Little Moments

Sometimes it is the little moments that make being a mom so special. On Saturday, I had put Grace in her swing to nap while Atticus played in the living room and I did some things in the kitchen. I kept an eye on Atticus because he would constantly go over to check on Grace or turn her swing music on and off and I'd remind him to be gentle. A few minutes went by and I noticed him taking her two of her blankets and walking to her swing. As she slept and swung, he put both blankets on top of her making sure that the entire blanket was on top of her and none was hitting the ground. He just looked at her and then walked away continuing to eat out of his snack cup and back to the living room to play. I never spoke to him or reminded him to be gentle and just watched him. My heart completely melted, as it tends to do so regularly. He loves her so much and I pray that they become close friends as children and that it lasts forever.
