“I was making them for old home videos for him and my older son so when they’re older, they can see it and look back on the childhood memories. I had no idea it was going to do what it did,” the proud dad mused.
Many netizens found it adorable that though baby Kingston could not talk yet, Daddy Deztin did not let the gibberish stop them from having a ‘real’ conversation. It was hilarious, adorable, and so full of love.
