Brothers

Tonight, after tiny teeth were brushed and a stack of stories read, I looked at the boys and announced "bedtime!" Without hesitation, Matty ran into Tyler's room, jumped into his bed and declared "I sleep in this bed." I cautiously agreed before reminding them that Matty would be back in his crib if I heard any chatting.

A few minutes later, I hear a little voice..."I love you," followed by silence.

And again, "I love you."

No response.

And just in case he didn't hear the first two times, " I love you Ty."

"Shhh...I love you too Matty."
