Me and Ava got the same song lol

😂😂😂😂
Screaming!!!! 🤣😭😫 stoppppppppppp
😂😂😂
Same! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As an autism mom as well, I know exactly what you mean. My oldest, an 11 y/o boy, has autism, my 6 y/o daughter, does not. But I have watched her like a hawk and felt incompetent in my ability to notice the signs. My son was born when I was newly married at 24 and I really didn’t notice any issues with his development. His pediatrician noticed it in his check up and ordered us assistance. He speaks so well now, surprises me daily with his vocabulary although he wasn’t speaking in time. He definitely has his quirks still but I’m so impressed by his pediatrician for urging us not to ignore her advice because we were able to put a team in place to help us. My daughter was born and I had the same fears I had after my son was diagnosed. And I’ve noticed some things in her I found strange and began to panic. But her teachers and doctors assure me that she will likely phase out of the minuscule delays that she had. And she is also doing impressive things lately. All I can say is that I learned to trust God always and know that even if something is wrong, that there’s help. Whether it’s God changing our expectations and making us more patient and understanding or placing angels in our life that can help get us to a more peaceful life. It all works out.
💛🙏🏾
My Girl Ms Vaughn…….how open you are about Autism is absolutely refreshing…….i have learned so much through your Autism vlogs Vaughn and hope you continue to share your journey with us. Anne and Ava are absolutely Beautiful girls and You and Anthony should be very proud. Smile 😊
I just wanna say I've been following you for over a decade (I'm a year younger than your sis Alex), and the inspiration has been wild. If you are ever wondering if you've made a tabgible difference in someone's life, think about me. From embracing my natural hair back in college to switching career gears from engineering to philanthropy and now working my way through Grad School, I feel like you've been the big sis I've always wanted leading by example, being transparent about mistakes, and sharing lessons learned. One of my biggest takeaways from following along on your journey is that I can ALWAYS reinvent myself - from my career to my family dynamic, self-perception to my net worth. I can change my life. And with that comes the courage and audacity to figure out whatever comes with that decision. You have shared so much with us over the years, and I'm so grateful to you for that. When I'm ready to buy a home and have some kids (or renovate my back patio, or remodel my fireplace 😩) I'm doubling back on all the videos you've posted. I'd like to be a black girls who runs, me and my 18-minute mile are getting started this week. I can't wait to see where I'm at by the end of this year. Thanks for the ecouragement, as always.
-Daniah (I live in the Bahamas btw, an international lil sis 😂)
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾💯 Thank you so much!! Also congrats on your accomplishments “lil sis” very proud of you 🙌🏾 (wish I was in the Bahamas right now lol)
Parental anxiety is so real! And then I feel guilty for having the thoughts 😮💨 Thanks for the vulnerability and willingness to share, Vaughn.
Kudos to your viewers for not asking and giving you the space to share as you see fit. You are a exceptional mother 🙏🏾
Not me having to rewind and start the video over b/c I spent the first 9 minutes distracted by and talking to baby Ava. Lol. I was like, wait, what is Vaughn sharing with us, Ava done distracted me with all of her cuteness. Lol.
Ms, my prayer is that you will accept that your children are PERFECT and stop driving yourself crazy! Every child…every person has special needs so you’re normal
She is so comfortable and relax on your lap! the innocent life of having no worries! Love it!
I think black would have been the better option for color for the island. It would bounce off your staircase.
I agree... you do not have to match the floor. Pick whatever color you really want.
I agree~also bounce off the lights over the island
My same exact thoughts!!! Vaughn, PLEASE consider painting ur island black! U alrdy know how beautiful it will turn out, hence your gorgeous stairway!!!
Black would be awesome.
I very much needed to hear this today. I have a 7 yr old son who is autistic and was also diagnosed with a rare cancer last year. My 2 year old daughter has a speech delay and the therapists are telling me it’s not autism but I am always looking for signs of autism in her. I definitely need to go to therapy but for some reason I have been fighting it. All of this has been taking a huge mental toll on me. I think hearing your story gave me the push to finally get some help for myself.
❤
Prayers for you and your family! 🙏🏾
I swear, Vaughn. You are just the coolest, realest person. I always enjoy you.
I'm also from Nigeria and I've been watching your vlogs for over 5years. I love everything about you and also how you share your life . In my head we are kool friends.
That thief of joy hit home and hit hard. The way I’m windmilling for my life right now is crazy.
Same!! 😢❤
Sis we got this. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 30:5
I’m so glad you’re talking about this because it’s my biggest fear and the reason I probably won’t have another child. My son has very high support needs and is completely nonverbal and selfishly I wanted a “normal” child but as he gets bigger his needs get bigger and I’m GLAD I decided not to do it again! You have done amazing with Anne and you’re an amazing mother! ❤🫶🏾
Ava looks so much like Kay Kay your niece
I agree…. Kay Kay’s twin!
Definitely her twin!!
She really does
Girl!! Anthony gave birth to Ava! She is totally his twin.
Uh huh!!! But with a little dash of Annie too.
Wow!! I see all Vaughn!!
😅😂❤
I see Vaughn and her Mom.
I see Platty.. Her Mom
Girl-friend Ms Vaughn!!!! I just realize the main reason why I watch your vlogs. I love your content and positive energy of keeping it real and yet being protective of your family privacy. You share what you want to share. I am not a mother or a wife but we have so many other things in common . . . Loss of a sibling, failed relationship with mother and so much more. You have talked me into using your link for some talk therapy!!! I have had the same opinions about therapy!!! But I am going to do it because there are things that I certainly would never express to friends or people around me. I need you to be my therapist. Thanks for that push. Oh and I hate BofA but I will support your run!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
First of all thank you for showing Ava today! I thoroughly enjoy your content and family! We have a family member with autism. I have learned so much from him. Your daughters are beautiful and we appreciate your transparency and realness!👌🏾
I think in a lot of ways having kids is trauma in itself in some way! As a mom of 2 I know exactly what you mean! The “I’m not that special” hit hard!!! I’ve been thruuuu some thangs hunnny!! Thank you for sharing openly and I indeed need to go to therapy!
Sending love!!!
Here since the beginning when favourite videos were all we used to worry about!❤ Routing for you Vaughn!!!
“Having kids is trauma in itself” omg the way I agreeeeeee🔥🔥🔥Thank you for the support hun I appreciate you!
Vaughn, you are so loved & appreciated. Thank you for sharing yourself & family with us all these years, & these wonderful, productive, HEALTHY conversations😘❤
I pray that you & your mother can restore your relationship with God's help all things are possible
I have forgiven her and managed to finally find peace for myself. For me that’s better than having a relationship with her because unfortunately I cannot have both. Thank you so much for the kind words.
I have 2 boys. 9 and 8. You are right. The level of Trauma is unimaginable. The only positive out of this is that nothing surprises or fazes me anymore. Am kinda Numb to a lot of stuff. 💙
Not Ava hair done up! Too cute! Nice chunky baby
Msvaughn
I am praying for baby Ava, just keep faith in God and he will work it out. Be blessed. 😗☺️❤️❤️
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for being transparent… i personally don’t speak much about my 7 year old son because it’s a lot. But you’re right I diagnosed my daughter with everything and I was not as happy as my first pregnancy. It’s tough and it’s important to lean on your community or speak with someone. I truly appreciate your transparency and sharing your story.
All I saw and heard was Ava!!! She is so adorable!!! I love the way she watches your lips with serious focus😂 She is about to really get loud as soon as she figures out what and how your saying❤...and Sansa helping you meticulously diagnose the island while on the phone with your Dad❤😂 SHE WAS ON IT!
I was really loving your half up half down wavy blow out. It actually looked easy and romantic.
It is so normal to look for something that you know so much about now in other children you have, the important thing is not to stress about it cause God will not give you more than you can handle. You're a great mom!
About mental health; from my xp: to anyone who's ever been a victim of violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. I've always had kinda androgynous look, which was a fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)
We love you Vaughn !!❤❤❤
Completely normal thoughts/feelings Vaughn, thanks for sharing 🤍 My twin sons are on the spectrum, had my daughter 10 years later. The whole pregnancy & entire first year of her life, I was a ball of stress & worry. Never shared it w anyone else, just kept trucking along 😌 Great job w the therapy & sharing on your channel. You are helping many others 🙏🏾 God bless you ☺️
"Anywho breakfast was delicious" I LOVE THIS!! How true...we are ignorant to reality until reality actually hits! But what a blessing to realize it and grow! I love your family!
We love you too Vaughn!
Hey Vaughn and family have a wonderful day/ and an upcoming week. I enjoyed the vlog!!!
As always, thank you for your transparency! 🫶🏾
It's always so much fun hanging out with you and the fam, Vaughn. I hope content creators realize that you all give people like me the opportunity to see places that I may never get to go. And, not only that, it also allows us to become a part of so many families indirectly that we otherwise will never get to know. Social media truly connects so many people from all over the world, and when I think about it, it truly is amazing!! Enjoy your week!
Cant wait to see the island renewed, take your time though, we'll be here!
So, so proud of you Vaughn. For seeking help for mental health, we all need this from time to time.
So proud of you and love your honesty. So glad your therapy is providing you with additional support. Rooting for you and your family
You are so sweet and genuine. Your transparency is admirable.
Prayers of comfort for your cousin and family. Thanks for sharing your transparency. You continue to inspire and your children are amazing. One step at a time. You got all that life tried to throw at you. You are a warrior. ❤❤❤
I have been enjoying your vlogs for years!!! Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your journey!! One autism mom to another!! I wish this was a platform for me when I was raising my son. He’s 27 now. 😊
Sending my Fav a virtual hug. You're doing great Vaughn! ThAnkhs for being so candid with with us💚
I admire you so much Vaughn ❤✨🫶🏽
Hey Vaughn! Love our videos! Ava and Anne are so sweet! Love all of the kitchen renovations! I just donated to your BOA run too, super proud of you!
Happy Sunday. You and your family is amazing! love ya sis, til next time continue to take care of yourself🙂😍
Ava so sweet! Strolling in the neighborhood is nice to do. I cannot wait to see the new kitchen Island. I know it’s going to be beautiful!❤ thanks for sharing!❤
She is so adorable!
Hey Vaughn & Family, I’m glad that you have someone outside of family & friends that you can talk to because that space to be able to speak freely & not worry about Aunt, sister or friends talking about your business with other family & friends is priceless. I think little Ava is coming along just fine. 😊
Hello Vaughn, always enjoy ur vlogs. Can’t wait to see the island transformation! I’m excited for you!!❤
I can understand how you feel. I’m so glad God got your beautiful family and I know God is going to continue to bless your family.❤❤❤❤❤
As a Black autistic adult with Aspergers and ADHD and autistic children ( now successful adults) Im glad to see you talk about this. No research centers us and psychiatry ignores our concerns. Keep educating the autism communities. Our voices are important and our cultural differences, and Drs aren't competent with, can make it a lonely journey.
Very sad.😢😢😢

Hi Vaughn, thanks for your honesty and transparency in talking about your losses, fears, and realizations. I used to think that same way about therapy, but have seen so much growth in friends and loved ones who have sought therapy and found it to be healing. Like many others, I always enjoy your vlogs, projects, and stories. You are inspiring many people and helping others by sharing your experiences! We truly appreciate you! You are great at what you do!!!

Eat healthy and continue to pray
Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing this. I just had my first baby and it’s a test not to let the anxiety get to me. I love your vlogs and I appreciate you so much! ❤❤
Your vlogs are always enjoyable and informational! I love that you're Unapologetically you! Thanks for sharing.
Firstly, my sincerest condolences on your loss. I pray that God mends every broken place in your family. TFS!
So glad I found your vlog, your the best mom and inspiration ❤
She is for sure Anthony’s twin. Glad you each have a twin.
Ava is a smart and very joyful baby!!! Ann is a pure and lovely big sis! I look forward to seeing their love for each other over the years. I thank God for them! God Bless ✝️🥰❤
Sorry for your loss.
God has your children covered, Ava is a natural for the camera! Adorable!
Thank you for sharing. I used the link and signed up for Better Help. I’m struggling with grief and stress - it’s affecting my physical health in ways I never imagined. I’m praying and exercising- but I think talking it out might help me too
Hi Vaughn, as long as she is healthy and happy and has parents who will care for her like you're doing with her big sister, she'll be just fine ❤ I went to the car wash and I didn't notice that it loosened the third brake light on my truck.
I know this video is "old" but man do I agree. Being a special needs mother is so exhausting and my heart goes out to women who are single and don't have help.
I would paint the island a taupe or gray to give it a more updated look or even a similar color as the cabinets
I think painting it black will work well also
@@ginipou ,yes agreed, but since the floors are dark,I thought a lighter color would open the space more
Thank you for your transparency Vaughn. It helps normalize when others have similar feelings or experiences.
I always love watching you and your beautiful family. I can’t wait to see how your island turns out. #autismawarenessmonth ❤
oh my gosh look at ava she is blooming she is growing fast nice baby to cuddle you all have a bless day
Vaughn, you are a great mom. ❤
I love the content on your channel. You have a beautiful family, and you are inspiring.
Hello friend
You wear so many hats and I’m here for it. You remind me of myself back in the days. You and your husband work so well together. I enjoy watching your DIY’s, Your different hair styles and family get togethers. Always been here just never commented just hit the thumbs up. See you next video.
Great vlog as always. Very inspirational and motivational 😊
Loved this!❤
As I never comment and always watch and support . I wanted to commend you on being honest with us on how you are feeling and your emotions . Vaughn, I commend you for being an awesome Autism Mom and caring for Anne the way you do. I pray God keeps you and your family covered. And to keep your heart and mind at ease that whatever comes your way God will guide you ❤
Ava and her ponytails were all in the camera! Too cute, lots of personality ❤
Ok. Now that I watched the video, I'll take my boxing gloves off. I thought folks were bothering you about Miss Ava. I'm happy to know things are good and that you are taking care of yourself. Your an amazing Mom and I appreciate how you share your life. Thank you 😊
Wow when you showed Clean Eatz and I saw Orland Park!! I go to Orland Park a few times a month, so I'll have to check it out!! I'm newer to your channel--beautiful family and home, and thank you for sharing the information on mental health and Autism!! I appreciated that.
Thank you for your transparency regarding your kids Vaughn. I’m glad to hear that you have the support of their doctor, your therapist and hopefully your family.
Completely unrelated but would you consider painting the island base black?
Vaughn consider priming then painting the island. Stripping might open a whooooole new can of worms and the process is EXHAUSTING depending on how long its been on there and the type of wood it really is
Vaughn I Totally understand. Only ppl on this journey would understand
You can do it all...cooking, hair, makeup, decorating and on top of that you're a mom and wife❤
Thanks for sharing ♥️💪🙏.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗
Ava has the sweetest face! Hey Little Anne💜💕
Love your blogs and family!
You’re a great mom. ❤
I hate the carwash too, It broke the antenna on my suv 😩.
Also you are doing good momma, being a parent is hard and scary. Take it one day at a time. Stay prayed up and dont ignore any signs you feel are off.
Condolences to you and your family🙏🏾
I understand what your going through, but Avia is fine and growing well. She’s healthy and a beautiful baby girl. ❤🙏🏽
Always praying for you and your family, I am a preschool teacher nd work with children with autism and I have a daughter and my husband that have learning disabilities.
Precious moments ❤
