imo.....
i dont think you are over reacting at all. I would feel the same way! Its so upsetting when children hurt our babies (intentionally or unintentionally). I think you should tell you cousin how you feel about the way she handled the situation and ask her to put herself in your shoes. But i also think 2 year olds are still growing, some still cant even talk, so i'm sure your cousin wasn't trying to make light of the situation, she probably just felt that shouting or "really" disciplining a 2 year old was not the best and just wanted to tell the baby to be nice to all living beings.
this is a tricking situation because this child is so very young, but liked i said, just talk to your cousin, share your feelings. im sure she didnt mean to upset you.
i hope princess will be ok and wont have permanent fear of children now.
