The boys got a visit from their cousins Fiona and Philippa yesterday (Uncle Tom and Aunt Alison were there as well...). It has been a while since we've last seen them (it may even have been the boys' first birthday) but it didn't take long for the boys to warm up to everyone. Fiona is 7 years old and is great with younger kids! I was so impressed with how gentle and caring she was with them. Zachary followed her around all day and was constantly taking her by the hand so she would play with him. And as soon as Nicolas found out she was leaving, he was all about giving her lots of hugs.
It was a little harder with Philippa since she is only 4 years old. She hasn't quite understood that they are younger than her and are not trying to be mean by taking toys she is playing with. They just want to copy her and she doesn't realize that it's a compliment and not a bad thing. It will get easier in another year or so once she gets the whole "being a big cousin thing". But all in all, it was great...
