++Cousins!++

When Wyatt and Claire's cousins Larson and Cora came to visit (along with their parents) we learned a lot about cousins in our house:

++Cousins bring you toys when they come (like a great fire station) and then you spend the rest of the week fighting over the ladder truck.

++Cousins are sometimes littler than you so you can teach them things like how to chew on toys (although Cora was pretty well versed in this one.)

++Cousins are great for sharing popsicles with.
++It's fun to play made-up games like run-and-dive-for-the-football with your cousin!
++A cousin in the bath tub means twice the fun!
++It's fun to show your cousins around town and visit the train at the town square. (And did you know that Uncles are almost as fun as Daddies?? Wyatt was quick to become Uncle Brett's shadow). ++It's even more fun to dress like your cousin and go downtown Memphis to ride the trolley, visit the fire museum, and see the ducks at the Peabody.
++The junior cousins had fun too. Believe it or not, they talked about fashion and cooking and all things girly (oh wait, maybe that was their moms...)
++And finally, we learned that cousins don't shake hands, cousins hug (Wyatt seemed a little more into this idea than Larson).
