Prepare to be so smitten with this video. A 4-year-old brother shares adorable advice with his little sister.

Not only is this preschool boy a sweet big brother, but he has gone the extra mile in the night to climb into his little sister’s crib and have a sleepover. We see the little boy curled up next to his sleepy sister on the monitor. He innocently asks her if she would like to be his best friend. She says, “yeah.” He responds, “Okay.” He then asks if she wants to be a big girl. She says excitedly, “yes.” He tells her, “Okay, no crying and no pulling your hair, and no screaming, and tell mommy the truth.” He continues, “No lying and no screaming and no lying. Okay? So sleep.”

This adorable encounter was caught on a baby monitor, and the two of them lay there during their sleepover, where they agreed to be best friends and big kids. The little girl’s name is Kia. The mom shared that she was in tears watching the video and how it was comical because the list the brother gave to Kia included the things that she was working on with him.

The 2-year-old and 4-year-old are just at the start of a life-long friendship. This clip inspires us to love our own siblings well. It can be easy to feel in competition with them or be dealing with a history of hurts. However, God has given us the wonderful blessing of family, and we can love them well whether they are in the family of Christ or not. We can show Jesus’ love for them either way, just like this brother was intentional in his relationship with his little sister.
