Amid all the gloomy news across the country, this heartwarming video of a toddler completely in love with his newborn sister is melting our hearts.
A family in Richland Township, Arkansas, shared a video of the moment when they brought home their seventh child—a newborn daughter—and were uncertain about how their 1-year-old son would react upon seeing her.
Ashlyn and Logan Williams had a new baby girl, Collyns, and were worried about how their baby boy would react to seeing her. It turns out they had no need to worry, as Brooks was over the moon to see her.
The little boy has Down syndrome, and so his parents were concerned about his reaction to seeing her, but the moment Collyns was placed on her father’s chest beside Brooks, he was completely awestruck with her.
Just look at his adorable expressions as he looks at his baby sister; he does not want to let her out of his sight for even a moment. Even when their mom takes Collyns into her arms, Brooks immediately bursts into tears.
“You want her back? OK, OK,” Ashlyn says off-camera. As she sets Collyns back down, Brooks stops crying and proceeds to gaze at his sister with such love that it moves every viewer to tears.
“I can just tell they are going to be best friends,” his mom said later. “It was really sweet, he already loves her so much. He is such a loving young boy, and we were just so tickled by his reaction.”
