Cousin Time
One of Daniel Josiah’s highlights of our Japan trip was waking up each morning and getting to play with his cousin, Noa, whose house we stayed at (Sara-Beth and I got to re-experience college housemate days, except add spouse and children). Daniel Josiah’s favorite activities included stealing anything Noa found interesting, teaching Noa the word “No!” (always spoken with the exclamation point), and mooching off of Noa’s high chair plate. Fortunately, Noa was “very shareful” as Aunt Sara-Beth always said, and she was a very good sport to Daniel Josiah’s high energy, forceful contact, and “i’m a two year old boy” kind of play.
