While Elyse and Josh may be “deep in out little love bubble,” Zaii’s big brother Sunny, 2, was not as enthusiastic for his siblings arrival.

“Sunny took some warming up,” wrote Knowles, adding, “I pictured this beautiful moment for 9 months of Sunny meeting the baby, but Sunny didn’t want a bar of him.”

“Well this is not how I thought it was going to go,” Knowles joked in her video, with eldest child Sunny repeatedly crying “put it back.”

“My first born called his brother ‘the baby’ for six months!!! As if using his name made it real!! They’ll be besties soon!!,” replied one fan, with many others laughing at Sunny’s blunt reaction.

Fortunately, it appears Sunny did eventually wrap his head around having a baby brother, with Knowles sharing a sweet photo of the two boys together.
