Baby Best Friend

Ethan made my night. He made my day. My week. My month. Or even perhaps my year! We were going through bedtime. Just lying in each other arms, chatting about his day in the semi-darkness of the room. When suddenly, he turned his face to mine and gave me a tight hug.

“You’re my best friend,” he said.

“You’re mine!” I replied.

And then he hugged me tighter, snuggled in deeper, and slept.
