Alicia I feel quite privileged that you have taken the time to answer questions about your beautiful daughters and made us feel welcome to be a part of this special time. Thank you from England ❤️❤️❤️
Conversation at the dinner table is perfect and helps them to develop habits of talking about things. They’re excited about or sad about and know that it’s OK to talk about whatever is on their mind.
@@LindaDietrich-i8d totally agree with dinner conversations. They're the best. It's a relaxed atmosphere and anything goes. I would just ask..what's on the conversation block tonight? That was all that was needed for non stop conversation.
We had a rule that we ate dinner together. Not only for talking about things. ,but for bonding together. But we relaxed that when the boys were teenagers If they had after school events.
As a trained developmental child psychotherapist I think you and your husband have the perfect formula when parenting your beautiful girls. You remain calm, you are attuned, you provide structure and nurture, playful moments and use attuned responses to support security in the girls. I so enjoy watching your girls develop into confident and secure children. Well done mom and dad! ❤😊
Thank you for taking the time to answer questions. I think some people forget the girls are only 2 yrs old because they are so advanced for their age. By the way, you have a lovely speaking voice.
Yes. Just like Alicia, we were raised to eat dinner together, at the dinner table, and there was great conversation. Sometimes, my Dad would "host" little contests, like simple math problems we had to do in our head, spelling bees, little trivia questions. They were light-hearted activities that did not detract from the physical act of eating a meal. It made the routine a lot more fun. So I do enjoy the convos that Alicia has with her girls.
You and Walt are doing an amazing job with the girls. They seem very well rounded and enjoy trying different foods. I love watching their imaginations run wild.
I've commented before, but as a professor and consultant of early childhood education, you do a great job with the girls. I am a strong advocate for incorporating language & literacy into all aspects of child development. Your mealtime conversations are excellent and the girls clearly enjoy them😊 I can see the growth in their language & communication, in large part due to how you and Walt engage them in conversation. Keep doing what your doing, Mommy!! ❤❤
You are so beautiful, and the little ladies take after their Mama! They're beautiful, smart, kind, and such sweeties! I just love 💕 them! I love this video! Please do more like it! 🥰
So thoughtful of you to do this Q & A for your viewers! First, you're such a lovely person, so patient and calm and joyful. And you're very pretty too! The other main difference in Ana and Guin is Ana has mamas cheeks...her eyes being bigger and her cheeks rounder...that's how I first could tell them apart. Thank you for doing this video! ❤☆❤☆❤☆❤☆
sign language is more and more used with children, and i think it is amazing as a tool for them to communicate! It prevents meltdowns when they want something and cant be understood.
I agree! Sign language is such an amazing communication tool for children before they are verbal. It also enhances cognition, creative thinking and memory.
How sweet of you Alicia to take the time to answer questions for the girls’ followers. You are such wonderful, patient people and parents. You are raising your girls extremely well. I know they will be phenomenal adults! Thank you for sharing and caring. ❤❤❤❤
You’re such a calming momma to see! You and Walt are doing a great job with your precious girls! Thank you for sharing your skills and understanding of raising such cute children 😊
Hey Alicia! Guinn has your mouth and Ana has your eyes. Both girls have your sweet personality. I agree with you on sitting at the table and having a conversation with you. That’s how I grew up and how I raised my children. You’re making the most precious memories. Love watching every day. Keep up your excellent parenting, you AND Walt are amazing.
Such a lovely video of a lovely mum talking about her lovely girls. Made a wet and gloomy afternoon in Liverpool, England, a bit brighter. Thanks for sharing parts of yours and Walts and the girls' lives that we don't see. Continue being the amazing mum that you are. Your girls are a credit to you, and Walt x ❤
Also, I'm so glad you're on this earth and are here to raise your precious girls. I remember what a difficult birth experience you had and how you almost did not make it. So very scary. You're such a lovely and loving spirit Alicia!❤Wishing you a long, happy and healthy life.🌞
Enjoyed listening to your Q&A! Fun to hear all about your beautiful Angel's! Alicia you are a wonderful mom! You said you are a hair dresser which is awesome! I do think you would make a wonderful early elementary teacher! You are very talented! Enjoy watching! The girl's are truly beautiful little Angel's! Thank you for all you do!🙏❤❤❤😊
Alicia, this question & answer video, shows what a lovely & gracious person you are. We love your voice, as we have mentioned in the past. Thank you for sharing.🎉
I was raised as you are easing you children. I feel very fortunate to have that upbringing. I have two sisters and by no means, have we ever wanted to embarrass our parents. We never got in trouble, or embarrassed our family or parents. Your girls are delightful! Alicia and Walt - you are the best parents. And I sure your children will succeed in life as you have! God Bless all of you and Thank You for allowing the generosity of having your girls in our life! Respectfully, The Florida Community who appreciate you sharing your children with us!
Alicia, you are just a beautiful person inside and out. The depth of your love, intelligence, thoughtfulness, hard work, and inventiveness... it is very special. And you are a natural teacher! The partnership between you and Walt is beautiful and your lovely little ladies benefit from it every day. It is an honor to watch you all BLOOM together. And the girls are just darling. Thank you. ❤
Your adorable and someone who deserves a medal. The girls lifts my spirits everyday. I recently turned 70 and I’m so depressed. So know that your entire family lifts me up. And I thank you!! 😮
@donnakollar3157 I'm sure that watching Gwen and Ana helps so many people with dealing with depression, sickness and any other troubles they may be suffering. I hope your depression is simply a temporary condition and wish you well as you battle your way through it. Hang in there...as Guinevere is fond of saying she will see you tomorrow row row row! 😊😉💜💝🌿🌺🌻🌼🌿
Sign language really IS great to know. Schools are already tasked with so much they've got to teach our children, there may not be time in the school day, but I hope more parents will teach it to their kids. I wish teaching kids to sign was popular when my kids were little. It would have been so helpful in the days before they learned to talk.
Bless you for protecting your girls from the sun. I lost my daughter 24 years ago to melanoma. You and Walt are great parents and I never miss your videos. Enjoy them so much. They remind me of my girls when they were small. They were only a year apart .
@joansimons6205 So sorry for your loss, Joan. A parent should never have to bury their child. I think back 50 years ago when I was a kid...it was common for people to slather baby oil on themselves and bake in the sun. Skin cancer is no joke, and it's so important to use sunscreen and wear hats even on cloudy days, especially on delicate baby skin. I hope happy memories of your daughter come to mind, especially when you need it the most to comfort you and bring a smile to your heart. 😇🙏💔
Hi, Alicia. I'm from Brazil and I've been following you since you started showing what it's like to be a mother of twins. I don't have twins and my son is 44 years old. I study English and I learn a lot listening to you and your daugthers. your children are wonderful. Great ideia this video.
I think everything you do with the girls is brilliant. I think they are quite easy to tell apart and I can tell their voices apart too. They may be twins but two individuals as well.
That was so much fun! It’s always great to see your smiling face! When you were talking about being a barber I thought ‘I wonder if she still cuts Walt’s hair’ and then I had to laugh when a picture of him popped into my head! So funny how Ana called Dada Walt! Guin and her bangs!! I was a bit surprised someone asked why you talk to them during meals! I think it’s wonderful, I loved your explanation. You and Walt fill their lives with joy and vice versa! You are all very lucky! Did they have fun at the park?!
We as a family talked about a lot of things at the family meals. My dad was so knowledgeable on many subjects including the history of the area we lived in in Germany. We loved those talks and we still miss them. He passed at age 94 and until then was sharp as can be. We learned so so much. He was awesome. By the way we were a 3 girls household
With the vast choices of food and activities you do with the girls I thought you had a nursing background or some kind of medical background. You are so smart with how you are raising them. These girls are the luckiest kids ever. You and your husband are doing such a great job giving them a well rounded life.
I think I’m able to tell the girls apart, it appears to me that Gwen’s face from the cheeks down is longer than Ana’s. Their personalities are a bit different also. Both are adorable ♥️
I’ve noticed that Guin’s hair is a tad darker than Anna’s. That’s my go-to when i can’t see their face’s clearly. Face forward, Anna’s cheeks give her away. They’re both adorable in face and personality.
A lovely video Alicia, thank you for sharing some info about your family but always remember that you and Walt,(Mum and Dad) bring up the girls as you see fit and no one else. You are all such a beautiful family 😊 x
It’s easy to tell them apart now but when they were babies I really couldn’t say which was which… love this vlog. You are a lovely mummy and family to the girls. ❤❤
I can’t imagine a dinner table with no conversation! That’s always been when we’re our happiest! Kids will learn not to talk with mouths full, etc, but being used to talking to each other will help them be more open as they get older.❤
What a wonderful Video Alicia....I loved the way you addressed all the different questions from your viewers, you did an amazing job and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you. You are not only a beautiful person but also a beautiful Mum 😘
I love watching your family. I babysit my 18month old granddaughter (same birthday of your girls) she loves watching. She has picked up some of the sign language they do. She waves to them also talks to them (in her jibber). I feel you teach all if us amazingly. You are a awesome mom💖💖
Thank you for answering questions. I can see why your barbershop was so popular - you are a kind and gentle soul and probably made people feel very good at your shop, just as you do here. I wonder how A and G will feel about being filmed as they grow older. It will be interesting to find out.
I had unruly hair, my daughter had unruly hair, and my grand had unruly hair. We all "outgrew"it. There are so many more important things to dwell on. Good job Mom.
Alicia, I love your gentle soothing voice… so clear & easy to understand. I’m from waaaay down south. A 78 year~old local Chinese Singaporean. Been watching your videos since a year ago. Enjoyed them & marvelled at Anastasia’s & Guinevere’s speech/ vocabulary. Very intelligent little girls. You have answered a question that has been on my mind .. that is .. why are the food not cut into smaller pieces for them. Okay..now I ‘get it’. Great parenting from you & Walt 👏👍💐
I loved this Q&A session. I found you on UA-cam about 5 months ago so I appreciated the time you took to let us know about you, Walt and the girls. Re: conversation while eating a meal. I was brought up with family eating our meals all together and carrying on a conversation at the dinner table. I think it is perfectly acceptable and important. You and Walt are doing an amazing job. I enjoy your daily videos and watching the girls growing up right before our eyes. ❤
That was very fun, Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your beautiful girls, you and Walt are such great parents. You guys and your beautiful girls are so stinking funny. 🥰
oh, and i just realized those little critters aren't even 3 years old yet. your girls are sooo smart and funny! you guys are doing a great job with them!
@@lindaqueen169- I always called my grandsons little critters, and they'd each say 'I'm not a little critter, I'm a little boy". Thanks for the memories. The youngest is now 22 yrs old!
Alicia thank you for answering all these questions. You're and Walt doing a great job with the girls, so amazing! Have a wonderful day today. God bless you. 😊😊❤❤
Dearest Alicia. I know somebody's Birthday is today 😂😂😂.So l wish you all the best. Have fun with Walt and of course with your little angels. Thanks for shareing your time with so many user. You make us so happy God bless you. Love from Vienna ❤❤❤❤
We watch the girls every day. We appreciate you sharing your videos about the girls. We love you talking to them and them interacting with each other. I also like the girls holding hands around the table and saying amen.
You are a beautiful individual, inside and out, and speak as if you have mastered Psychology, Sociology and Behavioral Health. I appreciate these Q&A's! You are to be commended and it appears that you love and enjoy being their mother! Thanks for sharing and your well thought out answers. Remain Encouraged!!🎉🎉🎉
Alicia, you're such a sweetheart. Thanks for doing this. You and Walt are great parents and have taught the girls so well. They have great manners to be so young, their vocabulary is immense, and they are just such well adjusted little people! (FYI: I had a cat named CAT when I was a kid. I don't think cats care about such trivial matters as a name LOL).
What a special treat to see the beautiful voice behind the videos! Love seeing your pretty face. It so easy to see where the girls get their eyes and those amazing facial expressions! Thanks Alicia
Thank you for the Q&A, very interesting. It’s a precious time when children are small and to enjoy and appreciate. It’s gone all too fast.❤ My husband is left handed, back in the day he was forced to write with his right hand and physically hit with a ruler across the knuckles by his teachers if he used his left hand. Consequently he does write with his left hand but his hand writing is awful, glad that abuse has long since been banished. Incidentally, we also had a cat ( for 13 years) who we just called CAT, basically because no-one could think of a name for her that we could agree on.
We love momma Alicia ❤It's amazing what you do with the girls. They will look back at these videos and see themselves and how you were there for them ❤
It's great to see you front and center in a video, Alicia. I love your sunny, laid back personality. You and Walt are wonderful parents and Ana and Guin are absolutely adorable. 😊
Hi Alicia, thank you for this session. We have a lot in common. We are both in Massachusetts. I try to "hide" my accent, but it does come out when I'm stressed or angry lol. You guys have a well-rounded parenting style, which is very refreshing. I was very happy to to see that youve taught them some signing...I taught my son some basic signs as my mother was born hard of hearing, and signing helped him understand why she speaks differently. I lost my 1st and 2nd pregnancies, one of them had a 99.9% fatal birth defect and our dr. said my chances of having another was high, so when we found my son was perfect, we decided to stop there. Keep up your good work. Youre going to have 2 very well-rounded adults 20 years from now! ❤🙂
I grew up the oldest of 7 children. You can imagine how large our dining room table was. My Mom was a school teacher and my Dad was a construction worker. We had many laughs and conversations around the dinner table. I so agree with you, Alicia. Cheers from Canada!
Thank you for taking time to do a Q and A you are so beautiful and so is the family ❤ your family brightens all of our days . You and Walt are raising such bright intelligent little ladies
I have twin boys,that are now adults,and are best buddies since birth.They had their own language and were great babies.My twins are one righthanded and one lefthanded.,and are identical.Out of my four sons,2 left and 2 right.The girls are precious,keep up the good work
Hello Alicia 🤗 This video is very interesting 👌 thank you for answering the questions 👏 You Barton's are my favorite family on UA-cam 🥰 Alicia you are a wonderful mother, Walt is a wonderful father and I look forward to seeing Anastasia and Guinevere every day 🩷💜 Wish you a great day. Big hug from Austria-Vienna 🇦🇹 Renate 🤗 ... see you tomorrow row row 🤭🤣💕🍀🙏
Guten Abend liebe Renate, ich möchte dir nur kurz zustimmen. Alicia und Walt gehen ihren Weg unbeirrt und der Erfolg gibt ihnen recht. Ich habe so viele "Aha" Momente wenn ich die Videos anschaue und ich kann guten Gewissens sagen, dass ich viel von den beiden lernen konnte bisher, auch wenn mein Sohn bereits erwachsen ist. 💜🩷 So, nun wünsche ich dir einen wunderbaren Abend liebe Renate, sende dir ganz herzliche Grüsse und eine dicke Umarmung! 🤗🌼💕 See you tomow-ow-ow! 🥰🙋♀
@@JaM22113 Guten Abend liebe Jaqueline! Ich muss gestehen... ich habe nicht alles 100% verstanden 🫣... aber im Groben schon 😁🤭 ich bewundere die beiden sehr, vor allem das ruhige, geduldige von Alicia 👌👏... liebe Jacqueline ich wünsche dir auch einen ruhigen Abend, sende dir liebe Grüße und eine riesige Umarmung 🤗🍀🙏🥰 see you tomorrow row row 💜🩷😘
Wow! I love this video! Getting to hear Mom speak for a nice long period of time is really great and sharing all the details about the girls, answering questions, relaying stories is so great. The girls have Mom's absolutely gorgeous eyes! Again, love this, and thanks for this video. You ought to consider doing this periodically.
I really enjoyed this. Having watched the girls for so long now I had the funniest image pop into my head of the two of them deciding which one would go first when they were born. I’ve never been able to follow any child for so long and watch all the stages of development. With twins we can see the individuality forming and their interactions with each other as well as their parents. For an old retired medical social worker I can tell you that your videos are invaluable teaching tools for child development, for parenting skills, and for family dynamics. So we don’t just enjoy you. We need you.
Thank you so much for this Q & A Alicia! It was lovely to see your pretty face, and seeing you confirms my belief that Anna looks more like you. The girls are so cute and lovely, and they seem to be communicating more with each other on camera these days. BTW, I am a retired Hairdresser/ Barber, and owned my own businesses for years, so I know how hard it can be, though I loved every minute of it. It is a privilege for me to see a small window into your lives as a family.❤
I love that you and Dad talk to the girls while they eat!
Me too! We always had conversation at the table...and a lot of laughter!
Alicia I feel quite privileged that you have taken the time to answer questions about your beautiful daughters and made us feel welcome to be a part of this special time. Thank you from England ❤️❤️❤️
You are fantastic parents and the girls are thriving ❤❤
Just love this video! ❤
Love the photo of Ana with a pair of huge glasses 🤓 so adorable 😂
Conversation at the dinner table is perfect and helps them to develop habits of talking about things. They’re excited about or sad about and know that it’s OK to talk about whatever is on their mind.
The best talks I ever had with my son when he was growing up,was while we were eating. Bonus talks if we went out lol.
@@LindaDietrich-i8d totally agree with dinner conversations. They're the best. It's a relaxed atmosphere and anything goes. I would just ask..what's on the conversation block tonight? That was all that was needed for non stop conversation.

Love that you give the girls a voice at the dinner table. It is so cute to hear them tell us about their day.❤
I like how laid back you are as a mom. The girls are adorable!
Your conversations with the girls while eating are magical times. This is how they learn, in general. It's also just showing love!
Yes. Just like Alicia, we were raised to eat dinner together, at the dinner table, and there was great conversation. Sometimes, my Dad would "host" little contests, like simple math problems we had to do in our head, spelling bees, little trivia questions.

I think it is absolutely wonderful that you are teaching the girls sign language. This is the age for learning and they learn easily. 👏🏻🙂❤️
My OH is profoundly Deaf and he thinks it's wonderful that the girls learned to sign

I hope your depression is simply a temporary condition and wish you well as you battle your way through it. Hang in there...as Guinevere is fond of saying she will see you tomorrow row row row! 😊😉💜💝🌿🌺🌻🌼🌿
Hello, The girls have definitely helped me through some dark days. Depression is a hard thing to get through. Keep your chin up and keep smiling.😊
You are a great mom don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Sign language is great to know. You never know when you will need it. It should be something they learn in schools.

I have learned sign language from your littles 🧡🧡🧡
@user-qp4tw9wt6y my grandson takes America sign language as one of his electives . They offer it at the schools in California

Hi, Alicia. I'm from Brazil and I've been following you since you started showing what it's like to be a mother of twins. I don't have twins and my son is 44 years old.
I study English and I learn a lot listening to you and your daugthers.

Parabems Tania, your English seems good, especially to be writing in it. Keep up your good work! (I'm American who grew up in Rio).
Yes, you are doing well writing in English. And congratulations on having a 44 yr old son!😊
I think everything you do with the girls is brilliant. I think they are quite easy to tell apart and I can tell their voices apart too. They may be twins but two individuals as well.

I hadn’t noticed before, but I now see where the girls got their beautiful blue eyes! Thanks for a great Q&A Alicia, so informative!💛
So glad the girls have beautiful blue eyes like yours.
We as a family talked about a lot of things at the family meals. My dad was so knowledgeable on many subjects including the history of the area we lived in in Germany. We loved those talks and we still miss them. He passed at age 94 and until then was sharp as can be. We learned so so much. He was awesome. By the way we were a 3 girls household
Thank you. I loved this! Many questions answered. I hope you do this on occasion to educate us all.
I could listen to you reading the phone book, you have the most soothing ,gentle voice . Thank you for this video x
Great comment 👍 I agree that Alicia's voice is just beautiful. ❣️👩❤️👩🥰
With the vast choices of food and activities you do with the girls I thought you had a nursing background or some kind of medical background. You are so smart with how you are raising them. These girls are the luckiest kids ever. You and your husband are doing such a great job giving them a well rounded life.
I can tell them apart. But you pointed the difference perfectly.

However or whatever you are doing, please continue - it's working !!! Love the UA-cams and family !!! Thank you for being part of our lives.
This video was a great idea !! Really enjoyed it ! ❤️
Love their finger games!! Awesome parents! The girls are so smart!!
Thanks Alicia! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this video. Did you & Walt ever dream you'd be such great parents for twins? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s easy to tell them apart now but when they were babies I really couldn’t say which was which… love this vlog. You are a lovely mummy and family to the girls. ❤❤

I love that you talk to the girls while they eat I remember as a child we would sit around the dinner table and talk about our day ❤
What an interesting & enjoyable video. Thank you so much!
I love watching your family. I babysit my 18month old granddaughter (same birthday of your girls) she loves watching. She has picked up some of the sign language they do. She waves to them also talks to them (in her jibber). I feel you teach all if us amazingly. You are a awesome mom💖💖
I think their little finger games are great, they’re making a game using their imagination and not needing a toy or a screen. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love their finger games. They can do that almost any where.
Thank you for answering questions. I can see why your barbershop was so popular - you are a kind and gentle soul and probably made people feel very good at your shop, just as you do here. I wonder how A and G will feel about being filmed as they grow older. It will be interesting to find out.
I had unruly hair, my daughter had unruly hair, and my grand had unruly hair. We all "outgrew"it. There are so many more important things to dwell on. Good job Mom.
Alicia, I love your gentle soothing voice… so clear & easy to understand. I’m from waaaay down south. A 78 year~old local Chinese Singaporean. Been watching your videos since a year ago. Enjoyed them & marvelled at Anastasia’s & Guinevere’s speech/ vocabulary. Very intelligent little girls. You have answered a question that has been on my mind .. that is .. why are the food not cut into smaller pieces for them. Okay..now I ‘get it’. Great parenting from you & Walt 👏👍💐
You do a Great job, Alicia.
Your are a very Proud Mom.
Greetings from
Australia 🌈💜💖🌻🦋
Enjoyed time with mom. You are such a great mom. Maybe one day you and Walt can do a video together answering questions. Thanks so much for sharing
Wonderful video! They are adorable. I watch them when I need stress relief. Thank you for sharing your children with us!
Love the communication during meals ❤ I would like to learn sign language also- maybe you can do some asl videos with the girls.
You’re such a beautiful mom!!
Thank you🥰♥️♥️
We always sat at the table as a family as i was a child and i loved it a charised memory.
I loved this Q&A session. I found you on UA-cam about 5 months ago so I appreciated the time you took to let us know about you, Walt and the girls. Re: conversation while eating a meal. I was brought up with family eating our meals all together and carrying on a conversation at the dinner table. I think it is perfectly acceptable and important. You and Walt are doing an amazing job. I enjoy your daily videos and watching the girls growing up right before our eyes. ❤
That was very fun, Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your beautiful girls, you and Walt are such great parents. You guys and your beautiful girls are so stinking funny. 🥰
oh wow! 2-2-22. what a cool birthday!
oh, and i just realized those little critters aren't even 3 years old yet. your girls are sooo smart and funny! you guys are doing a great job with them!
@@lindaqueen169- I always called my grandsons little critters, and they'd each say 'I'm not a little critter, I'm a little boy". Thanks for the memories. The youngest is now 22 yrs old!
@SharonPerson-hm9ds I once called one of my twin nieces a pickle, and she said, "I not a pickle, I Caitlin," lol 😆
@@suejohnson323 She wasn't wrong! 🤣🤣🤣
Alicia thank you for answering all these questions. You're and Walt doing a great job with the girls, so amazing! Have a wonderful day today. God bless you. 😊😊❤❤
Dearest Alicia. I know somebody's Birthday is today 😂😂😂.So l wish you all the best. Have fun with Walt and of course with your little angels. Thanks for shareing your time with so many user. You make us so happy
God bless you. Love from Vienna ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much🤗❤️❤️
You are awesome! I love watching you all, and love your patience.
You can only do the best u can 😊 good parents be proud.. when I was growing up we always talked about our day at dinner ,never stop .
You got a two for one deal on the kids! One pregnancy, two kids! It's perfect!
We watch the girls every day. We appreciate you sharing your videos about the girls. We love you talking to them and them interacting with each other. I also like the girls holding hands around the table and saying amen.
You are a beautiful individual, inside and out, and speak as if you have mastered Psychology, Sociology and Behavioral Health. I appreciate these Q&A's! You are to be commended and it appears that you love and enjoy being their mother! Thanks for sharing and your well thought out answers.
Remain Encouraged!!🎉🎉🎉
I enjoyed watching this video and learning more about the twins. Alicia, you have such a lovely speaking voice; you could read for Audible.
Alicia, you're such a sweetheart. Thanks for doing this. You and Walt are great parents and have taught the girls so well. They have great manners to be so young, their vocabulary is immense, and they are just such well adjusted little people! (FYI: I had a cat named CAT when I was a kid. I don't think cats care about such trivial matters as a name LOL).
What a special treat to see the beautiful voice behind the videos! Love seeing your pretty face. It so easy to see where the girls get their eyes and those amazing facial expressions! Thanks Alicia
Thank you for the Q&A, very interesting. It’s a precious time when children are small and to enjoy and appreciate. It’s gone all too fast.❤
My husband is left handed, back in the day he was forced to write with his right hand and physically hit with a ruler across the knuckles by his teachers if he used his left hand. Consequently he does write with his left hand but his hand writing is awful, glad that abuse has long since been banished.
Incidentally, we also had a cat ( for 13 years) who we just called CAT, basically because no-one could think of a name for her that we could agree on.
We love momma Alicia ❤It's amazing what you do with the girls. They will look back at these videos and see themselves and how you were there for them ❤
It's great to see you front and center in a video, Alicia. I love your sunny, laid back personality. You and Walt are wonderful parents and Ana and Guin are absolutely adorable. 😊
Hi Alicia, thank you for this session. We have a lot in common. We are both in Massachusetts. I try to "hide" my accent, but it does come out when I'm stressed or angry lol. You guys have a well-rounded parenting style, which is very refreshing. I was very happy to to see that youve taught them some signing...I taught my son some basic signs as my mother was born hard of hearing, and signing helped him understand why she speaks differently. I lost my 1st and 2nd pregnancies, one of them had a 99.9% fatal birth defect and our dr. said my chances of having another was high, so when we found my son was perfect, we decided to stop there. Keep up your good work. Youre going to have 2 very well-rounded adults 20 years from now! ❤🙂
Alicia the Q and A session was very informative 😊 thank you.
Alicia, you are a wonderful mom and a wonderful person
I am glad you are doing well after your pregnancy. God bless.❤
I grew up the oldest of 7 children. You can imagine how large our dining room table was. My Mom was a school teacher and my Dad was a construction worker. We had many laughs and conversations around the dinner table. I so agree with you, Alicia. Cheers from Canada!
Thank you for taking time to do a Q and A you are so beautiful and so is the family ❤ your family brightens all of our days . You and Walt are raising such bright intelligent little ladies
So kind of you to take the to talk with your viewers. Thank you. I love watching you, your husband and the twins as they grow.❤😊
I think you are an incredibly wise Mommy for these little cuties!!
I have twin boys,that are now adults,and are best buddies since birth.They had their own language and were great babies.My twins are one righthanded and one lefthanded.,and are identical.Out of my four sons,2 left and 2 right.The girls are precious,keep up the good work
They have the coolest birthday date 2/2/22 😊
Hello Alicia 🤗 This video is very interesting 👌 thank you for answering the questions 👏 You Barton's are my favorite family on UA-cam 🥰 Alicia you are a wonderful mother, Walt is a wonderful father and I look forward to seeing Anastasia and Guinevere every day 🩷💜 Wish you a great day. Big hug from Austria-Vienna 🇦🇹 Renate 🤗 ... see you tomorrow row row 🤭🤣💕🍀🙏
Guten Abend liebe Renate, ich möchte dir nur kurz zustimmen. Alicia und Walt gehen ihren Weg unbeirrt und der Erfolg gibt ihnen recht. Ich habe so viele "Aha" Momente wenn ich die Videos anschaue und ich kann guten Gewissens sagen, dass ich viel von den beiden lernen konnte bisher, auch wenn mein Sohn bereits erwachsen ist. 💜🩷 So, nun wünsche ich dir einen wunderbaren Abend liebe Renate, sende dir ganz herzliche Grüsse und eine dicke Umarmung! 🤗🌼💕 See you tomow-ow-ow! 🥰🙋♀
@@JaM22113 Guten Abend liebe Jaqueline! Ich muss gestehen... ich habe nicht alles 100% verstanden 🫣... aber im Groben schon 😁🤭 ich bewundere die beiden sehr, vor allem das ruhige, geduldige von Alicia 👌👏... liebe Jacqueline ich wünsche dir auch einen ruhigen Abend, sende dir liebe Grüße und eine riesige Umarmung 🤗🍀🙏🥰 see you tomorrow row row 💜🩷😘
Thank you! Love your girls, they are adorable ❤
Wow! I love this video! Getting to hear Mom speak for a nice long period of time is really great and sharing all the details about the girls, answering questions, relaying stories is so great. The girls have Mom's absolutely gorgeous eyes! Again, love this, and thanks for this video. You ought to consider doing this periodically.
I really enjoyed this. Having watched the girls for so long now I had the funniest image pop into my head of the two of them deciding which one would go first when they were born. I’ve never been able to follow any child for so long and watch all the stages of development. With twins we can see the individuality forming and their interactions with each other as well as their parents. For an old retired medical social worker I can tell you that your videos are invaluable teaching tools for child development, for parenting skills, and for family dynamics. So we don’t just enjoy you. We need you.
Absolutely spot on ❤
Beautifully said! 💕
Great comment 👍🥰😁
You go..
No, you go.
Don't want to.
Ana gives Guin a gentle push... 😂😂
I am an old retired clinical social worker and could not agree more with the above comment.❤❤❤❤

Thanks so much Alicia. That was interesting. They are truly sweet & funny little souls. I know they are your husband's & your little heart throbs. ❤❤
Loved this Q&A! Thanks for taking the time & sharing your family with all of us ❤️
Thank you so much for this Q & A Alicia! It was lovely to see your pretty face, and seeing you confirms my belief that Anna looks more like you. The girls are so cute and lovely, and they seem to be communicating more with each other on camera these days. BTW, I am a retired Hairdresser/ Barber, and owned my own businesses for years, so I know how hard it can be, though I loved every minute of it. It is a privilege for me to see a small window into your lives as a family.❤
