... I’ve probably said this a thousand times ... but I’ll say it again ... whilst all your kids are clearly fabulous... I could literally sit and watch Alessia all day ... she’s got the most gorgeous personality and is just too cute for words !!!
I find Alessia to get 'under my skin'. Not in a mean way - in a human/personalities way; like there are some people we click with and others that we just don't. I'm not being mean or saying I don't like her, she's a child! I guess what I am saying is that I feel the same way you do about Alessia but with Eduardo. I think he is just a little ham and the sweetest boy ever! :)
I really like the current balance you have. I think the videos having more of a clear focus and has improved viewing. We’ve really been able to see more of your personalities. Doing videos every other day has meant I’ve watched more than before. I also enjoyed the other ones though! Have a fab week! X
banannie8 Anyone- correct me if I’m wrong but what I gather is- Anna isn’t vlogging on her channel right now. And Sacconyjolys is every other day. Also Jonathan’s style is a little different and personally I like it. 👍
Anna your stylist was correct. The jeans look great with the shirt tucked in. I figure you have been pregnant for about 5 years so it takes a while for the nonpregnant you to get used to normal. Gosh Andrea is such a beautiful little baby. He is always alert and smiling. Just a little dream.
Mary Sterck I totally agree with you, with regards to the stylist Anna I feel like a higher waisted jean would show off your waist better. I sometimes think that your jeans look like they are falling down on you?
OMG how cute. I love seeing how grown up Emilia has gotten over the last few months since being in the new house. First her reaction to Alessia not eating the best parts of the croissant with chocolate inside was priceless classic older wiser sibling reaction. Then her feeding Andrea was adorable. Next we get Andrea who hangs on every word and expression Daddy makes, Uber cute. Alessia is starting to get a bit better about Daddy filming her without having to be sneaky about it and hiding the camera or zooming in from across the room. It was awesome for her to stand there right in front of the camera and eating her croissant , watching herself on the camera screen and glancing at Daddy when she gets sassy and decides to show what’s in her mouth and showing daddy that she has chocolate on her top. Love the weekend mornings where everything is more relaxed and little stress because with 4 children who want to eat 4 different things at the same time can get stressful. It makes me appreciate my mom and all she did raising 8 children and various other children who entered our lives and home over the years. Jonathan every child is different and some need more sleep than others, but most children under the age of 5 still need naps or quiet time where they are in bed but they can look at books or play quietly with a couple of toys, no screen time either on an iPad or television (many people have no clue just how much damage the over use of tech devices have on their children and even themselves because it affects their ability to learn and problem solving, and even how they interact with others. There is a lot of new research on this. Even the creators of Apple, Windows, internet etc understood that it was an issue and setup strict rules for their own children that limited their access to them. Cell phones are one of the biggest offenders with regards to the damage they have caused.) Most preschools still have a nap or quiet time each day in the 4-5 year old classrooms. We only stopped having it in kindergarten about 10-11 years ago when the educational system started demanding that the children had to progress and master skills usually reached in first and second grade.
I love how Jonathan knows he can't make Alessia hyper before bed, but he ALWAYS makes Alessia hyper before bed. At the same point, I get him. She's too cute to not play with her all the time!
I am blown away by Emilia, she is so intelligent and thoughtful. The way she speaks and presents herself is the epitome of a sweet, well-mannered little girl. In fact, all of your children are wonderful little people! Sending best wishes for you and your family from South Africa! Xx
I think naps depends on the individual. Some need them longer than others. Some every other day. I do think an hour quiet time is good for all young children. I had 4 and I had a quiet time for one hour. Sometimes I also had a rest. I think these times are rejuvenating for everyone
I made a critical comment about the new stiff vlogging style a few weeks ago... I feel like you found a balance between holding the camera and putting it on shelf e.g. . I love the current style so much!
@@hp7610 I've been re-watching old vlogs. Just watched Emilias 3rd birthday. The days when Jonathan called us 'lads' and put camera in unconventional places lol good memories. If they're looking for a new nanny I wonder if Natasha still nannies as she was so nice and wonderful with Emilia and Eduardo
I had the same nanny from birth till 16 years old. She was a wonder in our home and definitely had a huge influence on me growing up. She taught us how to play poker!
rdidri I’m sure you didn’t mean to, but this comment kind of comes off as you saying Anna and Jonathan don’t understand their children, just want you to be aware.
Actually I think that is a good idea as kids are always different with their childminders.... also it would look good on Anna and Jonathon as it would imply that the nanny’s opinion is important and respected too...
*Anna, please read this:* I've had it rough the past 10 years with depression and anxiety and I always felt like I didn't do something good with my life when really I was just stuck in the past. I was afraid of becoming a mom because of my non existent relationship with my mother, I was afraid to get my life together because of the safety zone I was in and I was horrified to let ANYONE in. Because of your love for your children and husband, your mindset on being organized and healthy and your mental strength I have overcomed my fears. You are my role model and I am ready to settle down and start a family. I've managed to get new friends and I am slowly leaving my safety zone. You and Jonathan are bloody amazing and ILY. Thank you.
Some people criticize watching videos because we want a dream life but I think that it inspires me to do better- to make what little I have be the best it can be.
I'm already beginning to be super broody but Alessia just about tipped me over the edge when she was dishing up dinner with Anna! So adorable when they start talking!!
I work in private childcare and most of our children stop having midday naps when they turn 3. Some stop when they are like 2 years and 6 months, just depends on the child and if they need one. Some children we have tried to stop naps (parents request) but they decide they still need it and have them until they no longer want or need one 🥰💕
The way Andrea watches Jonathan is so so sweet he just follows him! When Allessia was having her tea party with the camera Andrea in the background watching his Daddy was so adorable
Yes, i miss seeing you guys just live your life (in relation to your thoguhts in the info box) and you take us along for the journey I.e. School runs, adventures with the kids, seeing you guys hang out in the evening. Felt so disconnected from the family since the change but love you all so much!
I love your parenting style! I watch quite a few family vlogs and always look forward to your videos! Your children are absolutely adorable and seeing how you are around each one is amazing the pair of you! I have pure joy watching your family grow up to be amazing people! But the best part of tonights vlog has to be Alessia laughing at the end of the video! super cute, so happy and full of life and your videos just show what such amazing parents you are and engaging with the children! Love Love Love!! xx
Johnathan saying the projects never end sound exactly like my dad we lived in one house for 21 years and he always worked on it and then we moved and he was a whole new set of projects that are never ending.
Why I watch them? I live away from my Italian family for almost all year because of work... I love watching your videos because it reminds me of what home feels like, you are the sweetest, warm and loving family ever...!! Thank you so much Jonathan!
Emilia sounded so grown in the video, can’t believe how big she is.. I always love going back and watching videos when she was a baby. Her and Andrea resemble each other their both happy and smiling. Eduardo and Alessia also resemble each other both act “upset” not always so happy. (Don’t Know the word for them but they are all happy kids but there’s something special about them two)
I love how loving and caring Amelia is. When she was asking dad why he wore the jumper again...I think she wanted to say “why wear it again, it might traumatise her” but she couldn’t think of the word ❤️ I love caring, clever children. Great parenting guys 😘
Alessia is beginning to look more and more like Eduardo! Her face features are changing every day. Emilia is such a good big sister! As far as naps. My kids and grands took naps till they were preschool age... 4 and then they took naps at School. Once they hit 5... naps were over! So I would try to keep it up at least another year or two ! It sure doesn’t hurt them. Enjoy them days while you can! I love them myself! 😉😂 Andrea is such a happy baby! What a boy doll!
What an amazing beautiful little girl Emilia is. When she was feeding Andrea it was so adorable to watch how much she likes to be involved and have responsibilities all your children are so lovely but this moment was so precious ♥️
We bought our house 5 years ago and have been renovating it since. It’s nowhere near as big as yours but my dad is doing it all himself. The only thing he has employed someone for is plastering the walls so it’s taken much longer than yours will. He’s ripped down walls, hilt new ones back up, replaced all the ceilings, all the floors and retired and rep lumber the whole house. We’ve just finished the upstairs and are moving onto downstairs soon!
the kids are getting so big Alessia has the cutest laugh and Andrea seems so smiley all the time! Emilia is getting so big I cant handle it so is Eduardo! love you guys!
Just wanted to say how much i appreciate you all and how much happiness you bring to my life. I’ve been very unwell the past month and without fail every time i watch one of the vlogs i instantly feel calm and comforted! Thank you so much 💖
I hope the nanny search goes smoothly ❤️ If I lived in the UK I would love to be your nanny 😉 My oldest is almost 4 and he naps some days, but not many. He does go into his room for quiet time each day. My 2 1/2 year old still naps most days. I’m like you and dread the thought of that time ending 😩😂 It’s very helpful to have that small break in the day! Lastly, Anna, you look great with the French tuck! It definitely adds definition at your waist. You often remind me of what I think the Duchess of Cambridge would be like as a mother and your body types. She dresses very flatteringly after having babies so I think you can pull all those same styles off 😘😘
Sorry to hear about your Nanny leaving, but I'm sure the new one will take care of your beautiful children when needed. Did the top of the hedge get cut as we never saw the job finished. Does Anna like gardening?? as it would be a fun thing to do as a mum with the children growing vegetables and weeding xxxxxx
@@ilbethedreamer As a mother my children loved doing it with me. Then we would cook with the veg and pick the berries. I was not a criticizing in a disapproving way!! Thank you.
I love your vlogs so much! You’re the only family I’ve ever taken a liking to on TH-cam. I’m 5 months pregnant with my first at 28 years old and I aspire to be as organized and energetic as you guys are! I look up to you so much, please never stop vlogging your life. They really do help me realize how great life with kids could be. I’m beyond scared and watching your ease with caring for 4 kids and keeping your channel going also keeps me going. Love you guys so much!
Alessia is literally the cutest thing! I love it when the older ones (like Emilia) learn to be able to work with the younger babies and you can see a 6 year old feeding a baby - it’s so cute! 💗
Two...my kids were two yrs old when they wouldn't take the noon nap anymore....AND.... my husband and I have owned this house for twenty yrs and I just want you to know.....the rehab and painting and new stuff is never done . Fifteen yrs ago we did the kitchen, new cupboards, floor, walls, appliances......and guess what???? ...its time again....💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲 never ending......We just replaced the dishwasher this week, and I can sense the fridge is next. Its great owning a house but they can be money pits, so smile like your having fun with it, cause most of us know what you're going through ...lots of love and laughter.. "Home Sweet Home" 💖💖💗💓
I'm loving the videos of late so whatever u are doing it's working! I've been around since the early days when it was about making food and walking your two dogs! So think no matter what I'll still be here! To see you grow and your family grow. U never knew back than how successful u would be - and it's wonderful to see that your personality, hard work, regularity and consistency has brought u to where u are ! And I know there was alot of negativity or people trying to find where u lived etc ,( I think it was jealously and curiosity and not knowing how hurtful or scary it can be) but I think comments alot more positive lately and I think or hope people respect your privacy. I'm honestly lovely the style and I feel your more confident in yourself and happy since the new home and Andrea entering your house! Much love from Ireland xx
Beautiful day with your lovely family. Our children were pretty much finished with afternoon naps , unless direly needed, by the time they were 3 yrs old. Except for our youngest...at 8 months old she stopped napping during the day and just started to going to bed at 6:30 pm for the night. She always get up at 6:30 am.
Your children are literally the cutest kids ever❤️ Alessia is so funny bless her😂 the bond between them all is just so precious, I can’t believe how much Emilia has grown up!😍 you’re such amazing parents, good luck with the nanny search xx
i feel the exact same about loving a home that continuously needs work. i just love working on my home and always changing or improving it little by little!!
Lessie talking about the curry makes me wanna cry 😭 the way she says “prawn curry” is so cute! And the way she’s says everyone’s names 😭😍😭 she’s getting so big! Can’t believe she’s nearly 2 😱
Loving the balance you have now, I had missed seeing the kids so much and now getting to see what they are up to is so enjoyable, I enjoy seeing their personalities.
Hey Anna & Jonathan, I enjoy watching your videos & get inspired by both of you. My baby is the same age as Andreas, I think 2 days older & I'm weaning her atm. I would be grateful if you could do a video showing what your baby eats in a day, how many meals and recipe ideas! I’m struggling since my baby is not too keen on what I’ve introduced her to so far apart from bananas and parsnips, so it would be really helpful. I don’t usually comment on videos but just thought I’d write one to you. Anna ignore the negative audience, you seem like a wonderful person, people who are jealous and not happy with their life like to spread hate. What you do in your life and how you do it is no ones business even if you’re showing 15 minutes of your life to the world. Keep up with the good videos you make, I know it’s not as easy as people think it is!
Andrea is super cute baby!!!! Such cutie chubby cheeks!! Ahhh!!! Just can’t get enough! And Emilia is an amazing big sister!! Alessia is getting so big and growing personality now!! Such a lovely family!!
Alessia is so dang cute I could watch and listen to her for hours lol..All of your little ones are adorable..I get such a happy feeling watching your vlogs! So thank you guys❤❤❤
Johnathan I stopped their napped at 3 months, then after that it was quite time in there bedroom, and they could only play with 3 things and that's all they could play with and not pulling out all their toys. Johnathan that's the fun of buying a home that has to be restored but that's the fun of being able to change it. We bought an 1800 civil war home and now it looks so beautiful now, but now I want to change the breakfast room and all my windows downstairs are bay windows. And we built a gorgeous pond with a deck that you could have weddings on. And in the winter time we could ice skate on it. But we know that our house is finished. But there are still things I would like to make changes.😍😄🤗
Alessia laughing at the end looks so much like Eduardo at that age. Boy, time flies! Been watching since you all moved to London. Loved watching your family grow. Much love from Cape Cod, USA!!
I am a preschool/nursery teacher and the kids still nap at 4-5 years old. I think it really depends on the child because some stop napping at 3 or 4 and others still need it at 5 years old. 4 is a good age to try shorter naps though (less than 1hr)
Sera Kim that’s crazy, is this in America or something??? I work at a pre school in the U.K. and and our 3 and 4 year olds don’t ever nap and even most of the 2 year olds don’t nap
1st child. Stopped naps around 2 and a half. BUT depending on the day, if she is really tired i truly dont mind her getting some zzz( not for too long 1h tops) ( routine is not disrupted hugely) 2nd child. Naps are still on going ( 21 months ) yesss thank goodness!!
Anna.....I just love that coral colored top with the little birds....I am not a big fan of prints but would love that one. Classy and a bit whimsical. Good choice pumpkin.
Jonathan, I'm not criticizing your idea of installing a zip line on your property but you need to make sure that you have a legal right to install it. Here where I live the really nice neighborhoods will not allow this. They have their own rules and guidelines that you must follow. You need to make sure that removing the retainer walls doesn't cause damage to your property as well as your neighbors. My sister in law sued her neighbor for altering his retaining wall which caused her basement to fill with mud during some heavy rainfall. Your property insurance will also go way up or they may possibly expire your coverage because of high injury or death possibility. It's nice to know all the possibility factors. Advice from a fan.
My son will be 3 in May and he still takes a nap daily. He wakes around 8am, naps from about 3pm-5pm and goes to bed at 10. He sleeps all thru the night! I depend on those naps to get things done around the house and for a little me time! Love you guys!!!!!
I've been a full time babysitter for my niece and nephew for their entire lives, which is going on 8 years. I think having family is so important if you're able to because they're already going to have a connection and will for the rest of their lives. It makes me feel more than just their Aunt when they count on me to take care of the.
Good luck with new search for a nanny I understand I take care of my grandson and love it with another grandchild coming soon and will take care of her also.❤️
Yes! Vlog the way that you used to do! Was so much better to watch and I like the way we can see you're family without it being produced. I just wish they would come back daily
Johnathon reminds me so much of my own dad, he always needs a project too. He literally changed every single room in my house and knocked down walls and when there was not a single thing he could possibly do to it anymore he bought a piece of land and built a house on it from scratch, and he’s still working on it now
*Naptimes* My two boys (5&3) still have an hour of quiet time after lunch. They get to pick some toys and books and go into separate rooms to play and look at books for an hour, with the youngest still falling asleep for a nap. The oldest will occasionally fall asleep, maybe once a week, but he isn't a napper anymore. This is something I've been doing with them from the beginning. As a stay at home homeschooling mom with one more kiddo on the way--mama needs "quiet time" too!!!!
More two girls grew out of theirs between 2 and 2 and a half, I then gave them an hour of relax time: tv on or sent up to their room for rest in their bed with books... so gave me 45 mins to breath !! Mine loved their naps but Defo grew out around 2 ish mark. They then needed to go to bed earlier for a few weeks as where falling over with sleep by 6pm! .. people say their kids sleep better at night without naps but I felt mine slept better when getting a naps... But when they grow out there's nothing u can do and I found I got earlier evenings to myself then as I had them in bed and asleep by 7pm ! I did miss those nap times as having 2 year old all day is hard 🤣 but then u know it's short lived as they go to preschool and then u get a break that way !
You should just publish your vlogs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Then we always know what days to watch. Also love Alessia helping Anna. So cute!!!
In the US when I was a kid most kids napped through age 6. Kindergarten classes (5-6 year olds) had a scheduled nap time. Now kindergarteners are expected to do a lot more book work and they don’t nap but preschools (children ages 3-5) have nap time still. Not everyone sleeps. Some kids need less sleep than others, but as long as we can keep everyone quiet the kids who need naps can take them. At the school I used to work at we had a four year old girl who just wouldn’t nap but she was very smart and already reading so we’d just give her a basket of books and tell her to quietly read during nap time. But most four year olds will nap if you put them in a cool dark room and give them a snuggly blanket.
Such a good video today. Maybe a vlog about your nanny . Like does she live with you guys and how the kids interact with her. You can tell how much the kids love Jonathan and Anna. You looked really pretty today Anna. The top tuck does make a difference.
Go Johnathan. You are tailoring your needs. And keeping busy. It has bags of potential. Unless people don’t come from a construction background, or interested in renovating, they would not get it. Good for you. Your enthusiastic, and have got the passion to do it. It’s a fabulous investment. A cracking property. Good luck to you. There will always be stuff to do. You have the right attitude.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💜
Do you ever season your food? I know because of the kids you don't want to go over the top with it but surely the food needs some sort of seasoning to not taste bland?
Alessia is talking soooo much 😩❤️ Her little cute voice repeating everything Anna was saying when pouring out their dinner 😭
Alessia repeating Anna is just the cutest thing 😍😂
I agree so cute.
... I’ve probably said this a thousand times ... but I’ll say it again ... whilst all your kids are clearly fabulous... I could literally sit and watch Alessia all day ... she’s got the most gorgeous personality and is just too cute for words !!!

I love how he doesn’t edit when the camera falls. Makes me feel like I’m there for some weird reason. Lol

Anna, there's really no point in talking when you're holding that adorable little scene stealer. Nobody's listening. 😍🤣
Emilia sounded so grown in the video, can’t believe how big she is.. I always love going back and watching videos when she was a baby. Her and Andrea resemble each other their both happy and smiling. Eduardo and Alessia also resemble each other both act “upset” not always so happy. (Don’t Know the word for them but they are all happy kids but there’s something special about them two)
I love how loving and caring Amelia is. When she was asking dad why he wore the jumper again...I think she wanted to say “why wear it again, it might traumatise her” but she couldn’t think of the word ❤️ I love caring, clever children.
Great parenting guys 😘
Alessia is beginning to look more and more like Eduardo! Her face features are changing every day. Emilia is such a good big sister! As far as naps. My kids and grands took naps till they were preschool age... 4 and then they took naps at School. Once they hit 5... naps were over! So I would try to keep it up at least another year or two ! It sure doesn’t hurt them. Enjoy them days while you can! I love them myself! 😉😂 Andrea is such a happy baby! What a boy doll!
What an amazing beautiful little girl Emilia is. When she was feeding Andrea it was so adorable to watch how much she likes to be involved and have responsibilities all your children are so lovely but this moment was so precious ♥️
We bought our house 5 years ago and have been renovating it since. It’s nowhere near as big as yours but my dad is doing it all himself. The only thing he has employed someone for is plastering the walls so it’s taken much longer than yours will. He’s ripped down walls, hilt new ones back up, replaced all the ceilings, all the floors and retired and rep lumber the whole house. We’ve just finished the upstairs and are moving onto downstairs soon!
Alessia on the counter repeating everything Anna says, so darling!
the kids are getting so big Alessia has the cutest laugh and Andrea seems so smiley all the time! Emilia is getting so big I cant handle it so is Eduardo! love you guys!
Just wanted to say how much i appreciate you all and how much happiness you bring to my life. I’ve been very unwell the past month and without fail every time i watch one of the vlogs i instantly feel calm and comforted! Thank you so much 💖
haylee o'grady hope you feel better soon sending lots of positivity and love 💕
haylee o'grady hope you feel better soon❤️❤️
Hope you feel better soon.
Vanessa Hart aw thank you so much beautiful! 😌💖
YTFlove4ever thank you so much, I appreciate it! 💖
Love it when Alessia copies Anna as she dished up their dinner! So cute! ❤
I hope the nanny search goes smoothly ❤️ If I lived in the UK I would love to be your nanny 😉
My oldest is almost 4 and he naps some days, but not many. He does go into his room for quiet time each day. My 2 1/2 year old still naps most days. I’m like you and dread the thought of that time ending 😩😂 It’s very helpful to have that small break in the day!
Lastly, Anna, you look great with the French tuck! It definitely adds definition at your waist. You often remind me of what I think the Duchess of Cambridge would be like as a mother and your body types. She dresses very flatteringly after having babies so I think you can pull all those same styles off 😘😘
Love the informal feel of the vlog - Alessia talking is so precious!
Sorry to hear about your Nanny leaving, but I'm sure the new one will take care of your beautiful children when needed. Did the top of the hedge get cut as we never saw the job finished. Does Anna like gardening?? as it would be a fun thing to do as a mum with the children growing vegetables and weeding xxxxxx
And why can’t the dad do the weeding and plant growing??
@@ilbethedreamer As a mother my children loved doing it with me. Then we would cook with the veg and pick the berries. I was not a criticizing in a disapproving way!! Thank you.
‘Wardo’s rice’, Alessia is so bright.
Delightful91 I think alessia is probably the smartest which is why she is the most high maintenance!
Messy Lessy at two years old 😂😂😂😂 THAT I cannot wait for!! She is just sooo adorable!!
I love your vlogs so much! You’re the only family I’ve ever taken a liking to on TH-cam. I’m 5 months pregnant with my first at 28 years old and I aspire to be as organized and energetic as you guys are! I look up to you so much, please never stop vlogging your life. They really do help me realize how great life with kids could be. I’m beyond scared and watching your ease with caring for 4 kids and keeping your channel going also keeps me going. Love you guys so much!
Alessia is literally the cutest thing! I love it when the older ones (like Emilia) learn to be able to work with the younger babies and you can see a 6 year old feeding a baby - it’s so cute! 💗
Two...my kids were two yrs old when they wouldn't take the noon nap anymore....AND.... my husband and I have owned this house for twenty yrs and I just want you to know.....the rehab and painting and new stuff is never done . Fifteen yrs ago we did the kitchen, new cupboards, floor, walls, appliances......and guess what???? ...its time again....💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲 never ending......We just replaced the dishwasher this week, and I can sense the fridge is next. Its great owning a house but they can be money pits, so smile like your having fun with it, cause most of us know what you're going through ...lots of love and laughter.. "Home Sweet Home" 💖💖💗💓
You need to update the about section of your page.. still says you have 3 kids
I'm loving the videos of late so whatever u are doing it's working! I've been around since the early days when it was about making food and walking your two dogs! So think no matter what I'll still be here! To see you grow and your family grow. U never knew back than how successful u would be - and it's wonderful to see that your personality, hard work, regularity and consistency has brought u to where u are ! And I know there was alot of negativity or people trying to find where u lived etc ,( I think it was jealously and curiosity and not knowing how hurtful or scary it can be) but I think comments alot more positive lately and I think or hope people respect your privacy. I'm honestly lovely the style and I feel your more confident in yourself and happy since the new home and Andrea entering your house! Much love from Ireland xx
Beautiful day with your lovely family. Our children were pretty much finished with afternoon naps , unless direly needed, by the time they were 3 yrs old. Except for our youngest...at 8 months old she stopped napping during the day and just started to going to bed at 6:30 pm for the night. She always get up at 6:30 am.
I love how Lessi's gotten so much more comfortable around the camera. That girl is getting so big ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I would like to see a video of you guys showing a day with a nanny.
They'll _never_ _ever_ do that lol
Alessia can say so much ,it’s really good you get her to repeat after you so she can learns new words & her laugh is adorable x💋
Alessia is so freaking CUTE!! I loved watching her on the counter talking to Anna!! Her little voice is so sweet!! 😍😍
Your children are literally the cutest kids ever❤️ Alessia is so funny bless her😂 the bond between them all is just so precious, I can’t believe how much Emilia has grown up!😍 you’re such amazing parents, good luck with the nanny search xx
i feel the exact same about loving a home that continuously needs work. i just love working on my home and always changing or improving it little by little!!
Lessie talking about the curry makes me wanna cry 😭 the way she says “prawn curry” is so cute! And the way she’s says everyone’s names 😭😍😭 she’s getting so big! Can’t believe she’s nearly 2 😱
Loving the balance you have now, I had missed seeing the kids so much and now getting to see what they are up to is so enjoyable, I enjoy seeing their personalities.
Alessia repeating everything Anna says is ADORABLE 😍
Love watching all the house and garden work. Can’t wait to see the zip lines👍🏻🇦🇺
Hey Anna & Jonathan, I enjoy watching your videos & get inspired by both of you.
My baby is the same age as Andreas, I think 2 days older & I'm weaning her atm. I would be grateful if you could do a video showing what your baby eats in a day, how many meals and recipe ideas! I’m struggling since my baby is not too keen on what I’ve introduced her to so far apart from bananas and parsnips, so it would be really helpful. I don’t usually comment on videos but just thought I’d write one to you. Anna ignore the negative audience, you seem like a wonderful person, people who are jealous and not happy with their life like to spread hate. What you do in your life and how you do it is no ones business even if you’re showing 15 minutes of your life to the world. Keep up with the good videos you make, I know it’s not as easy as people think it is!
I was a nanny for 6 years. With my family i nanny we stop naps before they start school. Love you all! Loved the video as always.
Andrea is super cute baby!!!! Such cutie chubby cheeks!! Ahhh!!! Just can’t get enough! And Emilia is an amazing big sister!! Alessia is getting so big and growing personality now!! Such a lovely family!!
Alessia is so dang cute I could watch and listen to her for hours lol..All of your little ones are adorable..I get such a happy feeling watching your vlogs! So thank you guys❤❤❤
Just love how Emilia was feeding Andrea it’s the cutest and most sweetest thing 💖💖😩
Johnathan I stopped their napped at 3 months, then after that it was quite time in there bedroom, and they could only play with 3 things and that's all they could play with and not pulling out all their toys. Johnathan that's the fun of buying a home that has to be restored but that's the fun of being able to change it. We bought an 1800 civil war home and now it looks so beautiful now, but now I want to change the breakfast room and all my windows downstairs are bay windows. And we built a gorgeous pond with a deck that you could have weddings on. And in the winter time we could ice skate on it. But we know that our house is finished. But there are still things I would like to make changes.😍😄🤗
Alessia laughing at the end looks so much like Eduardo at that age. Boy, time flies! Been watching since you all moved to London. Loved watching your family grow. Much love from Cape Cod, USA!!
Seeing Emilia growing up so much makes me very sentimental! She's such a bright little lady and absolutely gorgeous! ❤️
Please get Alessia to say "prawn curry" again
it was the cutest!
Like on repeat!
Jo Good - Middleagedminx she was soo cute saying this 😍
I am a preschool/nursery teacher and the kids still nap at 4-5 years old. I think it really depends on the child because some stop napping at 3 or 4 and others still need it at 5 years old. 4 is a good age to try shorter naps though (less than 1hr)
Sera Kim that’s crazy, is this in America or something??? I work at a pre school in the U.K. and and our 3 and 4 year olds don’t ever nap and even most of the 2 year olds don’t nap
@@ilbethedreamer yes, in America!
The Alessia Show formally known as Saccone Jolys lol she's the cutest
I think all these children are so beautiful and smart !!! Great parenting Jonathan and Anna !!!
1st child. Stopped naps around 2 and a half. BUT depending on the day, if she is really tired i truly dont mind her getting some zzz( not for too long 1h tops) ( routine is not disrupted hugely)
2nd child. Naps are still on going ( 21 months ) yesss thank goodness!!
I have been watching since Emilia was a baby and it makes me smile so big to see what a wonderful girl she is growing into. Love this family❤️❤️❤️
Anna.....I just love that coral colored top with the little birds....I am not a big fan of prints but would love that one. Classy and a bit whimsical. Good choice pumpkin.
Awww Jonathan we miss the old style too 💙
I’m just saying, Your family is lovely. Can’t wait to have children of my own 👍🏼 keep up the great work guys
Speaking of projects, did you get the water damage to the drywalls and carpeting fixed?
Jonathan, I'm not criticizing your idea of installing a zip line on your property but you need to make sure that you have a legal right to install it. Here where I live the really nice neighborhoods will not allow this. They have their own rules and guidelines that you must follow. You need to make sure that removing the retainer walls doesn't cause damage to your property as well as your neighbors. My sister in law sued her neighbor for altering his retaining wall which caused her basement to fill with mud during some heavy rainfall. Your property insurance will also go way up or they may possibly expire your coverage because of high injury or death possibility. It's nice to know all the possibility factors. Advice from a fan.
My son will be 3 in May and he still takes a nap daily. He wakes around 8am, naps from about 3pm-5pm and goes to bed at 10. He sleeps all thru the night! I depend on those naps to get things done around the house and for a little me time! Love you guys!!!!!
When Alessia was laughing at the end with Jonathan I could really see Eduardo in her when he was that age! :D
I've been a full time babysitter for my niece and nephew for their entire lives, which is going on 8 years. I think having family is so important if you're able to because they're already going to have a connection and will for the rest of their lives. It makes me feel more than just their Aunt when they count on me to take care of the.
Good luck with new search for a nanny I understand I take care of my grandson and love it with another grandchild coming soon and will take care of her also.❤️
Yes! Vlog the way that you used to do! Was so much better to watch and I like the way we can see you're family without it being produced. I just wish they would come back daily
Johnathon reminds me so much of my own dad, he always needs a project too. He literally changed every single room in my house and knocked down walls and when there was not a single thing he could possibly do to it anymore he bought a piece of land and built a house on it from scratch, and he’s still working on it now
*Naptimes* My two boys (5&3) still have an hour of quiet time after lunch. They get to pick some toys and books and go into separate rooms to play and look at books for an hour, with the youngest still falling asleep for a nap. The oldest will occasionally fall asleep, maybe once a week, but he isn't a napper anymore. This is something I've been doing with them from the beginning. As a stay at home homeschooling mom with one more kiddo on the way--mama needs "quiet time" too!!!!
Alessias face was the sweetest thing ever when she was eating the croissant. She’s so funny and super cute Xxx
More two girls grew out of theirs between 2 and 2 and a half, I then gave them an hour of relax time: tv on or sent up to their room for rest in their bed with books... so gave me 45 mins to breath !! Mine loved their naps but Defo grew out around 2 ish mark. They then needed to go to bed earlier for a few weeks as where falling over with sleep by 6pm! .. people say their kids sleep better at night without naps but I felt mine slept better when getting a naps... But when they grow out there's nothing u can do and I found I got earlier evenings to myself then as I had them in bed and asleep by 7pm ! I did miss those nap times as having 2 year old all day is hard 🤣 but then u know it's short lived as they go to preschool and then u get a break that way !
25:37 when Jonathan says terrible two's, Alessia laughs like a cute little villian :)
You should just publish your vlogs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Then we always know what days to watch. Also love Alessia helping Anna. So cute!!!
Lessie saying prawn curry ! cutest thing ever !❤
In the US when I was a kid most kids napped through age 6. Kindergarten classes (5-6 year olds) had a scheduled nap time. Now kindergarteners are expected to do a lot more book work and they don’t nap but preschools (children ages 3-5) have nap time still. Not everyone sleeps. Some kids need less sleep than others, but as long as we can keep everyone quiet the kids who need naps can take them. At the school I used to work at we had a four year old girl who just wouldn’t nap but she was very smart and already reading so we’d just give her a basket of books and tell her to quietly read during nap time. But most four year olds will nap if you put them in a cool dark room and give them a snuggly blanket.
Big smiles!!! Messy Lessie is all that I knew she would be..a brilliant beautiful girl!! Adorable. Has her daddy wrapped around her little finger. :)
Such a good video today. Maybe a vlog about your nanny . Like does she live with you guys and how the kids interact with her. You can tell how much the kids love Jonathan and Anna. You looked really pretty today Anna. The top tuck does make a difference.
Go Johnathan. You are tailoring your needs. And keeping busy. It has bags of potential. Unless people don’t come from a construction background, or interested in renovating, they would not get it. Good for you. Your enthusiastic, and have got the passion to do it. It’s a fabulous investment. A cracking property. Good luck to you.
There will always be stuff to do. You have the right attitude..
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💜
Do you ever season your food? I know because of the kids you don't want to go over the top with it but surely the food needs some sort of seasoning to not taste bland?
“Don’t be alarmed you have fallen over” had me in stitches 😂 such a lovely family with such a mixture of personalities love watching them.
