Jude (7) got the sweetest letter ever from his cousin, Ivan (also 7). It was attached to a paper airplane and he intended to fly it here, but Katie convinced him to mail it. It reads, “Hi Jude! you’re the best costen [cousin]! I love you! You’re too good of a friend! I can’t stand it! You’re an outstanding friend! You’re outstanding! You got to the top of the clip chart! [Term Ivan’s school uses for best behaved kids] In coming for Jude! Love Ivan.” I love that Ivan and wish he was mine!
