Every kid seems to have that one toy they’re obsessed with. For 3-year-old Sylas of Philadelphia, it’s a baby doll named Ellie.

After Sylas asked for another sibling, his mom, Mary, lovingly surprised him with a baby doll. Now, videos of the 3-year-old tenderly caring for the baby boy doll are melting hearts across the internet.

“Sylas absolutely loves Ellie!” Mary told Upworthy. “I’m hoping by [these videos] getting so much attention that we can see the benefits of baby dolls and normalize boys having them as well! Boys deserve to learn how to nurture and love at a young age, just like girls.”

Mary has been documenting the many ways Sylas has developed nurturing skills while caring for Ellie.

“He enjoys giving Ellie milk and preparing food for him in his play kitchen,” she said. “He also makes sure Ellie uses the potty and doesn’t have accidents in his dinosaur costume.”
