You're a Cousin!

Dear Vinny,

On the Sunday when Grandma and Grandpa were here, your newest cousin, Samuel, was born.  You were really excited about him being born because you wanted to hold him and shush him soothingly.  That next Wednesday, you got to do just that.

It was a big contrast to see you next to Cousin Samuel, and to think that four years ago, you weren't much bigger than Samuel is now!  You held him and kissed him and told him that you loved him, in addition to shushing him.

This was the first time you got to meet him, but you'll be seeing a lot more of Cousin Samuel.  I hope that the two of you will grow up to be great friends!

Love,
Mama
