Cousin Swap

What's a cousin swap? Only the most peaceful week of my summer!!! Julia and I came up with the idea to switch a couple of kids for a week. So, Kennedy went to her home and Kylee came to mine. The biggest plus- our big kids had someone to play with and were away from the sibling they fight with the most.
I wondered how Brayden and Kylee would get along being a boy and a girl, but they behaved like good friends. No fighting, arguing, or name calling. They kept each other company and Brayden did not tell me he was bored the entire week.
I didn't know how I'd manage without Kennedy because she has been so helpful with the baby, but Brayden, Kylee, and Rex occupied themselves and I was able to take care of Emerson just fine.
We went to the Children's Museum, Wannamaker park, and took Emerson to her first movie. Kylee was so much fun to have around and such a calming influence on Brayden. She's welcome to stay with us anytime.
Kennedy has a lot of fun playing with Ryan, too. And Aunt Julia took her to see some horses.
It was a great week because the cousins were able to spend an extended time together and grow closer as friends. I hope we get to do it again soon.
