In a heartwarming viral clip, a crying toddler finds solace in the embrace of her baby sister. Meet big sister Mia, who is having one of those mornings we can all relate to—waking up in tears.
As the video unfolds, Mia makes her way to the living room with her little face scrunched up in distress. Her mom, Rachel Thompson, turns the camera on herself and says what every mom is thinking in that moment: “This is going to be a loooong day.” We feel you, Rachel. Total mom solidarity.
Rachel confesses she had a rough night, likely thanks to the newborn snuggled in her arms. Just as we start reminiscing about those sleepless nights and swear off babies forever, a moment of pure baby magic occurs.
While sitting with her infant daughter, Lily, Rachel asks Mia, “What’s the matter?” In a sweet twist, Mia hops onto the couch, wraps her tiny arms around baby Lily’s cheeks, and holds her close. “Did you wake up grumpy?” Rachel inquires, and Mia nods, gently stroking her baby sister’s head. Suddenly, the room is filled with calm, and the tears vanish. Now, who wouldn’t want a baby after witnessing this? Actually, we want five of them, just like this!
When siblings are born close in age, there are bound to be challenging moments. But then, there are beautiful instances like this, offering a glimpse into the future where siblings find comfort in one another. It’s truly what every parent dreams of.
In her sweet little voice, Mia coos, “Awwww, I love her so much.” The sniffles are replaced by smiles, and we can’t help but feel a little flutter in our hearts.
The video has garnered over 150,000 views on the family’s YouTube channel, Life As We Know It. Rachel shared with TODAY that 2-year-old Mia has taken to always being beside baby Lily, whether holding her hand or gently rubbing her head. Can you blame her? Who wouldn’t want to be part of this level of cuteness?
