Usually when people do this "3" would refer to their third child regardless of age. But it's ambiguous.
I call my friend's kids #1 and #2.
I use #2 and B. No preferential treatments.
I called mine's thing 1 and thing 2 for a while. TBF, their parents had let them temp dye their hair blue. I stopped by one evening, and the kids were wearing matching red PJs, with blue hair, climbing the walls in pre bedtime hyperness.
