30-year-old father Eric Bruce, has come up with a unique way to bond with his young son.
While his wife Priscilla, is at work, Bruce turns every day moments with his son into witty dubsmash videos.
Bruce captures snippets from his time with Jack on film and transforms them by incorporating famous songs or iconic movie moments.
“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 told Today.
“And making sure his mum 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.”
Jack was born in December 2014 and had major surgery just three weeks later . The hospital stay made it tough for Priscilla to leave him when she started returning to her part time job. Bruce started making the videos to help her stay connected.
“It helps that I’m a huge ham,” said Bruce, who works at an art museum. “I had a blast, and it’s a great way to bond with him and learn how to be a dad and what to do with a baby when you’re alone with a baby for the day.”
Priscilla loves getting the videos. “It just makes me laugh out loud,” she said. “It’s really like a bright spot in my day.”
