cousins

ok, ok, ok. i know we are long overdue for a post here, and i will try to do better. blame it on being pregnant (this pregnancy has actually been quite a bit harder on me than boden's. thought the 2nd was supposed to be easier. go figure.). anyway, here is just a little tidbit. i'll try to do more later.

last night the 3 of us were eating dinner (the 4 of us if you count the baby, as eric almost always does now days :) ). boden started talking about micah (micah is boden's newest cousin and we had just looked at pictures of him that aunt shelle sent out earlier in the day). i was like, yes, micah is your new baby cousin. then boden said, katie. this surprised us, and we said, yes, katie is your cousin too. he immediatly went on to say nathan. we were very surprised. we have talked about his cousins and all, but have not made a huge effort to categorize them into the whole cousin thing. he couldn't come up with any more on his own right then, though i thought i'd get him to say jason, because he will often talk about jason (jason has made an impact on him with sharing his stickers and cars and riding his scooter at the campground). so, we talked about his other cousins then. today i tried it out again and asked him who his cousins were. he repeatedly offered up micah again and naty (natalie). so anyway, we thought this was a pretty big deal. boden just continues to amaze us! the best part about it all is that all the cousins will be getting together plenty this weekend, so that will be for sure a bunch of fun!
