My mom and brother Steven are in town visiting my sister Jan for a while and so E and I went over to Jan’s house yesterday to hang out for a bit. Sadly, E had apparently been traumatized by us dropping him off at Jan’s when we went to the Camera Obscura concert earlier this week because as soon as I pulled into the driveway he started crying, convinced that I was going to leave him.
E’s cousins A and J are really great with him. Nine year-old A wanted to cheer up E and so he built him a rattle out of Legos which was a big hit. But E cheered up even more when we went outside to play. He loved bopping around on the trampoline.
His cousins were really good about making sure E was safe on the trampoline.

Aw, cute! You know, my nephew that's about the same age as E has major separation anxiety lately. Like, whenever we come over he's frantic to find his mom to make sure she didn't leave him before he will acknowledge us. I wonder if that's part of his age?
Wow! He's growing up so fast! He looks more and more like a little boy instead of a baby in every post.
Jan's kids are such big boys! So cute that they watch out for their little cousin. I love the lego rattle idea.
Looks like lots of fun!
My toddler has also been having major separation anxiety lately…
