Most nights I get woken up to five or six times a night. Tonight it’s quiet and I can’t sleep. I’ve gotten up twice to check both kids are breathing, not too hot and monitors are working.
Today I saw my two children hug in the stairwell when I wasn’t there prompting it or telling them to do it. I don’t know why. But I caught the end of this innocent moment of affection between two siblings and I could’ve cried with joy but I just watched and took the moment in.
Moments of unprompted affection between a special big brother and an adoring baby sister are the sweetest thing you can ever see in the wild.
