A mother caught her twin boys hugging each other over the bars of their cot and she said her heart ‘burst with love!’
Laura Dalton from Ellon, Aberdeenshire had just placed 18-month-old brothers Noah and Jacob Cantlay down for their afternoon nap when she checked the baby monitor of her kids had managed to sleep right away.
Because the two are very energetic, Laura expected to see them getting up and messing around. But as she looked at the screen, she was so delighted to see the tots giving each other a warm embrace.
Laura said she felt her heart burst as the children hugged each other over the wooden bars.
“They have a brilliant bond. This made me burst with love,” Laura shared.
“Because they do fight over toys, it’s lovely to know they love each other. I couldn’t believe it when I saw them hugging on the monitor.”
She continued: “They are quite cuddly boys anyway. They’re either wrestling or cuddling – there seems to be no in between. They either want to hug or fight.
“But when they’ve been fighting all day, it’s great to see [them hugging].”
Laura sent the heartwarming video to her fiancé, 28-year-old Fraser Cantlay.
“This was actually during their nap time. They were just going down for their afternoon nap,” Laura expressed.
“They never normally go to sleep straight away. They’ll romp about in their cots and chuck their teddies from one bed to the other.
“When I saw them I thought, ‘Oh my god, how cute.’ I’m quite used to them having a cuddle anyway, but it was the fact they were upstairs on their own.”
She added: “Fraser thought it was adorable too. I sent him the video at work and he said it was a brilliant video.
“So many people have said it needs to go viral. I’ll save this for when they’re older to show them.
“In a few years’ time, they’ll be getting up to all kinds of mischief, but they can’t just yet, so they’re cuddling instead.”
