Thanks, dahling :) I very much hope that it justifies your excitement!
Said cousin is only six weeks old, at present, so it's a very different kind of experience from my 16-month-old. He's cuddly and has that new-baby-smell and is sweet when he smiles, but it's not the same as spending my day with a kid I can actually meaningfully interact with, and, in particular, who can express affection. Tomorrow I'm going to have to stock up on hugs big time!
And thank you for turning me on to them, really :) They have SO much chemistry, in the best possible way. I think it's very possible that my opinion on them is being colored by the fact that I found them through you--I watch them do something just utterly sweet and affectionate and perfect and go "Awww, with emotion like that, who cares whether or not they're sleeping together?" Even when it's something that my slashy forebrain would usually pounce on (like them spending a surprising amount of the first episode taking off their clothes *fans self*), my brain only goes as far as "Maybe there'll be hugs!" You're clearly rubbing off on me, my dear XD
