    I’ll admit, initially I was like “Oh No”, but after you said “she cut it pretty” it made me realize that we really project standards of beauty on children at such an early age. When my daughter cut her hair at 4, I was devastated. Why? She was just as beautiful with short hair as she was with hair down her back. I love the way you handled this. And in the end, this baby is beautiful.

      I watched the video where she was washing and treating the 4 older girls' hair. I was touched by how she had them separately one by one in the bathroom, treating them individually thus having that special bonding time with them, they and were able to express themselves as individuals, she gave them special attention and it was so touching.

      It is very important how you treat all the children because as they grow certain things will help them in life and they won't grow up feeling like my mom showed more love to my sisters or brothers and she left me out, it will open door to feeling abandoned etc
      What u instill in them while there young that is how they will one day treat there own kids and it may not be always perfect but the love will be there.

    You guys were my 1st TH-cam family and channel that I subscribed to. I had heard of TH-cam but never watched it until I was diagnosed with stage 4 Cancer and Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. I continued working for 1.5 more years until my Federal employer refused to let me continue teleworking. Watching your videos helped me to focus on something other than my health. I love how you and Joe just go with the flow, can be both serious and fun at the right time. I was a little sad when your videos decreased but understand why. You guys are living your dream family life. Keep finding joy and growing in God. I just noticed you are doing more videos and I am trying to catch up. So much joy, beauty, growth, and milestones you have had. On 8/10/22, I reached 5 years of remission under maintenance by God's healing grace. God has been so amazing to me. Thanks you and your amazing and beautiful family for helping me get through Cancer. I hope one day to meet you guys. Congratulations on expecting a new little one, you are a uniquely special and God fearing mother. Keep being authentically you. I will be praying for you guys.

I’m happy to see that you support your children and let them feel free to express themselves with their hair through beads, braids, wearing it out and even cutting it off.☺️ touched my heart !

    One thing I noticed about baby is that she is very determined and head-strong I love this for her! She woke up one day and said I had a dream, my name is Ajaiu and told everyone to refer to her as such. She wanted to have hair like you and when you were movin she decided to get things done. I pray she is always as determined and doesn't ever let anyone tell her she can't do something

    I love how Connected your family is. I Love how you future them & allow them to be individuals & you Love on them. Especially, when baby said she wanted her hair & snuck & cut it. You just finished her for it & didn't punish her I thought was totally a different way of parenting!

    This was so emotional for me. I don't know if it was the fact she wanted to look like mom, if it was the kindness and love the mom received the cutting (we would've been punished), the mom's cutting of the hair with tenderness and love, the children's individual reactions with love in very word. This was amazing.

    I love how you handled her cutting her hair. When I was 6 my brother and I were playing barbershop. I shaved my brother with a butter knife and soap. He gave me a hair cut. He cut my top braid of about 7 inches off. I didn't know he was really going to cut my hair. Mom was livid. We both got a spanking. When I was 9 I cut my bangs really, really short. I did this because I didn't like the hair in my eyes (or at least that's what I told mom). Needless to say I got another spanking. I guess I never cared for long hair because I just shaved all my hair off two nights ago. Wish I could share a picture. ☺

      Dang when I was 6 and my cousin was 4 we were at my house and we were playing hair salon and I cut his hair even tho his hair was very short so nobody noticed and then I cut my hair not thinking much of it so I come downstairs and show my mom my new haircut and she got mad and whooped me. But at least my cousins mom didn't get mad because she said she liked his new haircut since she couldn't tell the difference lol 😭

    I love how you are teaching your children very good principles through your actions and thinking before saying reactions. I especially loved seeing it in the younger ones, where after the service yous were eating lunch and Alena passed a sushi wrap over to (I believe it was) baby and how she opened it but the very first cube she offered it to her brother. That right there was just amazing, sharing with others without much promoting from the parents, shows such great character and love.
    Thank you so much to this family for sharing a little piece of their everyday lives with us, I truly appreciate it.🖤🌻🧡

    I love how you both love and support the children and their choices to experiment with their looks, this solid foundation does wonders for self-esteem and also helps individuals learn who they are and what they like. You're doing such a phenomenal job with all the children and it's especially incredible to hear their vocabulary, from a young age you speak to them in a normal voice and language, and they're so articulate and able to communicate their thoughts and feelings much better than their peers and some adults. Excellent job Joe and Alena!!!
