That's funny Crayola and so true. My youngest daughter who is the youngest of 4 children asked me if I loved her one time when she was about 10. I was flabbergasted. But she noticed that there were lots of pictures of her oldest sister when she was a baby and not as many of her in the photo albums. But my oldest child had the strictest restrictions and rules and they were a whole lot more relaxed by the time the 4th child got to them, so it all worked out evenly as far as I'm concerned.

I think it's funny when a new baby gets a sniffle and a new Mom wants to rush them off to the doctor. I just had that conversation with a dcMom this morning saying, oh he's fine, don't worry because she is trying to get her baby with the tiniest cough ever a dr.'s appointment. She's a wee bit overprotective to say the least.
