Hip hip hooray for Avery, and even bigger hip hip hooray for Crissie on first day alone at nursery school! Happy to see Avery feeling better and got rid of that hacking miserable cough. Good luck on your goals for this year you absolutely smashed last years goals! Hope y’all have a great week, 👋👋NC USA sending 🫶🙏 always!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Avery looks and sounds so much better! She was poorly for so long. I’ll be with you on the road to #10,000subgoal. ❤😊
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
What a huge step for both you and Avery! It's always hard for mom's to leave their little ones in the care of others at first. It's a real milestone.
You are a Super Woman. With such a plate-full of responsibilities, obligations and the demands of your daily tasks you keep yourself well balanced. You have amazing patience! And such a master of time management.
You even find the time to do some little extra things to take care of yourself. Things just to make you happy and feel good. So very important!
Challenges are met straight on until you get the results necessary. Persistant yet pleasant and the needs get met!
Your baseline remains appreciative of each moment, realistic and clear minded. You just radiate positivity, hope, kindness and love. You should be very proud of your accomplishments!
You take such good care of your family and everyone in your life. Not only phyically but also mindful of their happiness too. Your loved ones are so blessed. Thank you for sharing your life here. ❤ From a retired RN and grandmom of eight, in Swanton, Vermont USA
Thank you so much I really appreciate this. You’re very sweet ❤️❤️
@@mummyandavery Under huge responsibilities and expectations is the time most needed to call out the greatness it brings out. And you are a great woman. Love for family can do that. And should be acknowledged often.
I'm SO very proud of you, Crissie, that you were able to leave Avery at nursery, and even manage to have an enjoyable breakfast! Your smile at the end of the day said it all. It made my heart happy for both you and Avery. I think it will be good for her to have this time with her one-to-one and the other children while you can take care of your mental health and just BREATHE. The way you described your episodes that you've been having, it does sound like a panic attack. If they get very frequent, I hope you will get it checked out with a doctor. I loved Avery's hairstyle at the beginning of this video, with the braided ponytail. She is such a beautiful baby girl! I think you smashed your 2023 goals. I do hope that everything falls into place for your move to Wales. You deserve to feel settled in your home life. Take care, Crissie. Have a good week! Sending my love&hugs from Georgia ❤️🤗🎀🙋♀️
Thank you so much ❤️ I will go to a doctor if they persist. I know I can’t believe how long her braid was I remember doing her hair like this a few months ago and the braid was tiny 😂 xx
I just love watching listening to you talk about your day to day.I know it's got to be hard when you have to leave Avery at the nursery but she's going to be fine. I love the little dress you got from your friend! Baby girl is going to look so cute in it! Have a wonderful day Chrissy! You're such an exceptional mama 💗 You work so hard with everything you do! Sending you good vibes from the U.S.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
You are so determined and it was so hard to see you leave Avery, probably harder on you than on Avery. You are one fantastic mom. Praying you can move to Wales and start to feel settled. It was so good to see Avery and see she is doing better. Can not wait to see the results of Avery’s EEG. Praying for you and your dear family. God Bless you Crissie. M
Thank you so much ❤️ I definitely think it was harder for me than Avery 😂 she barely batted an eyelid when I got back xx
Panic attacks Chrissy. I have them myself. Your mom leaving probably has a lot to do with them.
Love y’all bunches 💙🩷💙💙💙🩷
It makes sense, it’s just so strange that they come out of nowhere. One even woke me from my sleep xx
@@mummyandavery I know sometimes I get them just out of nowhere also and have no reason for it 🤷🏻♀️ I hope yours go away soon sweetheart
Awwww, Isaac has started nursery the exact same time as avery! He has a 1:1, and the staff have just completed their training on his peg, but I've only managed to leave him for an hour this week 😂 next week, i am aiming for 2 hours! So well done, you!!! It's so hard leaving our babies!! 😢
We’re on the same journey together then! It’s so hard and if it was up to josh she’d stay home forever but it’s not fair to deprive them of all the benefits they get out of an educational setting xx
My son moved to S Wales 6 yrs ago, it's lovely there, people so friendly. They've had 2 boys since being there, they've just started at a Welsh speaking school. I can detect the little Welsh lilt when they speak. Mind you helping with homework Google translate comes in handy! I was sad when they first moved, but he's bought 3 bed (doer upper), his mortgage is a quarter of what he was paying in rent here in Surrey. It's only 2.5 hrs on the train. 👍
I’m really looking forward to moving, I’m glad your son is doing well there xx
I kept my pillow bags for when my daughter went on school camps, it’s a great way to carry them on the bus ❤
You are right, and how pasties were used, we’re from northern Minnesota, and they are still very popular here with people of all age is not just miners. When we were still underground mining, they couldn’t clean and wash their hands so they picked a spot they held, ate it, and then just threw that spot away.
The crust is my favourite part id feel so sad having to leave a bit of it 😂 xx
You know, my first thought was anxiety attack too! You’ve probably been holding a lot of feelings in, without even realizing it! But for sure see a doc. I bet it was hard to see your mom go, but knowing it’s something she wants makes it better. Glad you were able to leave Avery for a bit. It’s a good thing. Healthy. Enjoy your tiny breaks. Excited to hear more about Wales when the time comes. Can you tell us what about it makes you want to live there? Just curious. Colorado Usa
Thank you so much ❤️ there’s lots of reasons, ultimately it will give us access to better housing options as where we are no there’s no chance of living in a house we can adapt for Avery. But josh is also from wales so we have family there to support us xx
So lovely watching your channel again. Hope this year will be amazing for you guys
Well done!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️
Well done Crissie. So proud of you achieving your goal of leaving Avery at nursery.
I love pasties and yours look so good. My local deli sells them and I am now thinking Ill have to go get one for lunch 😅
You are so determined that Im sure you will achieve your 2024 goals.
Take care and hope you all have a good week xx
Thank you so much ❤️❤️ my pasties didn’t turn out great 😂 I think I’ll stick to the bakery from now on xx
Crissie I am so happy you were able to enjoy a nice cup of tea with Avery at nursery. I was watching w/my daughter and when you said Avery loves "That's not my kitten" Annie is now insisting Avery needs a cat. In less than 5mins she's found science backed evidence a cats purring increases circulation and eases discomfort from dystonia and multiple other health benefits. The boys would enjoy the joy of having a pet while learning responsibly at the same time. Annie doesn't recommend a kitten, said a nice fat ragdoll would be perfect because of their extremely mellow temperment. She has A LOT more to say...
I on the other hand said I would never own another cat. Then with Annie's scoliosis diagnosis, then rock hard brace, n everything else that goes with it I caved to letting her foster kittens. Somehow with her persistence, power points, and the power of little kitty biscuits we failed as fosters. I think adding a kitty for Avery should follow moving on the goals list.
That’s so adorable! I used to have a cat called bear he was grey and long haired and I loved him so much, sadly he got too comfortable jumping into averys car seat and cot and we got worried he’d do it one day with our backs turned with Avery i there so we had to re home him. So maybe a cat wouldn’t be ideal but we are consisting a trained therapy dog when Avery is older. X
@@mummyandavery A therapy dog is a better choice...when the time is right. We have a family member who had to make the same difficult decision rehoming a beloved pet. As hard as it was it was it the right choice for everyone and especially the pet❤
Congratulations I pray everything goes well at nursery u need a little time to yourself! Happy New Year 🎉
Thank you so much ❤️ happy new year xx
That is definitely exciting! I'm so proud of you for leaving Avery at nursery! It will be great to have a fresh start.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Well... Because of you I just purchased myself a Journal/Calendar. Ur so very inspiring!! Loving how long this video is!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Also if I may, when you see a newborn baby of course it's difficult for you... however, Avery chose you... ur her everything and she is urs... I truly believe that Avery is 100% a gift for you... look at all the milestones you have achieved!! Look at Averys milestones... although difficult, it's a BEAUTIFUL thing to have what you have with her. YOU have given her a life she may have never had. You are an absolute God send to her... Avery CHOSE you!!! Ur both so lucky.
Thank you so much that means a lot ❤️
I wish you luck in your move and im sure you'll be to 10K soon ❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I am very excited for the moving vlogs and new house content! Hope you can supersede 10k this year! Love your content and I am sure lots of other people will too if they come across it ♥️
Thank you so much. Hopefully there will be some opportunities for some mini series on my channel this year 🥰 xx
What a beautiful young lady she is becoming❤
Thank you ❤️❤️
I am so proud of you & Avery! That is a huge move for both of you! I am thankful you found a lovely school and that you like Avery’s one-to-one! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
She is so beautiful!
Thank you ❤️
Best mom I'v ever seen Chrissy❤take care of your self and yes breath❤ so proud of you. Avery is so georgius and pretty like mom.😊 all the best for you and your family 😀 I pray for youonly for sure🙏🫶
Aww thank you so much ❤️❤️
Great 👍 video I was surprised that you can’t hang pictures In your house. Im in the US & when we rented homes we were able to hang pictures.
We have asbestos in certain areas so I have a feeling that could have something to do with it xx
So so so so proud of you my lovely please go and see and doctor If you get it again xxx
Thank you ❤️ I will it it persists xx
This is one of the things I found so hard was leaving my daughter who has very similar needs to avery but you did amazing crissie ❤and it sounds so like your having anxiety attacks I know all about it I have them since chloe was a, baby, they are horrible just take care of yourself and love and hugs to avery ❤and the boys 😊
Thank you ❤️ it’s so tough isn’t it but it’s worth it for them. Do your anxiety attacks sound similar? Xx
@@mummyandavery it's so worth it, chloe really benefited from it and so did I at first it's hard but you do adjust to it all. I have ptsd and it's from trauma I suffered when chloe was born and suffered a brain injury and all that's involved and all the events that followed, what you describe is exactly the type of anxiety attacks I have and they are worse if we have to go away on long drives etc the stress can trigger them. Just no harm to get it checked out with your GP, we are under so much stress and pressure that sometimes we dont even realise it, xx
Those were really good goals? You’ve inspired me to write some down too! Are you planning on renting or buying in wales? How’s the weather, healthcare, education, cost of living etc? We just moved from rental to our own house. Smaller than our rental, but it’s ours. I’m also ready to feel “ settled “ too!
Congratulations on your new home ❤️ we’re not sure yet it depends on how a few things pan out. Cost of living is cheaper, education is good especially for special educational needs. Healthcare seems better than here from what we’ve experienced so far but we’ve only had one experience so not much to go off. The NHS is similar everywhere in the UK so we’re not expecting miracles xx
Just what I needed after having a uti last week I am now on more antibiotics with a kidney infection feeling so poorly
Bless you, feel better soon ❤️
Mines is the same ive got exama everywhere even in my hair xx
I used to have it when I was younger. And I there was a time I’d get contact dermatitis all over my hands, it’s not fun xx
😮😊
I can do the sign lang witsch onley for the swedich way
It’s a wonderful skill to have xx
@@mummyandavery yes i agree
Did she start taking a new med? She seems so drowsy. God on you for leaving her at nursery, big step❤❤❤
No she was actually getting sick as we suspected. She’s full of a cold at the moment but so far that’s all it is. Fingers crossed it stays that way xx
I could be wrong, but I think miners only left the bit they held with dirty hands (coal miners?)
You made it look easy 😊
You are probably right! I love the crust though it’s the best bit xx
@@mummyandavery I am gluten intolerant so I haven't had one for years but I did too
I get ptsd I crochet and do diamond paintings
That sounds like a nice way to take your mind off things xx
My goals for 2024 is start a TH-cam channel. I already started. It is called Angie romance books I’m gonna be talking about my favorite books and disability related content. Another goal of mine is to upload twice a week which I am doing and another goal of mine is to read between 20 to 50 boocs this year.
That sounds amazing! I wish you the best of luck, I love a good romance novel xx
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 de France...
❤️❤️❤️
Hello 🥰
Hi ❤️❤️
Do you have enxaiety i have and it is not fun to have but it is much much better now god bless
I do it’s not nice at all xx
@@mummyandavery i take some deap breath every day wen the enxaiety comes i have a sort of pain enxaiety after 2minutes it pas
I hope the EEG went well. Did Avery have to stay in hospital for it o could she come home with the equipment on her? You are do in an amazing job.
She could come home luckily 🥰 thank you xx
Hi Chrissy how are you? Leaving Avery at nursery is a big milestone and I'm proud that you have been able to do this. PS I love her outfit. Red is a gorgeous colour on her! Sorry she has been a little uncomfortable? Do you think it could be teething? I remember I suggested a teething ring for her to bite on but I recall you saying she didn't quite get to grips with it. If it is teething problems I have another suggestion- Can she tolerate ice packs wrapped up? If she can it might help if she had ice applied to her cheeks? I'm not sure? Lots of love xx
Sadly it wasn’t teething she’s full of a cold which I think is what she was brewing. She’s a little bit funny about things on her face. I think it’s a sensory thing, although that doesn’t stop me from smothering her in kisses everyday 😂❤️
@@mummyandavery H, oh no sorry to hear she is unwell😥. Fingers crossed she recovers quickly. Well when you're ill all you want is cuddles and kisses. I'm 17 and I'm still like that lol xx
I know you can’t say exactly where - but are you planning on South,North or Mid Wales? The more you have time away the easier it will become. So glad you spoilt yourself with a breakfast! Well done xxx
South wales 🥰 thank you so much xx
@@mummyandavery I am from and still live in Cardiff, that’s why I was asking lol! Hope you find a nice place to move to soon and that it’s somewhere you can really call home. Xxx
Do they have any portage project where you are years ago I had a friend's who had a son with cerebral palsy and at nursery age she had someone from the scheme to work with him at home maybe when you move there will be a special needs nursery and schools and maybe groups for parents
Yes Avery used to have a portage worker she was discharged from the service when she started nursery xx
@@mummyandavery shame she couldn't have stayed with it but it's cut backs all the time these days❤️❤️❤️

Please see a doctor to rule out a heart problem ❤
It could be a warning and you are way too precious to risk something happening to you ❤
I definitely will if it persists. I’m reluctant because doctors are so keen to brush you off if it’s not happening there and then. I’ve recently had an echocardiogram and ECG so hopefully my heart is ok xx
I get anxiety attacks thats what it sounds like to me
It very well could be xx
Gol is still losing weight
I’m not sure what you mean?
Do you mean your goal? Xx
