Awesome - Camera Records What Girl And Brother Do At Night. Parents Are Shocked!
What was causing it? Lack of sleep? Maybe nightmares?
They had checked off a lot of common kid ailments. So what could it have been? Whatever was going on was causing more frustration than anything else. Her kids weren't telling her anything if they knew the reason behind everything.
Wonderful Family
Valerie felt blessed to have kids. She knew she was quite lucky.
Her children, Vivian and Levi, got along so well. Valerie knew some siblings bickered endlessly but her kids loved each other. Levi took his big brother duties seriously.
The First Clue
The two siblings slept in one bedroom. It was economical for Valerie's two-bedroom Santa Monica house. It had always seemed to work out fine.
Valerie first started noticing something strange. But she overlooked it since she thought that it was nothing to worry about. But then it got worse with her son Levi.
What’s Going On?
She noticed that her little angel was tired. Like he hadn't gotten much rest. But that couldn't be the case, could it?
She asked her son with concern if anything was the matter. Levi looked up at her and just shrugged his shoulders before continuing to eat his cereal. It wouldn't be the last time either.
No Answers
Her kids were normally bundles of glee. But recently her son was drained of all his energy. Why wouldn't he tell her what was wrong?
“How about you guys sleep in our bed tonight?” She knew she had to step in to solve things. But Levi didn't seem pleased by this idea. He just shook his head.
Something About Her Blanket
Even Valerie's daughter didn't give her any information. She just shook her head and said, “Levi got my Binky.”
Maybe she meant her blanket? Had she given it to Levi or had he snatched it from her? She decided to check their beds the next night to make sure everything went well.
Easy Solution
Valerie was luckily no stranger to electronics. She decided to set up a camera in their bedroom.
Valerie lay awake in bed trying to think of what could have been going on. It was a sleepless 8 hours to check the cameras and found out the truth.
Scrambling For The Footage
Levi looked like he had the last few days. Like a fatigued little zombie. Vivian seemed to be happy though, wolfing down her breakfast.
Maybe Levi was struggling to sleep? Maybe nightmares? As soon as they left to go play she decided to check the recording from the previous night. But the footage would have her in disbelief.
Sleepless Kiddos
Vivian rolled in her crib and then stood against the railing and looked over at her brother.
“Levi, I’m talking to you, I want to lay down in your bed right there while taking my baby,' she says, looking over at her doll. Levi sat straight. “Again?!” Levi stood up and walked towards the crib.
“Tank You”
What happened next, completely melted her heart.
Levi said, “Let me think.” Then, a split second later said it was okay. She watched as her little girl started to climb the crib walls and Levi rushed over to put a stool under her feet. “Tank you, Levi,” Vivian whispered. Things only got cuter from there.
Scaling The Railing
Valerie watched as her tiny tot got up and gripped the railing.
She wondered if she had figured out the latch system, but then suddenly, her daughter swung her little leg up and over the edge. Her mom-heart screamed with fear. For a kid, it was a long way to fall to the floor. What happened then made her eyes go wide.
Big Brother To The Rescue
Levi jumped out of bed and dragged over their kid stool.
He placed it just under where his sister would land and watched carefully as she maneuvered her way day – offering help if she wanted it. It was at that point, Valerie called her husband, Chris, over.
Forgetful Tot
His eyes went huge as she pressed pause and caught him up on what was happening.
When she pressed play again, the next scene sent their laughter echoing through the house. Viv turned around and said, “Oh, I forgot my Binky!” Levi rolled his eyes and said, “Oh god! Your Binky.” She rushed back to the crib and grabbed a piece of material.
Oops! Wrong Blanket
Levi giggled. “That’s your pjs!”
Her daughter paused, looking back at the crib. Scaling back inside must have seemed like going up a mountain. “That’s okay!” But just before she could crawl into bed, Levi’s big brother instincts caught something.
Taking Over
“You forgot your baby,” he whispered.
He was only a year older, but he approached the crib like it was nothing. He scaled the side and grabbed the blanket and doll. However, by then, Viv seemed to have forgotten something important and was already on the other side of the room.
Helping Each Other
Levi reached out over the railing and waved the dolly.
“Hold it,” he instructs. The lightbulb in Vivian’s head goes off and she realises she had forgotten her vital nap equipment. She rushed back and snatched the item. Levi then hopped back in bed and lifted the covers so Vivian could join him. It wasn’t until the early hours of the morning did the next phase of their little ritual appear.
Morning Cover-Up
Levi woke up and poked his sister.
“Get in your bed,” he said, helping Vivian up from her drowsy slumber. He carefully put her back in her bed, covered her with her Binky, and tucked her doll under her arm. He finished it off with a pat on the head and a kiss on the cheek before returning to his own covers.
Mystery Solved
As the touching scene ended, Valeri and Chris looked at each other.
They both had tears of joy in their eyes. The entire thing was so cute, they felt like their hearts would explode. The mystery was solved. However, there was something else important they knew they had to do … and immediately.
Showing The World
They knew why Levi was so tired, but they now knew that there wasn’t anything serious going on. It was just a brother and sister looking out for each other.
Valerie immediately posted it on the family’s social media site. What was the world’s reaction?
What Would Everyone Think?
It’s no secret that every parent thinks their child is the bee’s knees.
However, from the outside, maybe a gurgling burp or screaming tantrum over mismatched socks wasn’t going to tug at many heartstrings. That was okay. It was totally normal. At most, Valeria hoped their closest friends and family would get a kick out of the whole thing. Then, the likes started to pour in.
Raking In The Likes
Only a couple days later, the video had spiked to over 50,000 views!
But that was only the start. Comments from all over the world poured in. Everyone was so touched by the scene. It wasn’t long until the video reached over 1 million! Then, Valerie got a phone call she would have never thought possible.
Celebrity Notice
The Ellen DeGeneres show wanted to fly them out to be on the show!
Both her and Chris giggled with glee. Even Vivian and Levi understood the idea of a free vacation that included a plane ride. Only a few weeks later, they found themselves sitting beside the famous host.
More Surprises
Valerie’s stomach fluttered with nervous butterflies.
But as her kids took the reins and talked with the host about loving each other, and even a bit of summer camping, she relaxed into the adorable conversation. The feel-good story was something everyone loved. But she had no idea there was another surprise coming.
Free Trip!
Ellen grinned at them and said, “I understand you guys like Disney.”
“Well, Shutterfly loves stories like this, and we both want to send all of you to Disneyworld.” An assistant came out and set an enormous gift basket in front of them – complete with fast passes and a luxury hotel stay!
Something More Important
It was more than they had ever imagined.
But it wasn’t the dream family vacation that held a special place in their hearts. No, it was something far more profound. First, she and Chris knew that no matter what, Viv and Levi would be there for each other. The second part had stretched across the entire world.
Truly Blessed
The conversation the video had sparked was out of this world.
It was a heartwarming swirl of ideas on politeness, kindness, and inclusivity. It reiterated that now, more than ever, people need to stick together. Valerie was truly blessed to have such amazing children!
