Mom Amanda Bowman Gray asked her daughter to watch her 2-year-old son Bo while she took a shower, and when she returned to check on them she was taken by surprise.
Her daughter sat on the floor with her guitar propped on her lap with little Bo right next to her. The adorable duo started singing «You Are My Sunshine» and Amanda knew she had to capture this special moment on video. Bo has Down Syndrome and only knows how to say 12 words, and singing with his sister has helped him improve his vocabulary.
«If she didn’t have a guitar I don’t know if she would know how to babysit him,» writes Amanda on her Facebook video of their performance, which has already been viewed over 54 million times!
Her daughter, Lydia, is a natural on the guitar and pauses during the song so Bo can sing his line. You can tell this is not the first time they’ve sung a duet together because they’re so comfortable with each other and in sync.
«It’s proof that music therapy works. Bo is 25 months old and has a 12-word vocabulary. Every word he has learned has been through music and singing,» said Amanda.
This is such an adorable brother-sister moment that we bet you’re eager to see! The video is below for you to enjoy 🙂 WARNING: You may need tissues by the end of it!
