Ooo, that's a tricky dynamic too!

What a great conversation to have! Yes, it's not like I would only use "you're #1" type word art for one child and never the other, so they would each see that sort of sentiment on pages about themselves as well as about their sibling and the two of them together.

Ha! Yeah, hopefully whomever my future-adult-child is complaining to about any disparity between the scrapbook pages will say something like, "well, on the bright side, your mom made you scrapbook pages!"
