Joanna Gaines shared a heartwarming video on Instagram, showcasing the strong bond between her children on Thursday.
The former HGTV star's son, Crew, was left gutted after his cherished Octopus toy named June lost almost all her legs on Wednesday. However, his older sister, Ella Rose, 18, came to the rescue after she gifted him a newer and bigger version named Fin.
Joanna posted a sweet video which depicted Crew playing with his blue-colored glass Octopus. The 6-year-old pretended to be his toy and said: "I like to draw and I like to design. I hope I could be at the Magnolia team and I hope tomorrow I can go to work with Jo and Chip."

The montage also included a snippet of Crew taking a photo of a green dinosaur toy that was placed on top of the oak kitchen table.
Joanna concluded the video by filming her son sitting on the floor while assembling a bed for his beloved toy.

Meet Fin... his first day at @magnolia is tomorrow. June will stay home to rest and enjoy the comforts of her home and endless bowls of ramen."
Joanna and her former Fixer Upper co-star and husband Chip Gaines have been married since 2003, and share kids Drake, 19, Ella, 18, Duke, 16, Emmie, 15, and Crew, six.
The star is clearly trying to soak up as much time as possible with her youngest child since her two eldest left the nest for college.
Discussing the milestone with People, she said: "I stalk them on the app Life360!."

"But they're just turning into these wonderful human beings," and gushed: "My favorite thing is seeing them hanging out in a restaurant together as friends. Because when they were younger I was always monitoring their fights, and now they’re dear friends, which is so cool."
Joanna often creates sweet video montages to capture fleeting family moments. She said: "Knowing that [the older kids] will be gone in the next few years, I've made a conscious decision to create micro-moments, to feel in the now with our family, just be really more intentional with our time together."
