These are such powerful moments......my heart melts whenever I see our girls sharing moments like this....given this little guy has down syndrome and how he's learned his words through music.....I think it makes this moment, maybe, just a bit more special.

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. *If you would like to use this video it is now licensed with Storyful.
