I love the little moments with my family. I guess that is why I called this blog what I did. I want to hold on to the moments that we have as a family whether they are tiny or big. Moments like the one I want to share today. It wasn't an event or something major, but just a moment that I don't want to forget.
Yesterday Sarah stayed home from school as her stomach was bothering her. She got up this morning feeling better and ready to head back to school. Typically once Sarah gets into the shower Brayden wakes up. His routine is to stand outside the bathroom door saying "Hi, Sarah" over and over again until she answers her little brother back, then Brayden heads downstairs to find me at the kitchen table (another favorite moment of mine, but that is for another post).
This morning, however, Brayden added a little something to the short, but sweet dialogue.
Brayden: Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah.
Sarah: Hi, buddy.
Brayden: Is your tummy feeling better?
Melt this Mommy's heart. The fact that he remembered that his sis wasn't feeling good the day before and wanted to see how she was feeling. Maybe it is just a mommy moment and this post is just for my memory, but I love that Brayden loves his sister and cares how she is feeling.
No, not everyday is all roses between the two of them, they have their moments of bugging each other but for the most part they are very loving and caring for each other. If they fight it is usually over who is going to sit in which chair when they eat in the living room. I pray that their love and care for one another won't change over the years, but will only grow deeper as sister and brother.
For today though I think of this moment and smile. It makes me happy.
