Cousins in Training


Jake and Rhett have an interesting relationship right now. They love each other. They both are very excited to see each other when Jake gets a chance to visit. Rhett thinks Jake is his cool cousin with the fun big boy toys and funky sunglasses. Jake seems to enjoy being the older cousin and know that Rhett is looking up to him. He is very proud to help and guide Rhett and never afraid to make sure he is doing the right thing. He keeps a pretty close eye on his little buddy. Although, things are no always perfect between these two boys. One minute happily playing together and the next minute working through power struggles over toys and adult attention. There will be more challenges ahead as these two boys build their relationship, but it will be worth it in the end as they become friends.

I love the look on Rhett's face in this picture. He seems happy to get a hug from Jake... but there is a unsure look in his eyes. As if he is questioning Jake's motives, He would't let me play with his Woody doll. Why is he being so nice to me now? Evidence of their love/jealousy relationship.
