Gabrielle Union’s Daughter Kaavia Did the Sweetest Thing for a Hurt Ladybug in a New Video
Kaavia James may be Shady Baby to people, but to creatures of the world? She has a heart of gold! A new video of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s 5-year-old daughter revealed her kind spirit when a ladybug got hurt, and it’s so cute!
It all started on the trampoline. Kaavia and her mom are jumping together on a bright, sunny day. The Bring It On alum is struggling to keep up with her energetic daughter a little — “Have you heard of hip replacement, Kaav?” — but otherwise, they are both having a great time. Suddenly, Union spots a ladybug on the trampoline. It’s not a great place for a tiny bug, obviously, and upon closer inspection, Union calls her death. “No, she didn’t make it,” she tells her daughter.
Kaavia tries to pick her up, and Union suggests they “go bury her.” “We need to give her back to the earth,” Union explains. They find a nice spot to put the ladybug, and Kaavia brings a flower to lie next to the insect. Next, Kaavia lifts up her prayer hands to complete the cute ladybug funeral.
“Dear Jesus,” she began. “Help the ladybug to be not died and go back to his family. In Jesus’ name, amen.” Not Kaavia praying for the resurrection of the ladybug! Union seems a little caught off guard, telling her daughter: “Anything’s possible.” The composure is admirable! And, hey, you never know! Maybe the ladybug was just sleeping…
“The ladybug comes alive!” Kaavia declares, and Union’s face is so funny. She has a this is so awkward expression that is too relatable. You don’t want to crush your child’s dreams, but at the same time the chances are low that this ladybug will suddenly become undead. As Union says later, “that would be the zombie apocalypse.”
At the end, Kaavia jumps up and tells her mom it’s time to go “back to work” as she heads to the trampoline. That’s that, I guess!
“#RIPLadyBug unlessssss ????,” the cute video was captioned. After all, anything is possible!
“She said what she said!!! She said my prayers hold weight and it is already done!!! Now back to workkk ????????????” one person said. Another wrote, “Kaav said prayers up! Welp! Back to work ????????????”
The Perfect Find star, who is also stepmom to Wade’s kids Zaya, Zaire, Xavier, and Dahveon, recently reflected on how motherhood has changed her. “There’s no greater hood than motherhood if you ask me!” she wrote on Mother’s Day. “Having the privilege to play a part in these young lives that surround me has humbled and enlightened me in ways words cannot explain. Sometimes I ask myself, ‘How did I get so lucky?’”
In the post, which included several photos of her and the kids, Union added, “Nonetheless, thank you for teaching me patience, kindness, and love. You’ve forever changed me for the better.”
