Visits with The Cousin

Bentley (and, of course, Genevieve and Jackson) have a second cousin, Felicity, who lives nearby. She's two days older than Bentley. It's been months since he spent much time with her because Alaskan summers are very chaotic--and, how could I have forgotten?--the twins' birth had a negative impact on Bentley's play dates. However, now it's September and in the past eight days the cousins have gotten together three times!

Bentley has been a great host and shares all his toys with his cousin. He even shares his dad's computer:

He shares his food with her (better than having to eat it himself!):


And he got her help to try to destroy the baby gate at the top of the staircase. Fortunately the duo were not successful:


The only items that Bentley did not like sharing were his favorite blankets. (No photo available--the photographers were refereeing the blanket tug-of-war contests.) He won't share them with the twins and he sure isn't sharing them with a cousin. However, she was quite welcome to any of the twins' blankets.
