One thing you are lucky to have in your life right now is cousins. I never grew up surrounded by cousins but always heard stories from my mother and uncle about the joys of a large extended family. Growing up, my family moved from the state they had
called home their entire lives (Michigan) when I was only a year old. We landed
in Oklahoma and when I was 5 made the trek out further west to Arizona. My only cousins were younger and a state away in New Mexico, so needless to say we didn't see them very often.
You, my dear boy, have 2 cousins, Emma and Caleb. Both live in the same state, merely miles away, and even better you are only 6 months older than one. This means as you and Caleb grow older you will have an instant playmate. Someone to play on summer soccer leagues with, someone to rough house with, someone to build Lego space stations with, and Daddy's big dream- trips to Legoland.
Right now the age difference may seem like a lot, but it so exciting to see the both of you grow up together already.
Hugs and kisses,
Your Mother
