Baby & Her Young Relatives - Put It in the Scrapbook!

My niece is the only female grandchild. My children are much older than she but they protect her like a sister. They play with her every chance they get. She, as a result, has become rather a tough customer. She’s just as rough and tumbling as they are. My niece has learned how to interact with other children from her cousins.
I have never seen my boys as gentle as they are when they feed her or rock her to sleep. I believe that they have learned something from her as well - girls aren’t so bad even if they are babies. You will find reliable babysitters in baby’s cousins.
Baby Picture Ideas:
Whenever baby gets together with their cousins, get them to pose for a few pictures together. Take a few candid shots of baby and cousins playing. She loves it when they make noises with the toys and crash cars together. She likes getting airplane rides and sitting on their shoulders. My niece also watches the boys play their video games.
You should also snap a few pictures of baby’s cousins playing babysitter. I remember the first time my son fed my niece her dinner. He was as messy as she was. Watching children interact with each other is interesting and fun.
Baby Scrapbooking Ideas:
If you wish, you can give each cousin their own page in the scrapbook if baby doesn’t have too many cousins that they see on a regular basis. Let the cousins’ help decorate their scrapbook page. They can choose the background and help you paste down the pictures and decorations.
They can even caption the pictures or write stories, explaining what they were doing with baby when the pictures were taken. Children love to draw pictures. Let the cousins draw pictures about their baby. Or guess what the baby will be when she grows up. Title the page with baby’s name and the name of each cousin.
