In the video, Alexis explains that she and her toddler, Kolt, were in the middle of a diaper change when Dad’s 18-wheeler pulled into the driveway.
Immediately upon hearing his daddy was home, Kolt broke into a dead run — even tearing off his little hat as he sprinted across the field.
The lightning-fast toddler was then scooped up into a tight embrace by his dad, who probably couldn’t imagine a better “welcome home” greeting.
