She may be growing up, but Kaavia James is still Shady Baby at heart. Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s 5-year-old daughter drew a savage new drawing, and it’s so funny.

“Hi Kaavia, do you want to tell us about your artwork today?” Union asked her daughter in a new video. Kaavia is wearing a pink headband, a blonde wig, and fairy wings as she draws (as you do).

“So this is mommy,” Kaavia says, pointing to her drawing of Union.

“Now, why was I in a wheelchair?” Union asks.

“Because you broke your leg and you broke your arm,” Kaavia responds. Dang! Threw her mom under the bus and broke her limbs! “Oh, OK,” Union says, seemingly trying not to laugh.

In the drawing, Kaavia drew herself standing next to her mom, no broken bones in sight.

“Kaavia, it’s really gorgeous,” Union adds, prompting Kaavia to respond, “Thank you.” Even though she was acting a little shady, Union is still going to lift up her daughter, and we are so here for it!

Kaavia added some more details to the drawing in the video, then flipped to the back. Now Kaavia is in a wheelchair. “It was just like Mommy!” she explains. “She was in a wheelchair, now I’m in a wheelchair!” It’s so cute, we can’t even handle it.

“Breaking bones over hearts 😂,” the video was captioned. Union commented, “😢😢😢😢😍.”

“Even tho she’s being ‘shady’ her voice is so pleasant😂,” someone else wrote.

Another person commented, “Kaav getting so big! Using her imagination! Unfortunately gab u in a wheel chair. I’m sure she meant well! 😂”

“Omg. She is the sweetest baby! Her charm never disappoints,” another person wrote. “Despite putting her mom in a wheelchair, she was fair and out herself in one too. Some celebrities raise entitled tyrants, some, conscious little humans with hearts of gold.”

Kaavia turned 5 at the beginning of November and had an enchanting princess party. The Perfect Find actress shared a heartfelt message about her little girl. “November 7, 2018 our dream became a reality and our princess @kaaviajames was born,” she wrote. “I cannot believe she’s already 5?!?!” We can’t either!

“She is pure light and love and brings so much joy to everyone she encounters,” Union continued. “She loves to sing, dance, play Barbie’s and reaaaalllllly loves hanging with her best friends!! Sometimes she’s like a roast comedian and sometimes we find her praying quietly (Kaav LOVES the Lord 🙏🏾) She is truly 1 of 1 and the best thing that’s ever happened to me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kaavia James Union Wade-Shady Baby-Auntie Baby ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
