Last night snuggling:
Emily: I love you, Mama.
Me: I love you, too.
Emily: You're the only mama I'll ever have.
Me: You're the only Emily I'll ever have.
Yesterday, Eva received a free pass to wear jeans today for surpassing her benchmark test score. Eva usually never wears jeans when they are allowed, but Emily always does (she hates uniforms). I knew Eva getting this pass would bother Emily, but she never showed it until this morning in the bathroom:
Emily: I just want to rip up her card (the pass to wear jeans)!
Me: Don't you dare!
Emily: It's not fair!
Me: It is fair. Eva was rewarded for something she did.
Emily: (tears)
Me: (went to the kitchen to make sure the pass was still intact - it was)
Apparently, Eva had been bragging about getting to wear jeans, and it was just too much for Emily to take.

Is there much sibling rivalry? How do you deal with it?
I look at my boys and cannot ever imagine them not being close, being friends, loving each other but I do worry that they'll drift apart and not have a strong friendship/relationship one day. Not sure how/what/if I prevent that.
