Boy With Down Syndrome Comforts Baby Brother | Video
A Mom Couldn't Get Her Baby to Calm Down Until Her Son With Down Syndrome Stepped In
*To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please email licensing@storyful.com* Dead! This video... 😍 I could not get our buddy, baby Alek to calm down yesterday. Welles climbed up into the chair and said “mom... baby?” with his arms stretched out. At that point, I decided he had tummy bubbles and I would let Welles just give him a quick love and then I would go back to rubbing his belly. As soon as I handed him over... he calmed. Welles sat and cuddled him, taking his job of baby whisperer very seriously, as I sat watching... thinking yet again... man, this kid is magical! #downsyndrome #babylover #nothingdownaboutit
