Boy Sings ‘10,000 Hours’ to Baby Brother With Down Syndrome, Melting Our Hearts

Chances are, if you’ve heard the Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber song "10,000 Hours," you’ve gotten it stuck in your head (more than a few times). And if not, a new viral video shared by Arkansas mom Nicole Powell is about to get it stuck in there for good.

The video, which was originally shared on December 30, features her 6-year-old son, Rayce, lovingly singing it to his newborn brother, Tripp, and the internet just can’t get enough.

Baby Tripp was born just 7 weeks ago. The newborn, who lives with his family in Cabot, Arkansas, had a bit of a rocky start to life. Tripp was born with Down syndrome, and spent the first weeks of his life in the NICU. Throughout that time, his family visited the hospital every single day — including his big brother, Rayce.

"From the minute [Tripp] was born, Rayce was like: ‘Hand me the baby,’" Powell recently told Good Morning America. "Each day after school, he would just talk and talk to Tripp, telling the baby all about his day."

Before long, Rayce picked a song to sing to his little brother. "Every time it would come on he would just tell Tripp, ‘This song’s for you,’" Powell told GMA. Eventually, she captured the heart-melting video on her phone, and decided to share it on Facebook. When she went to sleep last Monday, the video had 10 shares. By the time she woke the next morning, it was up to a staggering ONE MILLION views.
