those sweet quiet moments

I was in the nursery this morning nursing the baby to sleep for his nap, and for a few rare moments, the house was quiet. I could hear the clocks ticking, the wind chimes outside ringing, and across the hall in our bedroom, Sean and Ben rustling underneath the covers hiding away for a "surprise" attack in case Mommy came in the room. They were quietly whispering and giggling back and forth, and then all of a sudden I heard this little exchange:

Ben: Non, oo doe I duv oo?
Sean: Yeah, Ben, I know I love you! ... Ben, you know I love you?
Ben: Uh.

Those sweet quiet moments that seem to come so rarely make all the other crazy ones totally worth it.
