Lila walked over to the car seat, focusing on the baby. She continues to look at him thoughtfully for a short while before walking back.
“Oh, yeah,” whispers the 5-year-old, jumping around and pumping his fists.
“We thought he was going to lash out and everyone was going to start crying … but it ended up being amazing,” Zach says of the moment in a confessional.
