You and your cousin are first cousins. Your child and your cousin are first cousins, once removed. Your cousin's child and you are first cousins, once removed. Your child and your cousin's child are second cousins. If th3y have children, those children would be third cousins to eachother, and second cousin once removed to their parent's cousin.
