Before kids grow up (and before the sibling rivalry, the growing pains, the pitfalls of sharing one bathroom, etc., etc., etc.,), there is a precious window of time where everyone just gets along– especially when they are quadruplets.
It’s safe to say that quad children are bonded from the moment of they’re born. Way before they come into the world, they learn on a cellular (and spiritual!) level how to share space and nutrients, and cope with one another’s sheer presence. This forms an unbreakable bond between quadruplets that is both challenging but beautiful.
This video shows four little girls who are all dressed in pink. Each one is also standing comfortable on her own two feet, wobble-walking over to hug another sister. The baby girls haphazardly shuffle around, then wander over and do it to another girl–there is no rhyme or reason. The two main huggers don’t hug each other, and the little girl who is first seen on the right takes the lead, eager to give and receive hugs, non-stop.
For a few minutes, the girls continue to engage in this cute and cuddly hug dance, each with smiles and giggles across her face. It’s truly a rare moment to capture–all four girls are in the same mood, not one feeling left out or down for a nap or feeding.
Their gesture is a great way to start expressing love during the early stages of development, realizing that they have something not many people have—three other humans very similar to themselves. After all, these home girls have each other for life.
