145008512009-11-22T11:13:11.034-08:002009-11-22T11:13:11.034-08:00OMG.

I can't express how much I love my blog friends. And you dear Debbie fill my soul right to the brim with joy.<br /><br />Bless you, bless your angel daughters! :) :) :) :) :)<br />Peggy xxxooomiruspeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980477108868960140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571558006810647972.post-29600475274527410612009-11-20T02:22:07.024-08:002009-11-20T02:22:07.024-08:00They look so sweet together!!!

That way it isn't a competition between them and their brothers. :) And then there's always the argument that each one is a favorite in different ways.... xxooIrene Lathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905936104127707762noreply@blogger.com
