"WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE TODAY?"

Everynight after we put the kids to bed, Emily likes to play a game we call "Who's your favorite today?" That's when we talk about what each of the kids did that day, who was good and who was not so good. As we get to know each of their personalities better, and as they get more comfortable with us, it is easier for us to tell which kids are just having a bad day and which ones scream their heads off because it's their nature. We also get to see the pure goodness of some of the kids, like Cory, who will share his bread with someone who did not get as much. What is it that makes people so different? These kids that grow up in the same place, eat the same food, and share everything (clothes, toys, food) each have such unique personalities. It is enjoyable to get to know each of them and love them all, but impossible not to have favorites.
