I love the idea of controlled choices. In addition to Yes Days, consider trying “yes and” when a child’s request is acceptable but not necessarily at the time. Ex: Mom, can I go to the store? Instead of saying a flat no, try saying “Yes, and I will take you with me when I go Thursday.” Or “Can I have a cookie?” “Yes and I will get it for you after dinner.” While children should certainly hear and learn to accept no, it is equally important that children learn to manage expectations and time constraints. “Yes and…” will help them learn patience and eventually learn time and schedules. Since many times our “No” really means “not right now” it also helps parents save absolute Nos for big things like “Can I ride to the party with---? “
The moment she grabbed the bar and asked the little girl if she wanted to go first I cried lol she is the perfect addition to your family and I've always believe that she's always so kind. She's such a sweet little girl.❤
I love that you and Aaron took Evie alone to Walmart and donuts. It's so so important for them to feel special and get alone time to bond with mom and dad with no other distractions. ❤
I rarely comment but this was so lovely to see Evie having time alone with Aaron and Crystal. I definitely think she needs this regularly, just her with you. She seems to be flourishing and is so appreciative of things as she is not used to this like others. So happy for her.
Evie is so excited opening her new scooter. She is such a sweet young lady. I am so happy that you gave her a yes day she has been through so much in her young life. She deserves this so much. God bless her little heart, and I know that you do special things for each and every one of your kids, so none of them will ever be jealous.
Evie is not only sprouting up quickly, but I can tell a big difference from when we were first introduced to now. Evie, you are a wonderful young lady and it is sweet that you want a swim suit like Aurora's and to share your scooter with Jamie. Don't ever change Evie.
I loved when u said evie could get sandels n water shoes n she said thank you n face she wants to match her sister. When she got on scooter n said jamie n i can share so sweet, kind hearted n bubbly. I love how even with 18 kids u make point to do 1 on 1 n even tho was yes day i bet u learned more things about her without just bombarding her with questions. The excitement to get scooter out bless her. Im uk we have pringles but not all the flavours u need to do video on taste testing all flavours?? Please will u show process of packing for cruise (i know crazy middles do packing lists) n how u deciede whos sharing rooms xxx
Hi Guys- glad that Evie is growing and getting more secure and confidant in her new Family. Enjoy your stash Evie and guys have fun on your cruise and stay safe.
Evie is such a loving young girl and I must say she as beautiful manners. Love you gave Evie a '' yes day '', she loves her siblings very much, but so nice you both gave her time with you both going to Walmart. How sweet when her new scooter was set up, she said it was for her and Jamie to share. Blessings.
I love that Evie wants to twin with Aurora. It's so sweet.😊 Even though her favorite color is pink or purple, she opted for the blue to keep hers separate from Aurora. Wanting to share her razor with Jaimie is just too darn adorable. I love the bracelet she received and Aurora's reaction to the towel was so real.😂
Boy did that bring back memories. I was 9 years old, being called into the principals office and 2 sheriff's waiting for me. The next thing i know, it was the sheriff's office, the cps office, and then a house. Though the sheriff's took me to McDonald's
Me too. But I was 15 and when I walked into the office I saw my younger brother who didnt even attend our school. My mom had attempted suicide and family was coming to pick us up. Lucky my mom got help and is here today.
Love y’all, give everybody a hugs for me. Tell Evie she is so beautiful. You are doing amazing jobs adopting kids from foster care centers, keep up the excellent work.
I love that Evie is so considerate saw the little girl and immediately gave her a chance. I want to keep seeing Evie in the videos to get to know her. ❤
I love how considerate Evie is. She is amazing young lady and I know she’s going to continue to grow into such an amazing woman. I can’t wait to watch her grow she’s already grown so much since she became a part of your family
Might just be me, but I find the boys don’t engage with Evie. At the park, nobody tried to help Evie climb up the wall, but there were lots of arms for Aurora. I think Evies exuberance and shrills get to be too much sometimes. Evie tries very hard to be acceptive, yet other than Aurora and Scarlet, I do not see the older kids with Evie. That is sad and I think the other kids should do things with her. It is obvious she lost her parents and is desperate to be accepted and loved.
You have to realize that she came a situation that could include trauma - physical or mental. Crystal explained before the adoption that she is catching up socially and mentally to her age group. Yes there is a difference between her and he4 age level, but that has already improved as well as Aurora. They are a new family, and she is doing things she probably never thought of doing. This is my opinion and it comes from working with special needs kiddos in a school district. She will catch up and crystal and Aaron know how to deal with this progression.
@@sunnyklampe7773 thank you. I realize that, but the others in the family don’t engage with Evie, most likely because she is trying too hard to be included. The other kids from foster should be helping her to adjust. But the others recently adopted came with siblings. Evie has been on her own. I cannot imagine her trauma. I was just pointing out what I viewed. The older kids should rewatch the videos and look at their body language towards Evie and make some changes. Evie deserves the same close bond of siblings like the others, it is sad to watch Evie try to engage with her siblings and they ignore her. That makes things more difficult for Evie to overcome obstacles in life. She is a remarkable, kind and generous person.
@@margaretmacgillicuddy4944comments like yours are ridiculous. You’re a complete stranger who sees no more than a fraction of their life. Stop acting like you know Eve thing that goes on.
@@margaretmacgillicuddy4944I understand what you are saying but you have to remember that we only see a snapshot of their day. We have no idea how they all react off of the camera. It think it would be good to give them all grace at this point.
@@margaretmacgillicuddy4944 i see what you’re saying but you they are all children and will communicate and act as they are. They most likely are not trying to exclude her, but like you mentioned she can have high energy which may not be everyone’s cup of tea ALL of the time. Evie is so sweet, as are all the other kids, and I’m just glad she’s smiling and enjoying her new home.
I am so early let's go I was waiting for this one I get so excited for when you guys post Evie is such a blessing to her family the video was so amazing love watching yall videos been watching yall since the very beginning its so crazy hope Evie had an amazing yes day
My mom used to do this with us. She would just wake up and say let’s go get breakfast and shop. Every year before school we would go up to birch run which has a lot of outlets
Evie is absolutely adorable, and the sweetest little girl, and so very thoughtful. I'm not sure what all she went through before coming to you, but you are both so lucky to have found each other.
I was rather expecting a video of Rylan's birthday celebration than a yes day for Evie. And then realised, that today is the beginning of your family vacation. And you are probably uploading older recordings first. I'm happy Evie and you had a successful yes day. Her reactions and behaviour reminded me somewhat of a very young Alex. Wishing you a relaxing vacation, without anxiety and incidents and new travel experiences. Take good care. And thank you for sharing.
I love how even when you want to spend time with just one of the kids they bring others along or add them to a thought of theirs. A big family with big support.
How was Aaron able to stand by and watch those boys take care Evie and Aurora? That was so cool watching them try to help Aurora on the climb wall and help Evie on the zip line. And oh so very cool of Evie letting that little girl go first.
This was so awesome to see you guys are such amazing parents . I love seeing Evie smiling all day.... Even though I always see her smiling on a daily basis.
Evie is so darn cute! She had the best day. Her eyes matched her smile. Was Tristan cleaning the fridge? That was a lot of stuff on the counter.😂😂😂 I didn't know what KTR was. Then I saw the indoor park. I wish her in my town in Canada we had the cool snacks like you have there. Evie is so happy with her scooter. So much fun in this video.
The sport sandals were cute and practical- I used to have a pair of Merrill’s- they’d were the best- you could go in the water and not have to worry( our beaches in bc could be quite rocky). In Switzerland we have lakes and rivers tap water shoes were handy
Hello crazy pieces thank you so so much for sharing this amazing beautiful video this was the sweetest video seeing Evie face light up just made me smile and so happy thank you for everything you guys do ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think she might have guessed when they were at Walmart and she was slowly naming more things she wanted to get, like she was trying to work out if her mum would keep saying yes 😂
Even though you said you weren't telling her it's a "yes day" I think she heard you guys. She knew you were talking about her and it just seemed like she knew exactly what the day was lol
She is so sweet I wish I could do that for my kids and grandkids, I could just do it with things that dnt cost money great idea Love you guys HERVEY BAY QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA
Thank you for being so loving to your babies also i tried the carnita Pringles they were good did not like the Philly cheese we dont have the flavor that you got
Thats a super good teqnique for elderly ppl who have to move in to retirementhomes too. It makes such a big different. They are also often feeling a loss of control. Every tiny detail you can do exactly as they want are so so importante!!
Im telling you. Something must be in the water because my fiance and I have been getting pringles like every other week! Lol but definitely the chedder sourcream are solid! Right Aaron 😂love you guys ❤
I love this! I love how consciously Evie chose to include others (Trampoline Park). She was even careful and mindful when she thought about her shoes and other stuff without going overboard. I loved all of her choices! I agree with her in the crocsthougb! They aren't the best to wear. And I love the sandals because I don't like the toes in thing either. The sandals were so cute! Thank you for sharing!
It's so nice to see Evie having so much fun. Her very last comment was "I love it here made me tear up. Such a sweet child. Tristan is the ultimate big brother.

When you asked Evie what she wanted to do next and she said “Who me” it melted my heart 🥰🥰🥰
I love the idea of controlled choices.
In addition to Yes Days, consider trying “yes and” when a child’s request is acceptable but not necessarily at the time.

Love this! Will try with my niece and nephew
I was thinking same thing

You mean with Max and Tristan?
@@tourettehero they went separately
in 2 different cars. So they were separate :)
@@drpepperdrinker3 did you watch the video? They may have gone in separate vehicles, but they were together throughout the store.
@@tourettehero yes they saw each other but they went alone to the store!
@@drpepperdrinker3 they were literally with one other on all the clips.
I rarely comment but this was so lovely to see Evie having time alone with Aaron and Crystal. I definitely think she needs this regularly, just her with you. She seems to be flourishing and is so appreciative of things as she is not used to this like others. So happy for her.
Love it that you spent alone time with Evie. She is an awesome addition to your family. Plus it’s so refreshing to have more of Aaron in the videos.
Ms. Evie, Ms. Bella and Ms. Savanna are all truly amazing people. I think all of you kids are great but those three always stand out to me.
who is evie?
@AZPA-dh6fb the new daughter in the video did you watch the video?
@@AZPA-dh6fbCheck the title of the video!
The ones that I watch are alex and luke. I have sons myself so I'm partial to the pettit sons
I think Jake has alot of time for the young ones and is super caring ❤, Melinda, Brisbane Australia
That was so sweet of Evie after trying so many times to get the rope to give it to the little girl. Sweet girl :)
I loved this video and I just can't get over how much Evie has grown in the last 6 months, it blows my mind. Such a sweet girl.

Another great video! Glad that you both did a yes day with just Evie. You two always make sure that each child has that one on one time. ❤

Evie is such a sweet girl. I’m glad she had an awesome day. So awesome to see her smile. Hugs💕💕
I just wanted to hop on and say that I love how Tristan is always there for everyone in the family
Did Evie ever get suspicious? I would have said no when you guys asked for pringles just to see what happens lol 😂
I think she might have guessed when they were at Walmart and she was slowly naming more things she wanted to get, like she was trying to work out if her mum would keep saying yes 😂
Evie is so sweet
I agree with Evie on the sandals I don't like anything between my toes
Those sandals are so cute, pink is my favorite color too
Love this idea
Evie has matured and grown so much since being with you.
💜❤️ I love everything about this!!!
Yay for the new backpack purse for Evie!!! That made me tear up
Evie made great choices wow!👍🥰
she definitely did look so happy !!!
Good morning all happy Tuesday morning and this was amazing video I enjoy your channel and you all amazing happy summer day
Evie picked a great drink. My favorite is Dr Pepper, cream soda, or the strawberries and cream.
I hope you guys enjoy
"it's solid" "no- not the solid kind of one the chocolate" "it's a phrase" "solid like cool" "oh" YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS
Love that Tristan and Max joined her while she was shopping.
Mexican Street corn ones are my favorite! So good!
Good morning you guys are good family
Jamie “8 out of 7” 😂🥰 I love her
Even though you said you weren't telling her it's a "yes day" I think she heard you guys. She knew you were talking about her and it just seemed like she knew exactly what the day was lol
Yes I Absolutely Love This Idea Evie Deserves Everything In The World I Love The Crazy Pieces And Crazy Middles Families
Fabulous parenting advice!
She is so sweet I wish I could do that for my kids and grandkids, I could just do it with things that dnt cost money great idea
Love you guys HERVEY BAY QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA
Thank you for being so loving to your babies also i tried the carnita Pringles they were good did not like the Philly cheese we dont have the flavor that you got
Evie had such a great day. 😊
Yes Halie, loved that you said elote correctly lol 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Oooh, I love pringles 😅
Wish we had the flavours available here that you have there
Been waiting for Evie’s turn 💝
She is such a sweetheart
Aurora’s speech is so much better I’m happy for her.
Thats a super good teqnique for elderly ppl who have to move in to retirementhomes too. It makes such a big different. They are also often feeling a loss of control. Every tiny detail you can do exactly as they want are so so importante!!
💕😀All of them are a blessing.
The way Aaron looks at Crystal when she talks is so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Im telling you. Something must be in the water because my fiance and I have been getting pringles like every other week! Lol but definitely the chedder sourcream are solid! Right Aaron 😂love you guys ❤
I love this! I love how consciously Evie chose to include others (Trampoline Park). She was even careful and mindful when she thought about her shoes and other stuff without going overboard. I loved all of her choices! I agree with her in the crocsthougb! They aren't the best to wear. And I love the sandals because I don't like the toes in thing either. The sandals were so cute!
Thank you for sharing!
Girls trip to American girl doll store would be awesome! And a great experience!
Aurora is talking so good ❤❤❤
Hey Crazy Pieces family how r y'all doin
It's so nice to see Evie having so much fun. Her very last comment was "I love it here made me tear up. Such a sweet child. Tristan is the ultimate big brother.
Childrens Place has cute clothes for sizes 14 to 16. Dresses and lots of cute age appropriate tees and shorts. Love your channel.
Evie sounds so grown up. She has really changed since she first came in the family.
