Angela Groch, Brody’s mother told Wave 3 News: ‘I was cracking up and taking video after video, but it was also super surreal, just kind of watching.’
Ms Groch said she and her husband took Brody to see his great-grandmother after she and her husband had been vaccinated against Covid-19.
She said: ‘This was the first time that we’d been able to really spend some time with them because of the pandemic because we are able to be safe now. It just makes me so happy that it brought so much joy because it did for us, and I knew how special it was.’
She added: ‘So we took the opportunity to spend some quality time with great-grandma. We were going to introduce her to Brody’s class … but she beat us to it and walked up during PE and just joined in!’
Ms Fulkerson’s daughter Kim Contrearas added: ‘My mom is just a happy person. She’s always been that way. After her stroke, she could have been just a weepy person. Just watching her with him, it made me so happy.’
According to the New York Post Brody added: ‘Great-grandma was like dancing around and doing the PE exercise.’
