Cracking up about how quiet you guys tried to be when Jackson was an itty bitty and now here’s Oliver sleeping right through an intense game of chase (racing?)!!!! Always so different with baby #2!
Lol.. I know right. I have 5 and I remember how different it is with each one. By my 5th one I was planning his preschool before he was born.🤭
You will not damage your child by saying " No " You are the parents and you set the boundaries . Kids like to hear No from you to reassure them that they are being safe / loved and following guidance from you .
I work as a director of a large preschool. Thank you for sharing this perspective… I want to have all our teachers watch this so they remember how nerve wracking it is for parents to send their child to a place with a bunch of strangers! I’m sure Jackson did amazing!!! He’s a smart well rounded little man!
As a former preschool teacher for 13 years, keep in mind that he may change at drop off but HONESTLY he will be okay. It's best to show confidence and let him know how you'll say goodbye, and stick to it. I promise you, he will be okay - even if you see him having a huge meltdown, it doesn't last long and the kiddos ALWAYS find fun soon after the hard goodbyes.
Yes! I have been a K teacher for 16 years and completely agree.
#1 Usually (not always) kids that have a hard time separating is because they pick up on that the parents are anxious and worried. So even if you are, try your best to hide it from them.
#2 Kids that scream and cry are literally fine in seconds. As soon as they can't see their parents, they get distracted easily and have a great rest of the day.
#3. It is good for kids AND parents to not know every single little thing that happens in a day. If it was managed fine in the classroom or they resolved it themselves, they are on the right track to be resilient and that is the ultimate goal.
So true jackson will be ok. Jackson has amazing parents.
Couldn't agree more. Used to work in a Kindergarten classroom and about 5 minutes into their day, they're fine. As with all of us, sometimes we just have difficult starts to our day!
Kindergarten teacher here in her 35th year! Jackson's enthusiasm is great, and you have prepared him well! He needs opportunities now to learn to calm himself if he is sad, which rarely lasts more than a few minutes and have some productive struggles where he has to do the problem solving. You are so amazing that at three he's able to do that! I laughed about how he couldn't remember what he had done all day. We get that all the time so I have a blog to help my parents know what we did so they can ask some questions. But you already knew how to break it down and get him to talk! I'm so happy for Jackson. How lucky is that preschool to get Jackson!
100% I have four boys and I majored in psych. The first three hopped on the bus everyday and never looked back. The fourth (of course) cried for half a year. And I had to do what I knew inherently was the right thing and just GO! but some days that broke my heart. We laugh now that he'll be a Frosh in hs and he says he remembers but only being sad at first when I left. Jackson does NOT seem to be in that situation at all, luckily! You'll all do awesome!
Boundaries are ok! Especially when your newborn is sleeping! It will also help him when it’s school time...teachers Will give him lots of boundaries. It will be good for him to have more at home so he is used to knowing what he can and cannot do! I think you are wonderful parents… Don’t doubt yourself and don’t be afraid of saying no!
physical reminders can help little ones- A scarf, sticker, or other symbol (Jackson can even be empowered to pick) put on Oliver's crib or any other sleeping space to remind him of Oliver's private, quiet or nap time. You are fab!
@@shellie904 Love this idea
And he will want his brother to respect his boundaries as he gets older and more mobile! 😊
Exactly. Plus, he’s a smart kid and can totally understand that when baby brother is sleeping, he must try to be quiet.
I love your discussing your genuine feelings- like anxiety. Also love when you show your messy counters and mention you had a rough day with the new baby. Love the honesty. Helps other parents.
Ah yes. The first day. My daughter did the same thing. No tears. Just “see ya.” I was a mess. So you all are very normal. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I could say the same. My son was the only one in his pre-K class that cried. It broke my heart to leave him there. This continued for the first few weeks. I would just sit in my car and cry too.
I can't handle it. I'm going to keep my baby home until he goes to kindergarten. 😥
I cried so hard my kids first day of school, the other parents were trying to comfort me😂
I think it's so nice Jackson has had his early years at home with you guys 🥰 there is alot of benefit in that. The years go quickly. Once in school, he'll be there for the rest of his childhood. School is an exciting milestone and yet also very special the gift you've given him of time with mom and dad.❤
This!! ❤ I was thinking the same thing.
Yes❤
I’ve been a preschool teacher for 18 years… he’s going to be fabulous at school! I always tell parents they will have a harder time adjusting than the kiddo.
So proud of Jackson and his confidence! Something you could say to Jackson regarding nap time “One way we show love is taking care of the people we love, and by letting Oliver get a good nap to help him grow you’re helping take care of him!” ❤
I love listening to your journey with all of Jackson’s milestones. It brings me back to when my 30 year old son was heading to preschool for the first time. We dropped him off and said goodbye. I turn around and my husband (retired police officer) is all teary eyed. LOL. Goes to the window and wanted to just stay there for the day to make sure he was going to be ok. I convinced him it was important that our son learn how to navigate these new adventures and we headed home to sit….for 4 hours….until we could pick him up. The anxiety you are feeling is valid but know that Jackson is a very smart young man. I look forward to hear how his school days go once he starts going full time. ❤❤❤
I've been teaching little ones for 35 years. I wonder if Jackson's "missing mummy" tears coincide with end of day tiredness, linked with him being asked/expected to do something he wasn't keen on doing (mat time/quiet time) at that low energy point. There is that element of "I didn't ask if you wanted to .... eg sit quietly....but i am expecting that you'll do it" It's tricky for little ones to learn that there's a "we" as well as an "I" in a classroom setting. He's doing really well. I'd love to be his teacher ❤
I was a pre-k teacher. All of the things you’re feeling anxious about are completely valid. All the things Jenn was saying she didn’t get to show him, he will learn. Even if he doesn’t get it the first couple of weeks he will get it. From what I’ve seen he’s very smart, very respectful, and can verbalize what he needs. He will do just fine 😊
It's a good thing for Jackson to be with other kids his own age consistently. It's new for everybody, but it'll get better each day.
Parenting is hard and y’all are doing great.
Gotta say, couch time while y’all are sitting next to each other talking to us is one of my most favourite parts of the videos🥹
My youngest went into her first year of pre-k last August and just like my oldest I was ugly crying the entire way home! She had an absolute blast her first day and loves going to school! I think all the emotions of realizing your baby isn’t a baby anymore and watching them become more independent everyday then add trusting in another adult to take care of your baby is all a huge adjustment for everyone! You got this! 😊
So happy Jackson is going to start school. My dad was a principal and he always told the parents ‘you believe 50% of everything your kid says about me and I will believe 50% everything your kid says about you’. Enjoy your little ones. ❤❤
I’m DYINGGGG at Jackson’s jokes!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 thank you guys, I had quite a sad day and really needed this. I love hearing him giggle all over himself at his punchline and then Tim reacting in shock because they made no sense, but that made them even funnier 😂
Yea, Jackson has the delivery down pat, he just needs to work on his material. LOL
I couldn't agree more!!!! 😂
The best!!!!!!😂😂
It’s tough letting go and it will get easier. He will do great! You will love picking him up and hearing about his days at school-exciting times and lots of learning await! ❤
What a HUGE milestone! I totally know how you feel and mine is turning 25 this year!!! You’re doing fantastic and Jackson is more than prepared because y’all have done the best job with him! Kudos and hugs to you all!!
As a daycare worker, you guys are doing great. It's a transitionary time for not just the child but for parents as well! He will miss you, but w always remind the kids "mom/dad/your grownup comes back" so reminding him you're always going to come back is good to do as well! Also telling him he needs to be quiet when his brother is sleeping is good as it also helps him with empathy for children during school (he doesn't have to sleep but he has friends who will and he needs to be quiet and let them sleep). Also don't worry, we make sure everyone knows where the bathrooms are!
Totally normal to feel anxiety when you drop off your first child to school. But it's really a blessing that he is excited about being there. There is nothing more heartbreaking about seeing your child cry when you drop them off. You know it's the best thing for thme, but it breaks your heart!! I love that you are feeling better, Jen. it is a struggle for sure, this time is really hard, but it's precious as well. Definitely treat yourself when you can, and everything should start feeling more normal. Oliver is so cute! Don't worry about the baby acne, totally normal. No one will judge!
Jenn, I just want to thank you for keeping things real and talking about the hard parts. It definitely helps people feel less alone, just as it makes you feel less alone when people comment that they’re going through the same thing. My baby is almost 2 now and we’re starting to talk about having a second. It’s helping me to see you navigate a toddler and a newborn so when it’s my turn I’ll hopefully remember how well you guys handle it!
I love the Jackson cam! 😂 You guys are great parents! I had 2 little ones 22 months apart and dealt with post partum depression on my own 23 years ago. Love that you are getting through it with all the love and support of family and your you tube fam! You look great and are doing a wonderful job as a mom! Just take it one day at a time and enjoy this! It goes by real fast!
Love watching you guys especially Jackson... he's gotten so big! What a great big brother! ❤
Btw thanks for putting me on to purple carrot!! I love it 🤗
I teach 3 yr olds and we stay busy. Not lots of sitting. Music, two different playgrounds, play time. Snack, circle time etc. he’s got it momma. I remember my first too!
You should but Oliver in his room for naps and tell Jackson that Oliver needs his sleep because he grows as he sleeps. So he can get bigger to be able to play with you.
I'm a teacher..on these days the children will get told where everything is and how everything works. He won't be sitting for hours it'll be very busy with lots of fun learning tasks. He will also have had a good chance to socialise with other children, lots of play. I bet he loved it! ❤
“How can we show baby brother that we love him while he’s asleep? By being nice and quiet” lol
My oldest is 31 years old this year and I still remember her first day of kindergarten and she had gone to daycare. I’m a teacher, so school was a familiar place for her, but she still surprised me. After we found her desk, she looked up at me and told me I could go, she would be fine. I left and cried all the way to my school. I also cried most of the way home (6 hour drive) from dropping her off at college. You are doing great and no matter how old he gets, he will be your baby.
I really enjoyed hearing your perspective on the anxiety and nervousness associated with his observation day. I oversee early learning centers and after school programs, and I’ve been on the other end a million times. I’ll remember this the next time a parent has a hard time. Tim is right, the teacher and the other students will show him what to do and help him learn his expectations! 😊
Don’t overthink the teacher will show him where the bathroom is & what he is supposed to do just enjoy each milestone & encourage him Jackson is a very smart & very bright little boy he is going to do awesome in school. ❤️
Jaxson is adorable with Oliver you should set guidelines and rules for Jaxson like no yelling and rough housing around but letting Jaxson talk to him is great even letting him hold him as a baby on a chair or a sofa
As a former teacher of 4 and 5 year olds, they will be fine 😊 If they don't know how to do something or where somethings is, this is what we go through with them at the start of the day. Great that he went in happy. Even if he does cry somedays - once he gets into the classroom and starts to play he will be fine. I had a lot of children like this. Usually made worse when parents stick around. Better to leave straight away. If I had a child who was crying coming in, I would call the parents later on just to let them know that the child is okay ❤
I can’t believe Jackson is old enough to be starting school! Seems like just yesterday he was born!
I just know he’s gonna love it!
Ditto 😊
He’s so advanced already I wouldn’t be surprised if he skips kindergarten and goes to first grade.
Jackson's little giggles while he plays with Tim are SO sweet! Your boys melt my heart! Also, nowadays (myself included) so many mom's feel like they have to be wonder woman and we forget that it truly "takes a village". Also, don't feel bad for taking mental health time! We get it! I have anxiety too- my son is in elementary school and I literally had to be put on anti-anxiety meds because I would have a panic attack every day when his school would start that there was going to be a school shooting. Seriously- being a parent is hard work, mentally exhausting and totally overwhelming at times. Take time for yourself if you need it... and here's the REALLY hard part- DON'T feel bad about it, because everyone needs it sometimes.
Jenn bless you! You are great parents. Thing to note, you both know the quiet of a house without children and now the joyful noise of two kids. I can imagine you would rather have the kids noise in your life, despite the moments of chaos. Your lives are full of love ❤️ now. Glad your life took this turn. These vlogs make us without children happy to view.
Speaking as someone who's had problems at my first school due to a bad teacher, I'm super glad Jackson had a good experience on his first day experiencing school. And I hope it continues being this good for him going forward.
Jenn, love you girl! You and Tim are so funny and real. Your kids are adorable and your life journey has been a joy to follow over the years on youtube. So glad you're feeling better. You ARE doing amazing. Both of you are such amazing parents and I love watching your home vlogs. Tim, the theme park videos drew me in and Jenn you and the kids just bring it all together. Thank you again for all the videos and sharing your lives with us ❤
As a preschool teacher you did everything right in getting him ready! The teachers will show him how to raise his hand and where everything is! He will do fantastic! I can already tell from past videos that he is right on track for school and possibly even ahead! Sounds like he is in a Montessori curriculum school which will suit him well!
You can gentle parent and teach him boundaries at the same time. He does need to learn that when the baby is sleeping that he needs to be considerate of that. He’ll learn things at school but it’ll also have to be reinforced at home.
It’s ALWAYS harder for mama. You’re doing so good!
Oh, I'm SO proud of Jackson just letting you go so easily, but more so I'm proud of YOU TWO because that means he is SO secure in your love, in his life, in his place in the world... that he is FINE with being dropped off at school. He's an independent (well, in a 3 year old way), happy, well-adjusted human! YAY!!
I have been in education for 14 years and I am an elementary school asst principal. His adjustment to school will be fine. You guys are doing the right thing by talking him through what to expect. Generally students whose parents talk them through for our Kinder friends transition a lot smoother. So keep having those daily conversations of how to respond, how to ask questions and what to anticipate and he will do wonderful.
You got this guys!!! Baby Oliver is so cute also!!
I remember when my first born getting on the school bus and saying “bye mom”. I balled my eyes out! I was like “he didn’t need me anymore “. My heart goes to you🤗🤗🤗
My kid was the same way when I dropped her off at her first day of school. Now she’s a teenager and in honors classes! You two have done a great job building his self confidence and getting him ready. Such an exciting time of his life and I’m excited to watch!
You should think about setting boundaries for Jackson, like when Oliver is in his swing he's not allowed to touch or talk to him. He's at the age where he will be learning rules at school & can get in trouble for breaking the rules. So establishing rules in the home now will make it easier for him to adjust to school.
I have 3 kids and I was anxious their first few days of school. Daycare, preschool, kindergarten, middle, high school and now college. I think no matter what when your kids are out of your sight you want to know they're Ok.
Oh my goodness! Joke time with Jackson is so precious. When our daughter was Jackson's age, she would always tell jokes to the grocery store clerks. They started asking her for a joke whenever they saw us. She's 25 now. Time flies!
I was a preschool teacher for 22 years. He is absolutely ready for school in all areas. He will quickly learn all the rules and he will be fine. It's almost always harder on the parents than the child. Lol. Tell him congratulations.
This was such a great, wholesome home vlog! Love home vlogs & hearing the kiddos milestones! My baby girl is 6 months & it’s so amazing seeing babies grow!
What a milestone for you both and Jackson. Seems like he did great and I wasnt surprised at all!! You are raising a great boy. So happy to hear that Oliver is doing well. He is adorable!!! Keep the Jackson Cam coming....he's killing it!!! 😊
i love listening to little ones form sentences and say what they’re thinking!! my sister in law and i always go “she’s having thoughts!!!” whenever her daughter starts talking about her day 🥹🖤 it’s WILD to see how quickly kids can start doing this.
It’s great for them to miss you. It’s sad but it also teaches them that you’ll be back and that you’ll come to get them after the school is done. It builds so much trust in them
Jackson is so ready for school. I think you guys have done a great job and will continue to. He will learn all these things don’t worry.
You two are plumb precious as parents! I'm much older and watching y'all be so excited about parenthood is so refreshing and sweet!😊
Aw how exciting Jackson is starting school! I'm a school social worker and used to be a preschool teacher it's so important for kids child development to be in and Tim/Jen your feelings are normal and valid. I've talked to a lot of parents who feel similarly to you. He's going to do so great and love it!
Jackson is so much better off because of the at-home learning he's had and having parent time. You're great parents.
Tim & you are doing great as parents. Jackson is going to be fine at school. I was a preschool teacher for 22 yrs. He is starting at a great age and will be fine. He will learn and grow so much! Just trust the school and the process.
I feel this on a soul level... my boys are grown now and I'm in a different chapter of life at 49, but I remember that separation anxiety deep within a mama's and daddy's heart. You guys are amazing parents and Jackson and Oliver will grow up ALWAYS feeling loved. Jackson was confident because you guys have done such a great job and he knows you'll always be there for him, even when you're apart 💜🩵💜🩵
Absolutely nothing wrong with sending him to school but this makes me so glad I homeschool!
I don’t think I could go through this at such a young age.
We have so many social interactions as homeschoolers and co-ops. And different learning environments BUT it’s not the same as sending them to school. Haha.
Edit to add for your parenting advice question:
My biggest tip of a mom of 4, my youngest 2 are 24mo & 4mo.
One thing we do is distraction or redirection.
Also I would probably tell Jackson “let’s tell Oliver like a quote mouse how much you love him!” Then show him how to tip toe to him & whisper :) then repetition is key! Or maybe have him draw the baby a photo for how much he loves him instead :)
My 2yr old loooves to hold my 4mo old. Sometimes baby gets slightly hurt but nothing major (like a bump or something) but it’s all part of the learning process for both kids. They learn by practice especially when it comes to the baby, encouraging him to be calm while letting him hold baby is important.
Y’all are doing great!!❤
I’m a preschool teacher btw and even though he has never been to school he will “know what to do”…kids learn and adjust so quickly.
I'm so sad that Jackson is growing up so fast, I want to cry.I have been watching him his whole life😢. He is going to do wonderful, He is so smart. When my girls went to school I cried the whole first day, So I know how you both are feeling. Sending you both a lot of love and a great big hug.
I went through the same thing with my daughter. She was 4 months when Covid hit. She’s now in preschool and is thriving. Jackson is gonna be so great in school
Love watching your cute little family! As a child care provider, “ I can see that your brother is sleeping right now, I can see that you would like to give him a hug. (Acknowledge his feelings) maybe you could make him a picture and when he wakes up, you can give him a hug.”
Also when you pick him up ask, “what was you favorite thing you did at school today?” Also “who did you play with?”
You are both amazing parents, and your children are so blessed to have you!
I've watched your videos for over a decade now and I can't even describe how happy it makes me to see you guys with your little family. I'm turning 31 this year and I've wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember and this year I finally started to make the moves toward being a single mom by choice. I've nannied since I was 18 and I finally am in a place where I can start to figure out what single parenting will look like for me. Watching your videos makes me so incredibly excited for a little one and reminds me that I can only dream to be as badass of a mom that you are. I know how difficult watching a newborn and a toddler is (I nannied that combo during the pandemic) and man oh man you guys are doing the best job in the entire world. Jackson and Oliver have the best parents in the world and you both are raising them with so much love. Keep doing an unapologetically amazing job momma
Great to see Jackson going to school. I think Early Childhood Education is so beneficial not just for academic growth but especially social-emotional growth. Also, kids - and even adults, lol - test boundaries just to understand how to relate to their world. Redirect Jackson when he tries to wake Oliver and he'll get the picture. Plus, Oliver will get bigger each month and eventually will be rocking, turning himself over, crawling, standing. Jackson will love the next stages since more and more play will be involved!
Oliver is ADORABLE!! I love his little superhero pose as he is sleeping. Maybe its just me, but he seems to have more hair than Jackson at his age. I love seeing Jackson talking to him. It's cuteness overload.
Jackson going blank when you ask him initially how school was is very normal. Be prepared for more of that lol! It's simply because he's tired from his long day and just needs time to decompress a bit - just like us adults sometimes. You're his safe space, and he knows he can relax and doesn't have to "perform" for you in the same way as he might be expected to at school.
He's so friendly and very extroverted just like his dad 😂❤
So glad to see Jackson going to school! I’m a preschool teacher for 2 year olds and the social interaction is so important
The fact that he was ready to go and not anxious about leaving you means you did a good job, momma. He knows you'll always be there to come home to and he has enough confidence to be on his own. BE PROUD!
I'm going through the exact same thing. My little girl turned 3 (march 6th) and will be starting half days at school next week. We visited the school last month and she knows a few others from baby music classes which is lovely, so I'm excited and nervous too. They have to wear a school uniform over here in the UK which is soooo cute. Don't forget to take a picture on his first actual day of school so you can compare it to when he finishes the year ❤️
You can tell Jackson when Oliver is sleeping not to go talk to him that he needs his sleep
Sometimes children just need to be told no. If what Jackson is doing is interfering with Oliver’s sleep he just needs to be told no, you can’t do that now.
I'm a retired educator who ran a day care learning center. I encouraged/redirected new parents just like the teacher did at Jackson's school. However, I had a second child 20 years after my first child (surprise) and even though I knew all the info and first day observations/experiences, I have to admit to you that I snuck into the classroom opposite where my son was and looked through the key hole to see how he was doing! No joke! He was FINE. It was me (just like you Jen). I so get what you were feeling. It is so natural. I remember that my hubby cried when he put our son on the bus for kindergarten. Really! You both are great parents. It is all normal for 2 loving and giving parents to experience the separation anxiety you did.! Enjoy the journey.
I love that Jackson missed you Jenn ❤️ and great approach in talking to him, Tim! 🙌🏻 I’m a children’s social worker and it’s very true that more specific questions are often easier for little ones to answer “(what games did you play?”) rather than general, open-ended questions (“how was school?”) My 8 year old still gives vague details about his school day but the way I word the questions help 😀
Can’t believe Jackson will be starting school….Time flies! He’ll love it! I remember worrying about my little guys when they started preschool, they did fine. I think it’s definitely harder for the parents to let go a little bit. This vlog made my night, thanks for sharing 🥰Happy to hear you’re feeling better Jenn!
Jen how you felt about Jackson at school is completely normal. Not only did I feel like that when I sent my daughter to preschool the first day but I was also a preschool teacher and saw so many parents who felt the same way. As a previous preschool teacher I promise they will help him find his way and the bathroom. Lol
I think Jackson going to school is going to be soooo good for him and both of you!!! Also Jenn if you learn to drive again you can have more independence as well and you will need that at some point to pick up and go where you want to go and do what you want to do as well!!! ❤🏫🚙
I don't blame you for being anxious! It sounds like the preschool will be a great experience for him and the teacher(s) will take great care of him. He also sounds like he's ready to jump in and start learning and playing with his new friends. As always, fantastic job with editing the videos, Jenn! ❤
Kids at this age are learning how to regulate there emotions and it’s completely natural for him to be happy and sad and school. Love you guys!!
Wow Jackson's such a big boy now, they do grow so fast, my grandson is the same age as Jackson literally 2 months between them, he goes to nursery now and loves it, I'm sure Jackson will learn so much and have so much fun. Glad to hear oliver is doing so well too and he's still a gorgeous baby ❤❤
Jenn when you said "Are you sure" I actually laughed out loud😂. I can completely relate to that feeling. When my son started school, I thought I'd be able to stay and observe a while as well but they told me that I could go and my son reinforced that by saying OK Mom. See you later. 🥲🤷🏾♀️.
Jackson’s little laugh before he tells the end of the jokes❤😂
Oh my gosh, I LOVE, LOVE “Jackson Cam” & his jokes! I didn’t know his school is a school for comedians 😂 And Oliver is adorable 🥰 #faceywacey
Is it just me or does anyone else actually LOL at Jackson's jokes 🤣 love following along with you guys. You both are doing a fantastic job!!!! Life is hard, Jackson will do just great in school 😊
Thank you for sharing your adorable family! Never had children so all this is fascinating, your truly blessed!😇
So glad you are feeling better Jenn. It’s a process. 💗
Your parental feeling are so ok! I taught kindergarten for 35 years… teachers will help them through anything they need! You will leave your baby and find such a different child after a few months of school … I can tell he’s so ready! It will be fine - you are great parents!
All the feels with anxiety is what most of us parents have been through. My first born didn’t even look back she was so excited to start school. My second child was different, she was clingy and mostly the teacher or assistant had to take her so I could leave but it did get better. This will get easier and you guys did a great job with Jackson. You both are great parents. 🥰
Jenn, glad to hear you are feeling better. It’s a beautiful journey with ups and downs. Use know we are here for u. God bless y’all.
Just wait until Pre-K graduation (if they do that)… Niagara Falls!
My youngest is almost 2 and his older brother will be 7 later this month. We’re still trying to figure out boundaries.
One quick note: I told the toddler that we were going to Disney next week, and he says, “See Jackson?” So, he loves you guys.
I am so glad to see you as a family of 4! I am glad you are feeling better. I also have 2, Jackson and my son are the same age and my daughter just turned 1. Some days and moments are still overwhelming and some days aren't. But the overwhelming days happen less often as the days go on.
Jackson cam is honestly so great and I hope we get more of that! Love your family and seeing how you all are growing!
Jackson needs to go on a comedy tour 😂 we need more Jackson cam!!❤❤❤❤
I’m also going through big scary life changes lately and it feels so comforting to hear someone else is in the same boat. Watching you guys always makes my day brighter - we will get through this! ❤
LOVE the Jackson cam! Hey Mom and Dad, he's going to take over the channel! He did so well!! :)
What a big milestone for Jackson! You all are doing great. Jen, you mentioned that some people start their kids in daycare really early. I had to start at 2 months old! I don’t have memories of it until I was 3 or 4, but I loved it! My daycare also had a dance studio attached so all the kids would go to ballet or tap after school. My mom said it was the funniest thing watching a bunch of 3 yr olds trying to put on tights 😂
Loved the video! Jackson will do great he is so smart! Just be prepared for lots of sickness! Hoping it won’t affect him! ❤
Preschool teacher here! First time school anxiety for parents is always hard! Hang in there it will get easier!
