Last night, at about 2 am, I heard one of the boys get up and go to the bathroom. Shortly after, Kai crawled into the bed with me.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“My tummy hurts,” he said. “But I feel better being in here. I feel better being next to you.”
While hearing your child up with a tummy ache in the middle of the night is never fun, hearing him say he feels better next to you simply melts your heart. As the boys grow older, these type of moments are less frequent than when a kiss from mommy cured all their boo boos, or “tough boys.” So, I delight in these moments, even at 2 am.
