Welcoming a newborn child is truly delightful unless you have another confused kid at home who turns it into a hilarious experience. This parenting video of a toddler mistaking her newborn sister for a baby “doll” while her mom and dad sit laughing next to her is going viral on Instagram. The parents captured the adorable and equally humorous moment in the clip that will surely make for a silly joke between the siblings one day. Anaïs Peña, the mom, first dropped the video last year and recently reposted it in a major throwback moment as she recalled the “core memory.”
Toddler pushes buttons on baby sister thinking she’s a doll in viral video
This viral video of a toddler pushing her newborn sister’s “buttons,” thinking she was a baby “doll,” was a peak parenting moment. Sharing the heartwarming moment with the internet, the mom of two, Anaïs Peña, posted the short clip on Instagram, showing the hilarious moment to the world and proving the “core memory” was worth sharing. The video documented when Anaïs and her husband introduced their elder daughter, Lyla, to her baby sister, Isabella. The parents handed Lyla the baby girl when the siblings’ first interaction took a funny turn.
In the video, Lyla said “push button” while holding her sister and gently caressed the baby’s chest, looking for one. The unexpected reaction prompted the parents to burst into laughter while their elder daughter continued vocalizing her observations. “Baby sleeping,” she said while the dad helped her hold the newborn with additional support, and Anaïs, fondling the baby’s head, chuckled at the response. The couple then explained to Lyla that she was a “real baby,” but the girl repeated, “Push button.”
The toddler’s remarks about her newborn sister being a baby doll in the viral parenting video certainly left an impression on the commenters, who carried forward the sentiment. One user wrote, “There’s no off button when she’ll cry,” while another urged her to keep looking for it, claiming, “there’s definitely a button for crying.” Many more called the video “cute” and the interaction between the siblings a “precious moment.” One more individual joked how Lyla has an “entire lifetime to push her sister’s buttons.”
Anaïs Peña first posted the video in 2024, including once in December when she captioned it, “My favorite reel of 2024. This moment will forever be in my heart! Now they’re bestie.”
