Passenger Spots Inquisitive Baby & Surprises Mom After the Flight

Passenger Spots Inquisitive Baby & Surprises Mom After the Flight
On a recent flight, Andrea Quinteros noticed a baby sitting in the row in front of her. It didn’t take many looks or smiles between the seats for the baby to steal Andrea’s heart. Andrea is a crochet expert, and decided to crochet some little booties for the sweet stranger. Through an interaction with the baby’s mother, Andrea learned his name was Paolo, and she received permission to film his reaction to the booties, and post it on social media. The link is in the article. “I bet they’ll always remember that flight & the sweet soul who stitched those booties,” someone points out in the comments, another person adding, “These little kind gestures surely make the world a better place to live.”
