cousins
I never really had any cousins that I felt close to in childhood - we had a few cousins we would see occasionally and play with - but nobody that I really kept in touch with or feel a real connection with now. We have pretty much fallen out of touch with everyone - Rosie is very lucky to have a bunch of cousins that are pretty close in age to play with and grow up with.
She has Marisa - who is 10 and Rosie will grow up just idolizing her I know. Noah is 6 and Cory is 5 and they will be just the perfect age for Rosie to have her first crushes on their friends in about 10 years. Kylie is 2 1/2 and Ella is 2 1/4 and they live in FL and NJ - so we don’t see them too often - but I know when we get together - Rosie will be the “me too” girl - wanting to do whatever the “big girls” are doing. Then Ari is 6 weeks older than Rosie - and Stephen is 4 weeks older - It will be fun to have cousins that are the exact same age - they will be going through the same things at the same time - and they are just now getting to the point where they are starting to be able to play together. And we have another cousin on the way that will be here sometime in August - yay! someone for Rosie to boss around!
