Cousin Time!

Last week I spent three days down in Spanish Fork babysitting Brian's niece Kimberly while her parents and older brothers went camping down in Moab. Kimberly is about 9 months younger than Shye and they love each other. Ok, maybe the affection came mostly from Shye and Kimberly just tolerates it. Barely. But seriously, they actually get along very well. It was fun to watch them play together. They had their own little games and their own little language. Their favorite game was one where they would both go running down the hall and into the living room and then they would each play a single note on the piano and then run back shrieking and giggling to the family room. No idea why that was so hilarious but they sure enjoyed it. They had races sliding down the stairs on their bottoms. We watched Frozen at least 28 times in those three days. Shye wanted to get into Kimberly's crib every night when I put her down and she made me bring Kimberly into our bed to snuggle each morning. And we had lots of fun little outings.

Take a deep breath because there's a whole lotta pictures here.

Her hair in this picture cracks me up!

Shye had so much fun with her little cousin. I sometimes feel bad that she is still an only child, I think she gets lonely. I try to make sure that we go out every day and that she gets plenty of social interaction but I still feel like she is missing out. I'm glad she has a cousin close in age nearby. I'm sure they will be besties forever. Or at least until the hormones and girl drama kick in.
