Welcoming a new baby into your home is both exciting and challenging, especially when you already have kids in the house.

Some children become too excited to welcome the new baby, while others start showing signs of jealousy. That is the reason why it’s advisable to prepare them mentally, emotionally, and even physically before meeting the new baby.

As parents, we need to be aware of the signs that our kids are showing for us to prepare them properly. For some kids, allowing them to have their own responsibilities when their younger sibling arrives will help. While for some, explaining to them that the attention that was once theirs will now be shared.

While there are so many things to consider, there is nothing more beautiful than seeing our kids meet their new sibling, or in this case, their newborn cousin.

We just love seeing the reaction of children once they meet the little bundle of joy that will join their family, and this is exactly what we can expect from this short video, and maybe more.

This video is just what we all need to brighten up our day, and we’re sure that you would want to share it with everyone too.

According to Daily Mail, this video was filmed in Simi Valley, California, where the little girl’s family lived. The video starts as we see a beautiful young girl with two cushions on her lap.

She is seen smiling as one woman goes up to her and gently hands her the newborn. She then carefully snuggles the newborn baby and gives her a gentle kiss.

She looks at the camera, and then her tears start falling.

This little girl couldn’t contain her happiness and the love she feels for her little cousin. She looks at the baby and gives her another kiss.

We then hear a woman ask her if she thinks the baby is cute and if she loves her, to which the little girl replies with a sweet nod and then kisses her tiny cousin again.

It was a magical moment for these two.

We can definitely feel her genuine love for the little baby. We’re guessing her parents felt the same and that they felt proud of their daughter.

The newborn baby then started crying a bit, but this didn’t scare her big cousin. Instead, she gently stroked the newborn’s leg until she calms down.

Most children her age wouldn’t really feel this connection, and that’s what makes this video stand out among the rest.

This little girl is definitely ready to be a big sister, and we’re sure that she would take good care of her younger siblings and cousins. She has it in her, the love, patience, and the sense of responsibility to care and protect.

Anyone would be lucky to have this girl as their cousin or big sister.

We understand if you felt the urge to cry because we certainly did. It’s such a beautiful video worth sharing to everyone, don’t you agree?
