They say laughter is contagious, but it's 10 times more contagious when a baby is doing said laughing [3] — and about 20 times more when that baby is Winston Moore [4]. A 1-year-old from Delaware, Winston has become quite the internet sensation this week after a clip of him uncontrollably laughing while practicing the alphabet with his dad, Pedro, went viral on social media.
In the adorable clip first shared by Pedro on Instagram, the father-son duo is seen hanging out at home and rehearsing the ABCs — well, two letters in particular. Every time Pedro flips a blue "W" cutout letter upside down to make it an "M" and vice versa, Winston giddily recites the letter while erupting into a continuous giggle capable of melting even the coldest of hearts. Shortly after Pedro blessed his Instagram followers with the precious video, it was reposted far and wide across the internet [5], even catching the attention of Kelly Clarkson [6], who shared the it and interviewed the Moore family via video chat on her new daytime talkshow [7]!
Pedro said he, his wife, Kiara, and Winston's grandmother have incorporated similar lessons into the 1-year-old's routine so he's constantly learning and practicing. "Teachers always say learning doesn't stop in the classroom [and] it should continue at home, so I wanted to put that in practice," he told POPSUGAR via email, adding that the youngster is currently learning the alphabet in sign language at daycare. What a smartie pants!
