The family posted the video on YouTube so a relative living overseas could see it.
It has since been shown multiple times on network television and the clip is linked on dozens of other websites.
This is the first time Will's parents had ever posted anything on YouTube. They uploaded it on the day of the parade, October 31. Since then, more than 176,000 people have watched Will.
