A young boy with Down syndrome was caught on camera singing like a pro while his sister was playing ‘You Are My Sunshine’ on her guitar.
Bo Gray was just 25 months old when he became an internet sensation after his sister, Lydia, shared a video of the two of them singing together.
As the family admitted, the young boy only knew 12 words at the time, all of which he learned through singing his favorite song ‘You Are My Sunshine.’
The heartwarming video was recorded by the siblings’ mother, Amanda, and racked up over 62 million views on Facebook alone since it was shared two years ago.
As Amanda explained, Bo’s sister, Lydia, loves nothing more than playing the guitar and singing with her brother. While his speech may be limited, the little guy has no problems expressing himself through music.
One day, Amanda was showering when she heard the kids getting ready for a home concert. And so, she grabbed her phone and decided to record their performance.
While Bo’s sister was playing “You Are My Sunshine,” the little boy was singing along with his sister. And when he struggled to pronounce some words, the girl patiently waited for him to pull through.
“My daughter Lydia was watching Bo while I was in the shower. Came out to this. If she didn’t have a guitar I don’t know if she would know how to babysit him.
“This is her go-to. 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,” Amanda wrote in her Facebook post.
