They never stay upset for long - what a fun household to grow up in with patient, nurturing parents with lots of laughter. So impressed with their vocabulary and expressions. ❤
She is almost always so happy, funny, serious, loving, kind and everything combined in her wonderful expressions and thought she expresses. Some times better than many adults. THANK YOU ALICIA & WALT FOR SHARING BOTH OF THESE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. ANOTHER TIME I WILL GIVE A GREAT COMNENT ON GWIN. TOO.❤😁💋🤙
WOW today was a rollercoaster with a variety of ups and downs. It’s hard being a toddler when the terrible 2s strike. Fortunately the amazing girls have amazing parents. Xx
Alicia and Walt show their patience and parenting skills turning around at least 3 meltdowns. Loved the facemaking at the end , so cute! Plus, they are talking so much in sentences! God bless you all.
So sweet to see their reactions when Dada walks in the room! I loved when they were so expressive and doing the eye thing with Dad at the end. Too funny! I remember when both of my sons went through the "Terrible Two's" stage and some days were bad for them. I never thought of those times as terrible. It was just a phase that all little tykes go through. You and your husband have wonderful patience with them, Alicia. You are wonderful parents! See you tomorrow-row-row!
It might be fun for the girls to try toddler chopsticks. They are shorter and joined at the top giving a slight springy movement. I just love the fact they try anything. A great relationship with food. Thank you Alicia and Walt. ☺️🫶🏻
Regular chopsticks can be modified with a rubber band joining them crossed a couple of inches down from the fatter end. Adjust for age as they grow! I have used that method as an adult a couple of times!
These girls are amazing. They try everything. They like most! They are big on veggies and wow! Onions!!! They remember the names of food. They have a great vocabulary and can really express themselves! I really enjoy them, and how Alycia offers them other choices when they just don’t feel like finishing something! Great parenting!
@sherrybothwell6681 I was wondering about that as I watched the twins try to handle their chopsticks. I searched on-line to see them for myself. There is quite a variety, and some of them are really cute! 😊👍
Their reactions when they saw their daddy. Ana's face lit up immediately, and Guin's eyes popped out of her head ☺😯😅Alicia has the patience of Job. God bless Walt, Alicia, Ana and Guin 💞💕
@@oneseeker2 I can't say that about my father. He was a tyrant and anything but loving. My two sisters and I were always happy when he was out of the house. It makes me very happy to see that there are other fathers out there.
Guinevere is getting sassy "Gimme my food" for example. But, she is usually easily redirected and she gets over her frustrations quickly. I hope I am alive to see what they are like at 18! I think they are going to be very determined, driven, independent and caring young women. I love these two kids! I don't know how I stumbled on these videos, but I am addicted to them.
How fun to see the twins' first experience using chopsticks. Of course, Anastasia, like the budding engineer she is, thoroughly inspected the construction of her chopstick - LOL! I was cheering little Guinevere on as she successfully skewered a bunch of her noodles. The satisfied smile on her face as she proudly proclaimed, "I did it!", made my heart melt! 🥰💜😘💘❣🥢🥢
Food looked yummy, two year olds will be two year olds, when I was watching two of my younger grandchildren the other day I was exhausted 😂 fair play to Alicia for showing the ups and downs of two year old twins, lovely caring parents.❤
Oh My Guin and Her eyes and not wanting dirty hands and Anna not want noodles but really enjoying Her pepper and onions.They are so entertaining to watch,Thank You for sharing them with all of Us
No fooling Mom or Dad in this house. “I don’t like this,” gets you “OK”, “ How about…”. You guys seem to never tell them “No!” You just give them alternative choices! I know how hard that is some days! Great job!
@@JacquelineSoucy-kw4sk 🏆I smile and do an inside chuckle reading comments but I burst out laughing at yours. You win comment of the day. And, I'm with you 100%.
Watching them grow is so interesting. Guin likes to communicate everything while Ana is more in her own little world and when she is ready to talk…we all listen! lol love them 🩷💜
@BernadinePalmer-en2yz, I don't cut my noodles but I think that their Lo Mein could have been cut after seeing Guin choking a couple times. Made me very sad. Seeing so much food shoved into such a tiny mouth & then not chewing enough, seems that gagging/spitting food out can easily be avoided.
Yes indeed - that's what I always call it. 😊 How I wish I could go back with my daughter to that age. Especially if I could after learning SO much from Alicia & Walt! What a wonderful family. ❤❤❤❤
😂 Enjoyed watching! My favorite was when the girl's opened wide their Big Blue eye's! Girl's have the most gorgeous blue eye's! Girl's are so precious! Always look forward to seeing these Beautiful Angel's! Hope you all have a wonderful day!❤❤❤😊
Ana's got the pesky hiccups today. She has decided that she don't yike it early on but I bet she'll change her mind especially when dada walked in. Guin tickles me...she does not like sticky hands. I'm happy to see her enjoying the meal. Great teamwork Alicia and Walt. You guys are amazing 😻🤩. Thanks for sharing 😘. Much love 💕
I've never heard Guin say , I can't do it. So much as she has today. I guess she wasn't feeling herself. We all go through this from time to time. I like how Walt was trying to encourage the girls. And Alicia when they can't do something or they don't like it. You always put yourself back in time that you couldn't do it. Or you didn't like it. But yum it's so good. You are a sweetheart person and a mom!!! God bless you and your family . 🩷💜🩵💚 6/ 2024 Arkansas
I have never heard her say it that much either. My goodness she was flipping and flopping and just having a horrible time. Felt bad for her. I just watched today's video and both of them are feeling better today. 💜🩷
Definitely a roller coaster ride of emotions. Once we like it, then we don’t. Both Ana and Gwen really tested mom and dad’s patience. But all worked out in the end. ❤
Switching emotions on a dime! Were they ready for bed? I have not seen the demanding behavior. Mom you just stay so calm and keep encouraging them to try. I loved when Guin got the big scoop of noodles on the chop stick and was so proud. ❤
Both of my grandfathers had glass eyes so i am especially happy to see you watching Ana’s behavior. Ana is a-pro at testing her Mothers boundaries! Dot
Terrible twos? I don't see it. I think the girls are patient. If I were brought a steak and no knife I'd be miserable especially if I were hungry. I used to cut up my son's beef lo mein, and he could scoop it with a spoon. Twirling is just too much for two-year-olds, this is meal time and shouldn't be work.
@@joanpeach8927 I've always disliked labels like "the terrible twos"...they're just normal two year olds expressing their wide range of emotions, frustration, joy, excitement, annoyance...it's growth in motion!😊
@@karenvillanueva1301It's just an expression. We all know it's the age when little people are finding their feet (so to speak) and asserting their personalities and it can cause some upsets.
I believe the terrible twos are showing a little today.They eat different kinds of vegetables and seem to enjoy them .They are so adorable and smart .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
These girls are very advanced, they may skip the 2s and jump into their 3s, which is a beautiful age. I don't particularly like labels like "terrible twos " labels stay with the children, even follows them to school. as challenging as they might be, you and Walt are very good at drawing them out of the moodiness. I like the term"terrific 2s"
They'll have a real wake up call when they go to school, and the teacher tells them NO. They won't know what that means. The poor teacher, when they yell all the time too.
Gwen is so dramatic and silly. She is so cute .Her face just lights up when daddy comes in .Ana is adorable too.Its funny cause Ana wasn't going to touch those noodles but ate peppers and broccoli .The ending was fun watching the silly faces.The meal looked so good.Drum sticks,chop sticks.
This episode was an unplanned comedy show that I thoroughly enjoyed. Bless mama and papa. Y’all are raising some amazing girls. Thank you for sharing. You put a smile on my face and a prayer up for you.😅
So, I guess I missed out on what the “Ana & Guin fingers” means. They are so precious & sweet. I love when they are talkative & animated. Guin’s excitement & facial expressions 😲 when she hears a noise makes me laugh. Ana was sowing her wild oats testing mama. Terrible 2’s 😂 ❌❌⭕️⭕️
I think it's just a game they play when they're walking their fingers around like they're people or animals. And they seem to occasionally refer to themselves as "Guin fingers" or "Ana fingers" or "Mama fingers."
I love watching these two angels. I used to be a teacher at a day care center, worked in the toddler room for almost 20 years, i must say your girls are very smat.
You both should win awards for patience in dealing with two, two year olds. The girls are precious. They are bright and funny and the faces and antics make me chuckle out loud. Everyday watching them is a joy. You are blessed having them and we are blessed watching them.
Walt,yesterday, I saw the.sweerest moment between you and Anastasiaea.anna turned to you and hugged you! Then she turned her head and hugged you again even harder! THEN she hugged once again a d ga e your huge kiss, I WAS SO HAPPY, SHE SHOWED YOU HER HEART. I cried, so happy. , t
Aww, these little brains are working at full speed. So much to learn and so many new words to try out. Guinevere tried very hard with the chopsticks and her excitement when she was able to pick up some noodles with them was so cute. 🩷 Anastasia was more motivated to show her dinosaur the world around her. But eating from mom's plate was what won her over. 💜 It's so nice that we can take part in these wonderful moments virtually and today we were spoiled again with the 20 minute video. 🥰 I also suspect that the two girls continued eating after filming because they obviously enjoyed it. Thank you Alicia for your generosity and for bringing so much joy every day. You and Walt are great, funny and very loving parents, which is easy to see in the children. I am impressed by how well you can guide the girls without ever raising your voice or saying no directly. Anastasia and Guinevere already understand things incredibly well and can understand what is being said to them. Your great patience also helps the two girls to develop at their own pace. I wish the whole Barton family a fantastic day with lots of fun and funny moments! 💕🌼🤗 See you tomow-ow-ow! 🙋♀
@JaM22113. I agree and your post was so well spoken and true. I watched super nanny jo, when I first started having grandkids. She helped me alot. And I know Alicia and Walt are gonna help so many new parents. They should have a show on tv, so they could reach more parents. Have a blessed day. Kathy
@@timparamore2629 Good morning Kathy, I'm glad you wrote to me. 🤗 You're absolutely right, Alicia and Walt are a very positive example of how to guide children lovingly without restricting their personality. I'm also learning from them and would do a lot of things differently today than I did with my son. He has become a wonderful, caring man with whom I can have incredibly great conversations. Nevertheless, I see that there are some things that could have been done better. It's nice that you are also a person who is open to new insights. We learn throughout our lives if we allow it. I wish you a wonderful day too! 💕🤗🙋♀
@@kellysaunooke740 Exactly...& Oh, the mishandling of their forks have me jumping at times, I'm so scared of them hurting themselves. Actually, didn't Ana hurt her little mouth with it in this vid?
I love how the twins interact with each other as well as mom and dad. You are a very special family with a lot of kindness and patience for each other. Love to all.
They have very cute children's chop sticks. My husband and I had our own special chop sticks we bought after we got married(we had Chinese from a local place, we loved so much, a nice family business), then when our son came along and was old enough we got him his own children's chop sticks. Love the way, you both encourage the girls, instills a love for food, culture, different ways to eat food, wonderful!😊❤
my wee lassie didnt have teeth until she was 2, so it was challenging to say the least to find foods she could eat. then when the teeth came, it was a challenge to teach her to chew her food good. i was afraid of beef for a very long time, and everything had to be cut very small.
Hmmmmm I am 65 and have a two year old reaction when I am hungry at the beginning of my meal we call it hangry and these two cuties are much more pleasant than me 😂 well done little ones and best mom ever
2 year olds are just soaking up knowledge and learning at the speed of light. That's alot for anyone to handle. I can tell you no one ever had to learn as fast as those first 5 years of life and Alicia and Walt are top form guides and teachers. What I would have given for a mother to gently guide me instead of screamimg and punishing us because we weren't perfect little adults.

Guinevere is cracking me up with that jabbering. That's what I'm going to call it because I don't know what it is. I thought something was going on with my tablet. Almost sounds like It goes into fast forward all of a sudden. I noticed in the last couple of videos she started doing that.😅 Time Stamp 1:30

I think Ana was unsure about her food until mama let her taste hers, then Guin was frustrated because she wanted to learn how to use chop sticks and it frustrated her when she couldn't do it--but then dad showed her how to poke with one chopstick and she was so excited when she did it! "I did it!" I think the girls are a bit young to have the dexterity to use a pair of chopsticks...after all many adults can't get the hang of it (as mom pointed out that she has trouble using them too!)😅
Anas so grown up today is being a little teenager. Mama a taste of the future. The meal looks lovely it looks like Chinese that we have in the UK. O dear it’s a grumpy today.💖💖
Everything is high drama when you’re two. I remember an epic meltdown from my nephew when his grilled cheese was in squares instead of triangles. My sister went to the laundry room and called our mother! 😂
This is the reason their apples are only cut in half with the skin left on most of the time. I was nervous the other day slicing them with the salad because they will have a melt down and ask for it to be put back together😅❤❤
@@aliciabarton3497 my mother told my sister to grab a Snapple and a magazine and check out for a couple of minutes 😂. She had seven kids, she had it perfected. FYI: That same kid and his big sister loved to dip green beans in ketchup 🤢😂
Defenitely trying out mom and dad time again 🤣 My gosh they are sooo adorable to watch. I now see the difference between having just 1 or having 2 (or more) children at the same time. Wow thats 3 fulltime jobs!! And this is the easy part, when they are still young and not teens loving their camera's ;-) You're doing great mom and dad! Hugs and kisses from me xxxx (the netherlands)

You both should win awards for patience in dealing with two, two year olds. The girls are precious. They are bright and funny and the faces and antics make me chuckle out loud. Everyday watching them is a joy. You are blessed having them and we are blessed watching them.
Walt,yesterday, I saw the.sweerest moment between you and Anastasiaea.anna turned to you and hugged you! Then she turned her head and hugged you again even harder! THEN she hugged once again a d ga e your huge kiss, I WAS SO HAPPY, SHE SHOWED YOU HER HEART. I cried, so happy.

Yes, that was such a sweet moment Anna & Dada hugging, it was as if she had missed him a great deal.
Ana just busy gettin her eat on. Then out of nowhere gets a pouty face.
Aww, these little brains are working at full speed. So much to learn and so many new words to try out.
Guinevere tried very hard with the chopsticks and her excitement when she was able to pick up some noodles with them was so cute. 🩷
Anastasia was more motivated to show her dinosaur the world around her. But eating from mom's plate was what won her over. 💜
It's so nice that we can take part in these wonderful moments virtually and today we were spoiled again with the 20 minute video. 🥰 I also suspect that the two girls continued eating after filming because they obviously enjoyed it.
Thank you Alicia for your generosity and for bringing so much joy every day. You and Walt are great, funny and very loving parents, which is easy to see in the children. I am impressed by how well you can guide the girls without ever raising your voice or saying no directly. Anastasia and Guinevere already understand things incredibly well and can understand what is being said to them. Your great patience also helps the two girls to develop at their own pace.
I wish the whole Barton family a fantastic day with lots of fun and funny moments! 💕🌼🤗 See you tomow-ow-ow! 🙋♀
@JaM22113. I agree and your post was so well spoken and true. I watched super nanny jo, when I first started having grandkids. She helped me alot. And I know Alicia and Walt are gonna help so many new parents. They should have a show on tv, so they could reach more parents. Have a blessed day. Kathy
@@timparamore2629 Good morning Kathy, I'm glad you wrote to me. 🤗 You're absolutely right, Alicia and Walt are a very positive example of how to guide children lovingly without restricting their personality. I'm also learning from them and would do a lot of things differently today than I did with my son. He has become a wonderful, caring man with whom I can have incredibly great conversations. Nevertheless, I see that there are some things that could have been done better.
It's nice that you are also a person who is open to new insights. We learn throughout our lives if we allow it.
I wish you a wonderful day too! 💕🤗🙋♀
What she said so eloquently! Have a great weekend Walt, Alicia, Anastasia & Guinevere.
Anastasia needs thee "I'm gonna count to 3, and if the dinosaur isn't down, I'm taking it." Then follow-through. 😂
Yes and same with the fork.
@@kellysaunooke740 Exactly...& Oh, the mishandling of their forks have me jumping at times, I'm so scared of them hurting themselves. Actually, didn't Ana hurt her little mouth with it in this vid?
@@rozeredd4191 Yes and you see how it's working with the forks.
I love how the twins interact with each other as well as mom and dad. You are a very special family with a lot of kindness and patience for each other. Love to all.
Where are the napkins?
They have very cute children's chop sticks. My husband and I had our own special chop sticks we bought after we got married(we had Chinese from a local place, we loved so much, a nice family business), then when our son came along and was old enough we got him his own children's chop sticks. Love the way, you both encourage the girls, instills a love for food, culture, different ways to eat food, wonderful!😊❤
Ups and downs today but lots of patience from Mum and Dad.
So excited 😊 Guin is so definite. She knows what she likes. Anastasia I don't like it. Future food critics 🎉🎉 have a great day sweet Barton family.
She did enjoy the food from her mother's plate. 💜
@@JaM22113 Mom's food tastes so much better. 😋 💜
@@JaM22113yum yum yum❤❤ Their love for mama makes food from mama’s plate tastes yummier 😂😂❤❤ so sweet
Soooo many “feels” today from the girls. ❤❤
my wee lassie didnt have teeth until she was 2, so it was challenging to say the least to find foods she could eat. then when the teeth came, it was a challenge to teach her to chew her food good. i was afraid of beef for a very long time, and everything had to be cut very small.
Hmmmmm I am 65 and have a two year old reaction when I am hungry at the beginning of my meal we call it hangry and these two cuties are much more pleasant than me 😂 well done little ones and best mom ever
Me too! I'm older than you and I have my 2 year old
Fits sometimes too! Girls, I know how you feel!!!🎉🎉🎉😂😂 Lol
❤😂❤👍❤
2 year olds are just soaking up knowledge and learning at the speed of light. That's alot for anyone to handle. I can tell you no one ever had to learn as fast as those first 5 years of life and Alicia and Walt are top form guides and teachers. What I would have given for a mother to gently guide me instead of screamimg and punishing us because we weren't perfect little adults.
The emotions are running high today. Momma's always tastes better. Dada shows up just in time for the tag team. Good job!
Love these little cuties.
Thanks for sharing. See you tomorrow.
Hello the Barton's.😊 ..So cute. .. all have a lovely day...
No fooling Mom or Dad in this house. “I don’t like this,” gets you “OK”, “ How about…”. You guys seem to never tell them “No!” You just give them alternative choices! I know how hard that is some days! Great job!
Guinevere is cracking me up with that jabbering. That's what I'm going to call it because I don't know what it is. I thought something was going on with my tablet. Almost sounds like It goes into fast forward all of a sudden. I noticed in the last couple of videos she started doing that.😅 Time Stamp 1:30
I noticed it too. Not sure what she is saying. Maybe she is just being silly. 😄😁
@@Kim_TexascatHi, I have noticed it in the last couple of videos. I'm sure she is being silly. It just sounds so funny. Hope you are having an amazing weekend. I am trying to survive the heat in Texas. 🥵
@@Debbie25Brenham Hi Debbie 👋 I didn't know you live in Texas. So do I. This heatwave is terrible.
Please stay cool and drink lots of fluids. Have a nice Sunday!! 🤗
@@Kim_Texascathappy Sunday Kim 😎 The heat wave is awful. This morning news said 109 next week and that does not include heat index. What part of Texas do you live in? I live in Hill Country. Have a blessed day❤
@@Debbie25BrenhamThat is horrible. I live east of Dallas. I pray this heatwave moves out fast. 🙏🙏
I think Ana was unsure about her food until mama let her taste hers, then Guin was frustrated because she wanted to learn how to use chop sticks and it frustrated her when she couldn't do it--but then dad showed her how to poke with one chopstick and she was so excited when she did it! "I did it!" I think the girls are a bit young to have the dexterity to use a pair of chopsticks...after all many adults can't get the hang of it (as mom pointed out that she has trouble using them too!)😅
Good job Mom,..."That's why we use forks"1!
Classic Ana- hand on her cheek- decided a. Big Nope on this one!
She says "nope" and not "no" ☺️
Love Ana's "Nope". They both have such unique personalities.😊
Sometimes nothing will satisfy and the crankiness takes over, but not for long with great parents!❤❤❤❤
Life is sooo hard! And it all starts with lunch! I hear you girls, I hear you.. 😅
My goodness. Patient parents you are. That meal was a marathon for you to be sure!!
Chopsticks? Crikey, in 70 years I haven’t mastered them😂
me neither 🤣 and I never will. Why should I eat with wooden sticks..lol
Yes to chopsticks. It was sweet to see both of them try to use them.
Anas so grown up today is being a little teenager. Mama a taste of the future. The meal looks lovely it looks like Chinese that we have in the UK. O dear it’s a grumpy today.💖💖
Everything is high drama when you’re two. I remember an epic meltdown from my nephew when his grilled cheese was in squares instead of triangles. My sister went to the laundry room and called our mother! 😂
Lol .I know my sister had the same problem.
This is the reason their apples are only cut in half with the skin left on most of the time. I was nervous the other day slicing them with the salad because they will have a melt down and ask for it to be put back together😅❤❤
@@aliciabarton3497 my mother told my sister to grab a Snapple and a magazine and check out for a couple of minutes 😂. She had seven kids, she had it perfected. FYI: That same kid and his big sister loved to dip green beans in ketchup 🤢😂
@@lizmatthei3424 - "Everything is high drama when you're two." No truer words were ever spoken. That would be a great subtitle for today's video.😂
Guin has a lot of attitude today, but Ana just quietly eats.
They are sooooooooooooooooo sweet and cute
Love the growling goodbye 😂
They’re hysterical ❤️❤️
The girls had many moods you and Walt are so patient and calm I love that you’re a team ❤ you all are amazing hope you all have a beautiful weekend ❤
😂😂😂First Guin, and then Anastasia shaking their head, in an attempt to make their EYES go back and forth rapidly, like Daddy!🫨🫨
Defenitely trying out mom and dad time again 🤣 My gosh they are sooo adorable to watch. I now see the difference between having just 1 or having 2 (or more) children at the same time. Wow thats 3 fulltime jobs!! And this is the easy part, when they are still young and not teens loving their camera's ;-) You're doing great mom and dad! Hugs and kisses from me xxxx (the netherlands)
Parents showed so much love and patience today. It’s almost like they’re teaching a course. Good job mom and dad!
No as usual parents let the children tell them what they're going to do
@@queenbee2627🐝 Your Bee barb is showing, I believe it shouldn't be shown in public. Be a nice bee and make honey instead of using your stinger and falling to the ground all alone.
@@danac2231 We all have a right to our own opinion. I believe there are videos where the twins run the show. I also believe that their outings absolutely show that the girls are being raised right. Just my thoughts.

Ana and Guin just weren’t satisfied by anything today. Another fun day with those sweet girls. Hugs from Arizona…see you tomorrow row row
