When we went to Utah recently, Sarah got to meet her cousin Eli for the first time. Eli is half her age, and probably outweighs her - he's a real hunk, and cute as all get-out.
At this point, Sarah was just barely able to sit on her own for a few moments, so we propped up Eli, and sat Sarah down next to him. She thought his shoe was a great toy.
"Look, Mom - a shoe" - I don't think she'd noticed Eli yet - just his shoe.
"Can I eat this shoe, Mom?"
And then, Sarah's balancing prowess came to an end. Or maybe she decided to show a little love to cousin Eli.
Eli looks a little surprised, don't you think?
"I've fallen and I can't get up!"
"Eli's pulling my hair!""Serves you right for eating my shoe!"
I remember many family gatherings where 3 boy cousins my same age loved to torment the heck out of me. Looks like they start young...
