[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 471021, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]My first thought was, "It depends on the day...the kid...my mood...their mood"...lol. Seriously, I love them both the same (I think). However, I do enjoy certain times/things with one over the other and those things have changed over the years and it really does depend on their mood, my mood, what's going on, etc. easy child and I have a very similar sense of humor.
