Your cousins child = your cousin once removed.

Right ?

Yep.

First Cousins share a same set of grandparents (and aren't brother or sister).

2nd cousins a same set of great-grandparents (and aren't first cousins).

3rd cousins share a set of great great grandparents etc etc.

The once removed bit, refers to generations. Eg my cousin's kids, are my first cousins once removed.

My cousins kids, children are my first cousins twice removed. Etc etc.

Or call them all cousins and don't worry about it.
