Cousin Adventures and Mishaps

The last time Penelope and Evie were together, Evie was not mobile and let Penelope do whatever she wanted. Now, Evie is starting to learn to hold her own (or at least yelp in protest) when Penelope takes charge.

Penelope and Evie, seconds from a display of wills:

Evie relied on the weight of her body to win the first round of this match

Don't worry. There were some civil exchanges between the two as well. Like when Penelope persuaded Evie to give up the big shell in exchange for Penelope's reject shell.

Penelope also found a way to "share" the wagon.

Notice Evie's look of satisfaction and pride when she figured out how to distract Penelope ("Look! An airplane!") so that she could claim the wagon.

Penelope was, however, very excited to share in the celebration of Evie's 1st birthday.

The promise of cupcakes made the sharing of the attention much easier. 

But the waiting was difficult.

But worth it.

Evie thought so too.

Personally, I would like to savor this moment the two cousins had together and think that their future interactions would be more like this. Here's to hoping...
