Bindi Irwin's sweet nickname for Robert revealed
Anyone who grew up with siblings is all too familiar with the quirky yet endearing nicknames that seem to stick with us over time.
For Robert Irwin, big sister Bindi was the first to give him a nickname, and the moment it happened was caught on camera.
In a home video shared on TikTok, a young Bindi can be seen excitedly talking to her father, the late Steve Irwin.
"I've got some news," Steve says in the clip.
"We're not going home, we're going to the hospital... Mummy just had a baby. She's had a little baby boy, and his name is Robert Clarence Irwin."
Donning her iconic khaki uniform from Australia Zoo, the young wildlife warrior could not be more excited to be a big sister, saying: "I'm more excited than Mummy and you!"
While cradling her baby brother, Bindi, who must've thought long and hard about the nickname said: "I think by the way he is, I'll call him Brian."
Despite Steve's reminder that her brother's name is Robert, Bindi playfully insists "but I'll call him Brian for short".
The clip then cuts to Steve holding baby Robert, tearing up as he tells the camera: "It's like the whole reason you've been put on Earth, is to do this."
Fans flooded the comment section, with one saying: "The way Steve just accepted his name was Brian 😂😂😂"
"Steve's nod. that's a parent choosing their battles with a toddler 😂" another added.
"I swear, Steve Irwin was the Dad so many of us needed and wanted!" a third commented.
