A boy is drawing attention on TikTok for his “infectious” enthusiasm for his grandfather’s arrival

A little boy and his grandfather appear to be spreading smiles on social media after their bond was shared in a mashup video that garnered nearly a million views on TikTok.

The grandfather, affectionately known as “Bop,” has a close relationship with his 2-year-old grandson, Brooks Vanhoy.

Brooks’ mother, Shelby Vanhoy, told Fox News Digital via email that she and her family moved to North Carolina from New York City to be closer to family, and her son’s bond with his father, Mike Vanhoy, grew tremendously.

The 33-year-old mother, who works in social media production and interior decorating, said her father comes to her house every Thursday morning to spend time with Brooks while she works.

“Bop is retired and comes every Thursday morning for ‘Bop Day’ since we moved back to North Carolina,” she said.

She added: “As soon as Brooks sees Bop’s truck through the front gate, he jumps up and down with joy, shouting, ‘Bop’s here!'”

“They are the best of friends,” she added. “I think their friendship has brought a lot of joy to my father’s life as well.”

Vanhoy said her father got the nickname “Bop” after she tried to teach Brooks how to say “Pop.”

“Bop is what stayed, and it will probably remain Bop forever,” he added.
