    Great video! Having lived around water all my life, I'm surprised that was the first time Lenny fell in. It happens, and probably will again, squared now with Darwin. Your reaction time in a situation like that is faster than anything else you can do. Then turning the romantic birthday evening into fun for Lenny is what parenting is all about. Good on ya, mates.

I can’t describe how, but he’s always so honest and loving, relaxed and easygoing yet tenderly careful and vigilant. Do you know how many of such a wonderful human as a daddy around you? I have none. 🤣
      Gotta love this man 😍🧡🥰
      We all know how amazing Elayna is, so this couple has been destined to be a couple.
      And finally, Happy Birthday Elayna 💖
      You just keep getting more beautiful and truly radiant from within 💖💖💖

    Had many "Special Dinners" go that way with the kids going nuts and changing up the plans. Great memories of when mine were that young. I'm still cracking up at pushing the candles into the cake and how proud he was of it. You guys are fantastic!

    Riley the effort you give for your boys is beautiful. You figured out a crazy way for him to settle down and that's so awesome. Good job dad. I am so excited to see what is in store next week! You guys are such a bright light in this world. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of this adventure!

    So glad you were on the ball racing for Lenny when he went into the pool, kids can move pretty quick and some days will feel like you need arms like an octopus, you two have a great handle on your kids, this boat idea you have for yourselves is doable, and congratulations, Happy Birthday, well done and thank you for a great video!

Wish I could support as a patreon but please know I support your amazing life style and it gives me great joy to watch you all. Nice, quick save of Lenny BTW. I remember no matter how closely we watch our kids, anything can happen in a second! Good on you, Riley!!! Carry on and godspeed!

    As a single parent with a pool I was always afraid of my youngest by 14 years falling in my pool. So from the time he was a baby we played a game called oops I fell in the pool. Although my pool is fenced and all the doors leading to the pool had high latches, sure enough during the winter he managed to open a gate and fell in the pool trying to get a ball. Even though he could not swim much at all he was saved by the game where he learned that as soon as he was falling in he would reach for the edge and go hand over hand to the steps or ladder. I did not even know he had fallen in until he came back through the gate and rang the front door bell, soaked and crying. I had only taken my eyes off him for a couple minutes and would have lost him if he had not learned to save himself. I saw the look on your face my friend when you thought for just a second of losing Lenny. I felt that way for days after.

    Thanks for the update. Love to see your adventures. I had to laugh at Riley's hopping. I remember those days. I think it took me 6 months after my kids got a bit older to stop unconsciously swaying while waiting in line at the grocery. Safe travels guys.

    Lenny is just too too cute. He is starting to talk and that adds to the cuteness. Also I've had all 3 of my pfizer shots and it all went good. My wife and I had all 3.

  • @danibeastbabe

    Oh my goodness!!! Those quick reflexes Riley… I don’t think you could have moved any faster! You guys did great, and the fact that (if you’ve been watching for a while you’d know)Lenny has been in swimming lessons since he was a baby. Doesn’t make it any less scary though, you guys did great!

    Lenny is a great swimmer! I’ve seen him in other videos, he’s very comfortable in the water especially going under! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Riley jump up and literally slide across the patio so fast when Lenny fell in!

  • @cclose8007
    @cclose8007 3 роки тому

    Something I totally appreciate about your videos is the sound levelling. So many people play music and then talking but I have to turn down the music and up for the talking, but yours are always perfectly level (I’m sure there’s a technical term), but as a headphone user I totally appreciate this. Love alllllll your content! Wishing your family happy travels x

    Oh my gosh, this video was so great. I love how Riley carries the baby around and hops. So cute. Lenny is changing so fast and he is talking so well. I would love to know what brand of glasses Alaina is wearing, I love them. Have a great week with your family.

    Quality avian commentary there, Riley! 😁 Also, I love how chatty Lenny is getting. The little toddler voice makes me nostalgic for when my girls (now teenagers) were that age. Their voices aren't nearly as cute now... 😉
