COUSINS
Cayden, Lilly, Porter, Story, Deacon & Amos. All seven and under. All buddies.
I love this picture of my kids hanging with their cousins at Nana & Pops' house. They play so very well together and genuinely love to be around each other. I pray that as they grow older, we as their parents will make sure to foster great relationships between them. That we will find ways to get them playing together and seeing each other as often as possible.
What do you do to make sure your kids love their cousins well and build a strong bond and relationship, even if it's long distance?
Jamie, I’m gonna watch this post for tips. We have 6 month old so we are new to this, but she has older cousins and I’m curious how to foster this relationship between them. Right now they just love her because she’s little, and I hope that as she grows up they will still think she is so wonderful and want to play with her.
Thanks for this post. And thank you for having such a wonderful heart. You are a beautiful example of Christ to others.
I grew up with a ton of cousins and we were all (and still are) very close. I think mainly we got that way from the times spent at our grandparents house for holidays & special events. Shared an apartment with 2 of my cousins in college even! I feel blessed to have such a close family & cherish those relationships I have with my cousins. I want this so much for my kids as well! They only have one cousin right now, but several second cousins (including your kids!) & I hope they can develop sweet relationships with them throughout the years. Love you guys!
