When I ask my son George, who is best friend is, he always answers without fail, cousin Thomas. Thomas and George born just two months apart never fail to entertain each other, make each other and they never fail to have fun. I found this poem searching the web, I am not sure who the author is, but it rings true in every word about these two little boy, cousins and hopefully friends forever.
Why God Made Little Boys
God made the world out of his dreams
of mountains, oceans and streams,
prairies and plains, and wooded land.
Then he paused and thought,
"I need someone to stand on top of the mountains,
to conquer the seas, explore the plains, and climb the trees."
And So...
He created boys, full of spirit and fun,
to explore and conquer and romp and run.
With dirty faces and banged up chins,
with courteous hearts and boyish grins.
When he had completed the task, he had begun,
He surely said,
"That's a job well, done."

ReplyDeleteSo sweet! And I totally get that relationship, my sister & I have girls the same age, 10 yrs old now, that are absolutely joined at the hip! We joke about them backpacking thru Europe, then renting a loft in Soho, then winding up crazy old cat ladies together because they're so attached!

ReplyDeletethey are so adorable together! I am also very close to my own cousins and my daughter is also very close to her cousins too. Here is another quote that I love about cousins:
ReplyDeleteCousins are those childhood playmates who grow up to be forever friends. -anonymous.
What beautiful boys! I love the pictures and the beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I stopped by your cute blog! I'm a new follower and can't wait to read more! :)
They are too cute! My cousin was my best friend too when I was little. The one of them in their Halloween costumes melts my heart!
