Cousin/Cousine





By far, the boys' favorite thing about Club Med was having their cousins around. We got there about 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon and within about 1/2 hour they were all in the pool climbing all over each other and Pops and blasting each other with water guns. Jamie and Liam always have a great time because they are close in both age and spirit, but Jamie was in Finn's group at the Mini Club Med so it was great that the two of them got to be silly together. And Connor and Emma hit it off particularly well. She was so sweet with him, watching after him and helping him. At some point he was trying to climb up one of the ladders to go down the waterslide and a bigger kid was trying to push him out of the way. Emma formed a kind of human wall and shielded Connor while he made his way up the ladder. One night as we were going to dinner, Jamie went running off after the rest of the cousins. Connor did his little move where he runs in place like the RoadRunner before zipping off saying, "I goin' get the cousins!" Later we said, "Connor, aren't cousins great?" "Yeah," he said with great earnestness, "and Emma is the BEST!!"
