Yeah, I have a daughter who always says "take a picture of me doing this" and a son who stops doing whatever I wanted to get a picture of whenever I reach for the camera

Oh, I like looking at it on a grammatical level! Really only the *page* is about one child, the subject of the album is our whole family.... so "you" can just represent all of us as a unit!

I'd be cautious about using "You are my favourite" on a page, unless it's in context with the theme of the page (e.g. kid vacuuming the house without being asked), but would have no hesitation using "You are my everything", "You are my Sunshine", or "Greatest blessing" etc, because they ARE my everything/sunshine/blessing. I spread the sentiments on both kids layouts, so they have no problem. They just feel loved.

Haha, I have a "favorite boy" and a "favorite girl"... so as long as we don't have a third child, we're good

I do recall using a "you are my favorite" word strip on a page that just has my son on it... we spent the morning out on a mommy-son date when my daughter was just a couple months old. I remember being hesitant to use it then, too, but wrote in the journaling how nice it was to spend the morning with "my favorite boy" and decided that it wouldn't cause any major rivalry issues
