Nothing’s quite like the relationship between Father and Son.

This particular duo is stuck smack dab in the middle of a grueling road trip.

For a child, a road trip can be a great time to catch up on some sleep. But not this little guy.

He’s well awake, watching the road for his dad.

Be prepared to watch one of the most hilarious, adorable Dad-Son bonding moments ever!

Welcome to Dad and Son’s road trip to somewhere!

Son’s had a long day.

It’s been quite the car journey. Son’s kept mostly quiet. So quiet, in fact, you’d be led to believe that he actually fell asleep.

Nope. He’s sleepy… but he can’t sleep. Why?

Well, he has to keep Dad company. He’s the designated navigator… or at least he thinks he is.

Right now, Son’s using every fiber of his being to stay awake, alert, and ready for anything.

That is… until Dad gets involved.

“Hey buddy, you tired?”

And in the gentlest, cutest voice, Son responds:

“Yeah”

Have you ever been so tired that you simply could not keep your eyes open?

This little guy knows the feeling…

But he’s hanging in there, and he’s doing a great job!

He’s the best lookout any dad could ask for. Plus, his hat is beyond cute.

Dad answers:

“Yeah… you’ve been nodding off a little bit…”

Son responds with his favorite word… and again, it’s one of the cutest things you’ll ever hear:

“Yeah.”

Look at him… He’s one of the cutest backseat “drivers” ever.

And he can barely keep his eyes open!

Son continues to hang in there. This little guy refuses to quit!

He’s such a cute little trooper!

And those mittens are absolutely adorable. He wears them well.

Shoutout to his hat! It really brings the whole ensemble together.

Dad’s appreciative of his son’s navigation skills, but it’s more than okay if he goes to sleep!

Dad gives him the a-okay…

“You go ahead… go to sleep -“

And just like that, son’s out cold.

Dad couldn’t even finish the sentence!

Rest well, Son… Rest well.

He definitely deserves it. And it’s no wonder that he fell asleep so quickly!

He’s probably pushed past his limits to stay awake with Dad. And the car can be sleep-inducing!

Son simply didn’t want to let his dad down, and he did an immaculate job.

His father would love him unconditionally just the same – asleep or awake!

Here’s Son in full slumber… literally a second later.
