In the eyes of a three year old, a 12 year old cousin is someone that is looked up to, emulated, even idolized. Cousin Dee Dee is all that to Thing 3 and more. Dee Dee is talked about all the time, "Go Dee Dee's house?" "Dee Dee come my house?" When it was announced we would be spending Easter with the family, you would have thought he was getting a second Christmas! As soon as we pulled up to my sister-in-law's house and he saw Dee Dee playing in the yard he started screaming! I thought he was going to jump out of the truck still strapped to his car seat!
Dee Dee seems to have a soft spot for Thing 3 as well. No matter what the "big boys" are playing, Thing 3 is always invited to play. Then these special moments happen, where the two of them head to the beach to throw rocks and sticks, and just hang with each other.
Seeing these two together absolutely melts my heart! What a special thing to have such a strong bond with your cousin. To have someone to look up to and idolize. Very special indeed.
