Special Thanks

Dear Cousin Ian,

Thank you for letting me play with your toys and for sharing your stuffed animal friends. Thank you for helping me learn my first ever sign ("more"!) and for sharing your yummy snacks with me. I loved using your stroller, car seat, booster chair, and pack 'n play--the trip just wouldn't have worked as smoothly without those things! I loved watching Veggie Tales Silly Songs with you, especially the one about "pirate-y things" (get it?).

My favorite times were when we were being so silly on the beds and when we were hangin' out in the back seat together. I miss playing with my buddy & when I see your picture in my 'family book' I recognize you and give you a kiss! I think you are going to be a GREAT big brother!

Let's talk on skype soon.

Love,

Cousin J*

Dear Auntie Jen & Uncle Joseph,

You are the best! Thank you for all the fun mini-trips, for getting out all of that toddler equipment, and for being patient with my middle-of-the-night crying. Mama & I had a wonderful time at your house & visiting all of the fun places. Thank you for the yummy food and for teaching me how to ask for MORE with my hands (and for teaching Mama how to teach me!). Thank you for loving me and for being so much fun. I can't wait to see you again, next time you'll have another cousin for me to play with!

Love,

Nephew J*
