Yesterday, I woke up and my 9 month old woke up next to me. I know that I vowed that he would sleep in his crib by himself unlike his brother who slept on my bed until he turned 3. However, I was never true to my word. Anyway, once he woke up, I took him to wake up his older brother so that they could take their bath together as they have been doing for the last week or so. I put him on my 3 year old son's bed and waited for them to interact. He crawled up to my son who was still sleeping and planted a kiss on his head to wake him up. My heart just melted at this sight. I thought that it was just a coincidence but he did it a second time. I was so happy that I laughed like a maniac. I called my husband who was sitting on the living room. All he said was that it was normal since for the last 5 months of his life, my second son has been woken up by my eldest with kisses.
My second son is old enough to interact with his brother now. And so far, it has been very fun. The Lion King is very bossy and wants everything that the Little Prince has whether it is toys or just a bottle of water. So far, we have indulged him. My first born is learning to share and be gentle with his brother. It has caused issues in the past like that day when he burst into tears because his brother tore up a page of his book. But I guess it will teach him never to lay the toys he wants that bad around for the baby to play with.
There are days when I wonder what will I do with two sons? There are days when I just want to lock them in a room and forget about them. However, there a days just like yesterday when they both make my heart melt. And for those days, I cannot be grateful enough. I guess that some people are searching their lifetime for moments like that without never having them. And I am lucky enough to have them. I should never take them for granted.
