In the clip, Kaavia excitedly counts to three before being pushed on a toy car.

During the ride, the toddler appears to sense something has gone wrong and her face turns from joy to panic.

Kaavia eventually tipped over onto the grass when the video cut.

“If ‘How 2020 started vs How 2020 ended’ was a video starring @kaaviajames 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,” Union, 48, joked in the caption.

She also put the location as “Hanging On By a Thread.”

Actress Yvette Nicole Brown commented, “Oh no!!! 😂😂😂😂.”

One fan said, “Rotf, her face was priceless….  🤣🤣. Thank you for sharing your baby with us.”


“So true, girl. So true. 😂💗,” another person added.

Union has shared several photos and videos of the “Shady Baby” that show her in various moods that people think accurately represents 2020.
