This dad turned seemingly mundane moments in the life of a baby, into witty Dubsmash videos for his wife to enjoy during work.
When Eric Bruce’s wife Priscilla began working evenings as a part-time hair and makeup artist, Eric wanted to go above and beyond to make her feel included when he spent nights alone with their son Jack.
Jack is 1-year-old, and when he was just three weeks old, he was in the hospital for minor surgery. It was then that Eric began making the videos, so Priscilla felt more ok leaving him when she had to return to work. But, that wasn’t his only reason for creating the videos…Eric also felt it was important for their father/son relationship.
“It was a little glimpse into the past year of raising a baby and having good times together and bonding as father and son,” Eric Bruce told Today.com. “And making sure his mom was happy and in the loop after going back to work. … It’s the equivalent of updating her with a picture, but trying to do something a little more special.”
Priscilla says she loves getting the videos, “It just makes me laugh out loud,” she said. “It’s really like a bright spot in my day.”
The funny videos include lip syncing to Dana Carvey’s Choppin’ Broccoli and Justin Timberlake’s Cry Me a River, and Eric says he finds inspiration for his videos in Jack’s ordinary tasks.
Dad shares some valuable advice with Today.com,
“It’s hard raising a baby but none of it is a pain. It’s a treat and it’s all about perspective,” he says. “It’s challenging and tiring and you never know how exhausted you can be. “Those are the moments where you can make a decision to be happy about it or be upset he’s not eating his food,” he added. “I’d prefer to be the person who enjoys the moment.”
That’s definitely some food for thought!
