Jesse Sees The Doctor And Eats Broccoli Cheese Soup!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Jesse, who was born blind in Korea and adopted at age 2, heads to the doctor for a regular appointment with Mom and Dad. In addition to being blind, Jesse is autistic, non-verbal, and has intellectual disabilities. She also does not eat "table food" regularly, other than mountains of Cheerios and her daily prescribed amount of Pediasure, ordered by her nutritionist and doctor, who we are seeing today. We are VERY thankful that Jesse receives her daily sustenance this way and not through a feeding tube.
We have been told by some of our doctor specialists, that there is not an established and reliable "diagnostic test" to identify and diagnose "Autism Spectrum Disorder" in a patient who is both blind and intellectually disabled, as Jesse is. One of the reasons we recorded quite a bit of this video is to document her interactions and behaviors, which are clearly very typical ASD symptoms.

Omg...Just saw this! Thank you!! This recipe is a tad different than the one I found. Is this the real deal? I really appreciate you for doing this! 😊💖💖💖
My pleasure! 🧡 I found the recipe online & made a few alterations. Depending on her taste, you can make it whatever texture she's accustomed to. & by using half & half or evaporated milk, however rich or savory she likes. Hope she likes it. You could also slip some potato, squash, or parsnips in & she'd never know the difference. 👍😉
I have never seen her eat this much!!!!
B Fuji thank you for me, thank you for Jesse.
These parents are true angels. I wish them the best, best lives ever.
Thank you..that is very sweet. 😊💕
Golden tickets to heaven for sure! Not everyone is cut out to adopt let alone adopt 6 children with special needs.
SixBlindKids Jesse has a beautiful singing voice, kind of soothing.
This is a beautiful things to see ..I would love to see Jesse hair combed it's so healthy and it's all over the place. Just And idea to maybe comb and tie it up make it look nice and pretty for her
# tams mac This is not a golden ticket to heaven.
"she and her hair are coming to the doctor." 😂😂😂😂😂
Chy Marie lol
“Minor keys, that’s troublesome”
That’s one insightful and in-tuned father.
at first, I was like "maybe he's reading into that" but then I thought "that makes perfect sense. she communicates through music so it'd make sense that if she's sad she'd sing a sad song."

I know she was distressed but gosh Jesse's singing voice is so beautiful and it's so wonderful that she can communicate through song to you guys and others. She's a wonderful child and you all are such a perfect and beautiful family.
Thank you, Jamara, for such kind words! Jesse does communicate through her beautiful singing voice. She gets music therapy services at school, too. 😊❤❤❤
As I was watching all I can think is Jesse is a composer she is composing her feelings into music she may not be able to speak but she is speaking volumes with her music
I know right, at first I didn’t realize she was jessie and I thought she was just singing out of nowhere cx, I was like so mee. But then I realized that is how she communicates when she is distressed. My little cousin also has autism so I had a feeling she may have had it, your daughter is very cute.
So as you probably noticed lol I'm really fascinated by Jesse's musical abilities (I play a couple instruments and also did some research on savant case studies for a class I took at NYU, children with these talents can provide some amazing insights into the intricacies of the human brain). I would agree that, given her ability to sing in tune and also to switch between keys with no musical training whatsoever, she probably does has some natural absolute or "perfect" pitch ability. Usually when you see someone with this talent they've been able to refine it through a lot of formal training and practice which Jesse doesn't have, but I'll bet she's able to do stuff like pitch-matching (singing back the exact tone of everyday sounds like sirens and doorbells).
There are two things that might make her statistically more predisposed to this than the general population. One, absolute pitch is more common in individuals who are totally blind from birth, usually from an optic nerve disorder; I know Jesse's impairment is the result of hyperoxia secondary to prematurity (ROP) and not an issue with the nerve itself, but since in practice she has never had any functional vision and no light perception or anything, then the correlation is probably valid. And two (and I'm not sure about this one but just thought I'd mention) absolute pitch is more common among people whose first language was highly tonal - for example Cantonese, Vietnamese, Thai, etc. If Jesse had any early exposure to these languages as a young child that would be another strong indicator...I know she is ethnically Korean which is not really a tonal language, but I wasn't sure what her foster background might have been like. Just a thought.
Something else I notice that's also really interesting is that she seems to have a natural vibrato, which usually is something else that has to be formally learned - for example most children don't do that when they're first learning to sing, they just produce the straight tone (like imagine you're just humming a song from the radio or a nursery rhyme, you wouldn't sing "Twinkle Twinkle" with a nice even operatic vibrato unless you were specifically thinking about it lol). I noticed Jesse doing this around 11:01 and was really surprised, I don't think I've ever heard anyone do this without having at least some structured musical or vocal training.
Most people with perfect pitch describe it as being less of a musical talent and more sort of along the lines of a "categorization" ability the way we can immediately unconsciously identify a certain color as being orange or purple or blue without having to hunt for the word, and obviously this relies on the ability to memorize and recall these arbitrary categories. Because Jesse is nonverbal and so she can't verbally identify a reference note like F♯ or B♭ it would be a bit harder to determine for certain whether she has this ability, but I think the evidence is pretty compelling. It's clear her songs follow a musical structure with distinct phrases and sub-phrases that she can repeat consistently and in multiple different keys...it would be soooo interesting for a musicologist to study her repertoire and try to identify any correlations between certain keys and melodic phrases and themes, and things like emotions or other kinds of information she might be trying to convey.
Anyway, sorry for the novel! Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter and her talent with the world! 💕🎵
OMG....SARAH!! We are printing your comment and sending this to every single educator and medical professional working with Jesse. I can't get anyone to understand what you have so eloquently stated!!! THANK YOU!! We have spent countless thousands of dollars on psychologists who haven't taken half the interest you have! I am literally crying with joy right now to think that a perfect stranger cares this much to take an interest in our daughter!!! Please do not ever lose this passion you have!
An even bigger issue than perfect pitch which absolutely, positively MUST be related to the savant tendency is the fact that Jesse has been labeled as ID and never gets credit for the intelligence she does have because these people who know so much just poo-poo the ASD !!!! It is so far beyond frustrating for us. We fight and fight and fight to explain, but burn out gets the better of us.
I guess it takes a fresh, passionate student to help me find my ability to articulate this! This one comment makes it worth the effort to build this channel. We need help with these issues. Casting the wider net has brought you to us. We are grateful!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
jesse’s singing is also her main form of stimming. I notice her sing for stimming purposes alot and depending on what she is experiencing her tempo, key, and choice of song will change in a similar way to if she was stimming by handflapping or lip picking etc. Stimming is a very important form of communication for autistic people, especially nonverbal.I’m not non-verbal (but sometimes selective mute in certain social situations or due to overload) and I have different stims for happy (hand flapping), anxious (pulling and fidgeting with my lips and mouth), increasing anxiety/heading for meltdown (tapping head, biting back of hand - like Jesse), and more. I sing and vocalise alot for stimming to. If its positive stimming I sing melodies, repeating the same phrase over and over, I’ll make up phrases, echo sounds or tunes I hear eg sirens, jingles from adverts etc. If i’m anxious my vocal stims become more glutteral, minor key based, more monotonous or less melodic, faster tempo and sound more distressed. I was non verbal during early childhood and eventually learned to speak but when non verbal i started teaching myself music. I taught myself piano age four. I had a keyboard and heard a tv show theme tune on tv and repeated on my keyboard, my parents realised then that musically something was different for me. I became facinated with music and music was everything for me. I learnt to play lots of instruments myself without any tuition or even basic music lessons at school and none of my close or wider family are musical. I spent all my time in my bedroom singing, and i started singing lessons at 14 but already had a very large reptoire of songs, and an establised natural vibrato. (I didnt know that this wasnt something people naturally have?). I mimic other siingers so was belting out big diva songs despite being tiny and having no correct breathing technique.
Anyway, my point of my comment is to add to the original poster that singing is very probably Jesses main form of communication. She’s telling you she is happy, anxious, struggling to cope with sensory overload, heading for a meltdown, needs help, wants to be left alone and communicating her basic needs with her songs. She’s probably also stimming with her singing for her own purposes to manage her anxiety (autistic people live with constant anxiety and anxiety is the basis of most of our behaviours. Stimming helps us regulate this by blocking out extra sensory infomation, calming our nervous system down, reducing the flight or fight response, and can even help us prevent a meltdown if we arent interupted or other sensory infomation is added on top eg hugging us or touching us or talking to us to try to calm us can often have the opposite effect during a meltdown). It wouldn’t surprise me if Jesse had ASMR response to music and certain tones given how she suddenly stops and freezes and listens so intently to certain sounds and repeats certain notes herself. ASMR has become a bit misrepresented due to its popularity as a relaxation technique online but in reality jot many people have true ASMR responses at neurological level. Its kinda like synethesia where someone may see colours when they hear music, or smell fish when they hear the number five for example. In ASMR certain notes, tones, colours of visual textures create this very intense sensation which starts at the top of the scalp and runs down the scalp, down the soine, down the arms and legs and basically is an intense pleasurable sensation (like when people get good goosebumps when they hear someone sing, someone with ASMR their whole body feels it 1000x stronger but it starts at top of head and waves down the whole body). Its not typically something that makes you feel relaxed and fall aslepp like the asmr trend makes out and peoole using asmr videos to fall sleep to. In true ASMR the person doesnt know they will be trigged and it suddenly happens with a certain note and it is so intense it stops you in your tracks and you will try to repeat hearing that trigger note to expeoremce the sensation over and over. I find Jesse facinating because there are alot of my autistic experiences I see in her so I feel connected to Jesse the most.
My little sister with Autism didn't speak confidently until 4 or 5. She sang herself to sleep though every night and to this day she's in choir and it's her savior. Thank you for all the information. These beauties have endless talents and such an insightful view.
Sarah Riedel ...wow All of this is very interesting, and after reading Jessi's wonderful Mom's comment to YOUR comment I am smiling just thinking about what one comment can do! If the end result is learning more about this subject, both Jessi's Mom and all of the teachers she is sending your comment to you have indeed started a very excellent chain of learning for the future. 🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
SixBlindKids 🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎵
Just how cool was her comment???
Jesse's musical abilities are very impressive. The way she can create beautiful melodies on the the spot and sing them with perfect pitch is something most people cannot do. It is also really cool how she communicates the way she is feeling by her singing. Has she always been able to sing like this? She is truly gifted!
Always....😊 Thank you! 😉💖💖💖
Yes they said she was somewhat savant in that aspect!
I find it absolutely fascinating that she sings at different pitches for her different moods and her vibrato is AMAZING!! She sings just as good as someone who’s been professionally trained in my opinion. And for her to somehow know that the scale was there even though she couldn’t “see” it with her hands must means she understands much more than I’m assuming she’s meant to.....nonetheless she’s absolutely adorable and I love the vlogs.
Thank you, Paige! You nailed it! It is SOOOOOO remarkable!!!! 😄❤❤❤
Great voice!!!
I love how you say to her: "My baby girl." ❤️❤️❤️ how sweet. 💓 I'm amazed she can sing and speak. 😍 She is so adorable girl. Your baby girl.
Awww...thank you! 💖
Right? It melts my heart
The songs that Jesse sings that you have no idea where she got them from, may very well be songs she is composing. Very interesting
Your daughter is adorable
I was thinking the same thing. She may just be taking many different tunes she's heard & making her own. Such an awesome youngblady.
Jesse has a beautiful voice. I hope she'll be able to let herself be heard more. I wonder, does she have a favourite song?
I also wanted to say that I am autistic and it made me happy to recognize certain behavior and to see how you both react to it. It's nice to see understanding parents helping their child. Made my day.
Awww..your comment made OUR day! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! 😊💕💕💕 Jesse doesn't have an absolute favorite song- she just loves ALL music! 😉😊💖
Her eating and loving the soup is such a huge deal :D I was like Yay she loves it.
Awww...it really was!! Thank you for cheering her on! It means so much to us! 😊💖💖💖
@@SixBlindKids do you have a crock pot? I will share you my recipe: Chicken stew soup Let me know yes or no?
It’s so cute when she hangs on to her mom as she walks 😆🥰
Thanks, Tori..she is so funny! It is more like she is pushing me..😉😄💖
SixBlindKids Awe, does she only do that to you or does she ever try it with her siblings and dad?
@@Jailingfhdhd She does this to all of us. Not too sure about school, though..😊💕
When Jesse creates melodies its almost savant like maybe you should have someone write a symphony with them!
Technically, you are exactly correct. We recently had a psychologist say that exact thing to us when we tried to have diagnostic testing done for her Autism. He said she does exhibit certain savant like characteristics, ie. singing. If you notice when she does sing or hum a song, it is on key and she even plugs correct words into the correct spot on occassion, which is pretty remarkable. Unfortunately, it seems nobody has developed a reliable enough test to administer to someone who is blind, intellectually disabled, and autistic. As Jesse's parents, we continue to believe that Autism is her primary disability. (Autism is a spectrum and the various parts of Autism are as well. Savant does not neccessarily mean a person is genius, and Jesse would be low on that particular spectrum as she only has savant like "tendencies"). Thank you for a great comment! 😊💕
SixBlindKids wow! Its just her melodies are so technically advanced i wonder if she has perfect pitch?
SixBlindKids You are a great family!
@@snowm6472 Some have said she does. Her dad and Hannah think so, too...she also goes through very elaborate key changes and will change the original key to suit her own little self! It is amazing to see when she really gets going and of course, we will try to record those moments when we can. 😉💕
@@SixBlindKids
I would let her and all your kids explore a piano. You just might have a musical genius there, and never know it.
I cried it brought back memories of my Autistic son’s first vegetable love. I was baking sweet potatoes for my sweet potato casserole. So after they had cooled I just slipped them right out of their skins and put them on a plate. I reached into the fridge for the cream and butter. My son had just started to toddle. He was a little old but YES! He had these sweet potatoes on the floor on the plate chowing them down. I sat on the floor and cried. He came over to sit on my lap and said” Yum yum Mama have a bite” and shoved one in my mouth. Steps no matter how big or small and no matter the size of the shoes they are all God’s amazing wonder.
I love this, Shawnda! Thank you for sharing! Sweet potatoes are a HUGE deal!! I wonder if I can get Jesse to try some?? 🤔😉😊❤❤❤
@@SixBlindKids maybe apples and cinnamon with a little honey or brown sugar. 🙏
Jesse looks like a porcelain doll it’s amazing
The Lone Paper clip she does oml it's so cute
Jesse has one of the most unique, beautiful, and calming voices I've ever heard in my life! I'm not exaggerating when I say that I could listen to her sing for HOURS! It's so therapeutic! I'm actually a singer myself and I've starting incorporating some of the tunes I heard her singing into my warm ups and I can see the improvement in my voice because of it! Does she by chance like Celine Dion's music? By the sound of her voice, I wouldn't be surprised if she does! (Also, much love to her and your entire family! You all are truly a blessing!)
Wow, Hannah! That is amazing! Thank you for sharing this..I will need to play some Celine Dion and see if she likes her! 😉😄❤🎤🎶
I love jesse and her fluffy hair
It's fluffy, alright! 😉😁💖
clara luz same
I wondered the first time I saw her hair why her parents kept it so long and fluffy. Then in one of the videos I saw her swishing her hair back and forth and back and forth with such a blissful expression on her face.
junbh2 it’s fluffy because of the swishing motion. She has naturally curly hair. If I brushed mine and swished like that, my hair would turn the same way.
@@junbh2
Her hair is part of her personality and who she is.
All the nutrients she eats goes to her fluffy hair😃.
Thank you for the care you give to this girl. God bless your family.
We think the pediadure definitely plays a role! Thank you, Ramona..😊❤
Parents you are awesome. This is called truly love
Thank you for your kind words...😊💖
It's a girl thing I guess. I don't like stepping on the scale either 😂
Haha! You and me, both! 😉😁💖
Haha 👍💞
One likes stepping on the scale I don't ether I don't like seeing how much I weigh in a fatbutt
@@amberlong3397 I hear ya! LOL! 😉💖
Hi Neo I love your channel
my 6 y/o: Awww she’s shaking her hair because she’s happy 🥰🥰🥰
It's cute, I said the same 😍
Your videos really put life in perspective. I watched this and I saw how loving and busy you are mommy. God bless your heart! Wow!
Thank you for your kind words, Neo..😊💖
She has her own language of singing, that’s pretty cool 🎶
Oh my goodness her singing gave me goosebumps.... purest more beautiful and tone-perfect sound. I would love to hear more.
That floofy hair! Tell you what, Jessie. I feel the same way about going to the dr and getting on the scale. I love her singing and that you can hear her get annoyed. Thank God she has this way to communicate.
Agreed, Kelly...we are thankful she is able to communicate- quite effectively, I might add! 😉😄❤❤❤
Jesse is BEYOND gorgeous. Her hair is beautiful. Secondly, her voice is amazing..like I'm very impressed. She sings songs so effortlessly. I'm even more impressed of her pitch, range, and how she uses her songs to communicate. I'm assuming she was stressed at the doctors, but her voice was lovely. I wish I could sing like that. THIS is what you call natural talent.
Thank you! Pretty amazing stuff! Music Therapy works wonders with her! 😊❤🎤🎶
Darling girl. Do you ever get the sense that she has an ancient soul? Like this isn't her first time around? She has some kind of unique depth to her. Thank you for sharing your family with us!
Interesting perspective....there is definitely something very special about Jesse! Thank you! 😊❤❤❤
Omg Jessie actually ate the soup!! I’m so proud of her!!
I love how she uses music to communicate how she feels. Her singing voice is beautiful by the way. This hits me on a personal level too because my cousin has severe autism and is also nonverbal. He is mostly in his own world and loves listening to things on his phone. Every now and then you’d hear him let out a high pitched sound that sounds almost like a cheer and he smiles a lot too. Live concerts are where he is truly happy. I never really speak verbal words with him but I feel like we connect through our love for UA-cam and other phone platforms😊The Corona pandemic hit him and his family especially hard since live concerts were canceled. Nearly violent lash outs were common in the family during that time apparently.😔
Poor kid! I do hope you guys can take in some outdoor concerts now that the pandemic is over. It was very hard on this population in general it seems. Thank you for sharing your story😊❤❤
@@SixBlindKids I think they’re doing better now. They have a Boxer Labrador mix now so maybe they’ll have a support animal now. I know I see an emotional support in my boxer dog and boxers are generally friendly so maybe that will help.
At least the love for music is something both Jesse and Cyrus (my cousin) seem to have in common😘
That hair is perfect for winter time!
IKR...😂😄 Her head will stay warm, for sure! LOL! 💖
All your kids are so sweet and well-mannered. You must be a great parent to them, it really seems like they have a special bond with you that most kids/parents can not achieve. ❤
Awww..thank you for your kind words, Alyssa! So sweet..😊😉💕
Its is what happens in a loving two parent home with a stay at home parent,I really dislike politically correct language :( , a proper home, my mom was a housewife as I was for 15 years and I believe it is the only way to parent and have an optimum resulf.
Maybe low headphones , with classical music will calm her more ! ☺️
Best parents EVER.. Both have the patience of saints 😇⭐️💖 Go Jesse with the soup 🥣 Yayyy
Very sweet...Thank you, RhiAnna! 😊💕
I cried watching her eat the soup. My 13 year old is on the autism spectrum, so I Know the struggle is real!! My son has similar behaviors. I love hearing her sing. Amazing work, Jessie!!!
Seeing Jesse distressed was heartbreaking but these medical checks have to be done.
Wait,,,, she has a really really sweet voice . Aww . Her voice sounds like an instrument.
It is pretty amazing for someone who is non-verbal! Thank you..😊❤❤❤
right it's like I swear I heard what sounded like clarinet
The parents are truly a gift from God 💜 so patient, loving and positive! ...xox
I have a 13 year old daughter that has the same disabilities as Jesse. She only eats hard crunchy foods and they are mainly snack foods and cereals. I give her Pediasure and Carnation Instant Breakfast mix. She loves music and sings and dance. My daughter hums and says words sporadically. I'm so happy to see a family that is so loving and supportive of one another. All of you guys are my heroes.
Awww..sounds like your daughter and Jesse could be great friends! 😉😊❤❤❤
I think they would be great friends. We live in Baltimore, MD and it seems there is no one that we can identify with in the community or even our own family. None of my friends or family have never been exposed to a person let alone a child with special needs. There are many times that I've been criticized for feeding her what she likes to eat which are not typical foods that a child should probably eat every day, but she is very selective and those foods are the only ones she will eat. My daughter does not like her hair being brushed or combed or even touched for that matter. When she was younger it was easy to put her in a high chair and comb and brush her hair, but as she got older and stronger it became very difficult to the point that I cut her hair off because she was starting to rip it from the roots when she would get angry and the hair that existed was becoming matted to her head. I was called lazy because of the choice that I thought was best foe my daughter. I apologize for venting like this, but I have never been able to connect with people who have a similar journey as ours. Thank you💗❤
You are VERY close to us, Andrea! We go through the very same stuff. I think it is partly why we stick with UA-cam. The community here is amazing!! Don't ever apologize for venting. This life can be very lonely as it is naturally isolating. If we told half our stories, people would be shocked. We totally get it! Send me an email. Maybe we can meet halfway sometime once this pandemic settles down. 😉😊❤❤❤ Just let me know here once you do it- we get so many emails!! 😉
Okay. Thanks. I really appreciate it so much.
I'm eternally grateful when I see kids who stim being treated with so much compassion and understanding. I hum and sing when I'm anxious and it makes me smile seeing how much you appreciate her talents and achievements!
I appreciate you guys who understand what she is doing! ❤ You all are getting used to hearing it as much as we are- I was SOOOOO worried about that at first, but We always want to include Jesse in the videos. Goes with the territory....😉😊❤❤❤
@@SixBlindKids
I am glad you include her. She is beautiful and loveable and worthwhile seeing.
She's the prettiest thing
This couple doesn’t have a single mean bone in their body. I’ve watched a lot of their videos sometimes a hint of cruelty, manipulation or negativity pops out when people put their lives on the internet but these parent are completely genuine and just radiate positivity, hard work, & love!. We must protect them at ALL costs!
Thank you Anastasia for your very kind words. We are certainly not perfect by any means, but it makes us happy that your observation is a positive one. Very encouraging...😊❤❤❤
I felt so sad for her to see how stressed she felt, you have such patience, her musical way of communicating her feelings is incredible to watch, she's beautifully unique.
Thank you, Annie..😊❤
Do you think she might be singing a Korean melody that she remembers from when she was very young in Korea?
The way her brain works, it would not surprise me...sometimes I think she speaks some Korean words, too. Her bus attendant is Korean and I am sure he would tell us if he recognized anything. He has known her for many years. I am happy she has someone who speaks the language..😊❤❤❤
It’s amazing how something might be a memory from so long ago. Memory is a neurological wonder.
Jessica Beck Yes! I thought about that too. I hear parts of her melodies that sound like Asian melodies.
SixBlindKids 14:26 I could be wrong, but I believe she said “hi” in Korean. I highly suspect that these are melodies from her childhood. It would be amazing to find and play those original songs for her!
It seriously sounds like it. I hear the ends of some Korean-like words but can’t make out what she’s saying. It’s be interesting if they got a hold of a Korean helper to see if they could communicate!
God bless this child. Help them unravel all her lovely secrets to communication.
Thank you Glenda! Happy Thanksgiving...😊❤❤❤
Sometimes her singing reminds me of the prayers I’ve heard at Jewish temples. Absolutely amazing the melodies she creates
That is so interesting that she sings to communicate.
My goodness. What honorable people! You are absolutely inspiring.
You are very kind, Selena..😊 Thank you. 💖💖💖
I think she may be singing like vocal warm-ups?
And she's legit PERFECT
Jesse is beautiful and so talented gosh I have so much love for a stranger
jesse, sweet girl 💗 the doctor’s office is hardly ever fun. she did so well, though. your patience with her is refreshing. i could only hope to be half the mother you are some day! 💗😢🙏🏻 sending all my love
I love Jesse’s wild hair and I think it looks just perfect the way it is. It’s her own style. 💜
Thank you! We do, too! It is her trademark! LOL!! We think it might be that way because of all the Pediasure...hmmm...😉😄❤
She is closest to real life angel on earth
Yes all special needs kids are. They are free of any sin.
Mom you are the most beautiful lady I've ever seen. You're so strong and patient. God made you better than 99% of all other human beings. Wow
Thank you for your kind words. It is appreciated more than I could possibly say....😊❤
Jesse is such a sweet girl I find her so cute lol she is so pretty !!! god bless her💗🙏🏻💗
1:07 aww his words r so heart warming and kind! u both r such amazing parents and are angels in this world💕💖
Little duckling following her mom. Your channel really makes my heart smile!
Thank you for being self aware of the van handicap ramp spots! I’m in a wheelchair and regular cars will park in the van spots when there’s regular handicap spots open which makes it so I have to park in the back of the lot and risk my ramp getting run over by cars going around corners which has actually happened lol you have such a blessed family!
OMG...Antonia! We are sorry this happens. We will do our best to make others aware as well! 😊💕💕💕
Bro can i please spend just one day with these guys i love them they are positive and funny and good to rely on and they are the best
They remind me of my family in NY. The Hurds. They have also adopted many disabled children from all over the world. Such angels
Jesse and Dad have a beautiful bond, they seem to really connect on another level. How blessed may we all be to experience a loving relationship or two at least once in life. To have parents that love you so dearly and deeply must feel so special. Jesse is a sweet, purely lovely and blessed young lady. 💕 And to communicate so clearly in melodic and musical language is a such a gift.
Sweet Jesse 🥰 you can tell she loves her daddy! (And mom of course!)
This is the only UA-cam channel that I can sit and rewatch episodes over and over again. It's so fun and interesting, and the love in this family is so amazing.
I adore both these parents so much. The bond they both have with her is incredible. Dad has a serously special bond with her and I also think he has a sweet spot for Jesse. I just see an incredible bond . It's beautiful. Then the mom ! She's amazing too ! How Jesse grabs on and walks behind her ! Fills my heart with joy❤️
i’m so blown away by her singing ability, it is so cool how she is able to communicate through music, and being able to sense the acoustics too, is the coolest thing ever
3:35 after dad asked her "did you say cold?", she very softly, almost inaudibly, affirmed "nh hnh" 💗
Every time Jesse gets to swinging that gorgeous hair all that comes to mind are those clips of models swinging their hair around in slow motion with some dramatic music playing in the background 😂😆 Love it 😊
As a mom of an autistic child with sensory issues you take any win you can get when it comes to food with textures and feels etc.. Very proud of you Jesse. Keep up the great work. You both are awesome parents.
Thank you so much, Bridgette!! Baby steps add up to big accomplishments! 😊❤
@@SixBlindKids yes they do an always celebrate the small accomplishments and praise
I’m so happy to of found your channel. I saw an interview with your family and children. I am home six months from China with our blind adopted daughter, who is the light of our home. She is 4 years old and we are truly blessed. You are wonderful amazing parents. God Bless you both and all of those beautiful children. 💞
Congratulations!! We are happy you found us, too! Our son, David, was adopted from China. He is 19 now. Feel free to reach out anytime if we can help you. Our about page has our website which has a way to contact us. God Bless your family! 😄💖💖💖
I really don’t know what it is about Jesse...but watching her, hearing those songs she sings, and even as she nods her head, it’s very calming to me. And Mom’s voice is also calming, as in she hardly ever raises her voice, she’s patient, and kind, idk y’all are a glorious family and I enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing the adventures with us! ❤️❤️
These people are the most beautiful people in the world i love them and there kids and i never met them b4 i hope they live forever blessings
It's so amazing! Some of her coping mechanisms(singing, swinging her head, grinding her teeth, biting her hand) remind me so much of my sister!
Sweet Jesse! It gets easier over time.
My sissy used to HATE going to the doctor, but I guess she's mellowed out after 36 years ☺️ she sings all the time too and it blesses so many people!
Her hair is amazing. I wish i had half her hair. I love how you let her be her and sing etc and not stress her out more by stoping her etc. Id love to hear her singing before my apt at a doctor it would make me smile.
Also she knows scales are evil already lol. Poor girl i feel for her.
Haha! Thank you, Tara! Sweet comment..those EVIL scales! 😂🤣😉😄💕
I've honestly never seen somebody vocalize their words like that wowwww
Because I could clearly hear go of course, but also I don't wanna. She is a unique young lady , very cool how she expresses herself
I would hear a full album of Jesse singing.
It's so satisfying and relaxing.
She do it so well, I really love her.
She got a beautiful hair.
As an aspie, I feel really good while seeing other autistic people who has awesome patient parents, that encourage them to be themselves, and do what their love (like you do with her form of communication, by singing, and helping her to distress through the day).
I really appreciate the opportunity of seeing you, this family, sharing part of your days with us.
Hi Nick!! We are so glad you are here, too! We LOVE Aspies! 😊😉❤❤❤
@@SixBlindKids thanks : ).
the dad is such a good dad to his children😭💗👍 he is so kind to Jesse when he was feeding her aww!!💗💗💗 u guys r such good parents it’s so unbelievable 😇
The ENTIRE family is so CUTE AND SWEET. The parents and siblings I wish that I had.
She takes so much comfort from her gorgeous hair.
Sorry, I am late but Jesse's voice is so beautiful. Her singing and humming is so pleasing.
Jesse sings beautifully!
When I was a kid I made sounds and swung my head. I liked the way the sounds changed. It's common with autism. Although I showed many signs of autism since age three I wasn't diagnosed til I was in my twenties. I am moderate on the spectrum. At times of stress I am more severe while less stress I am more mild. When I write people don't tell I have a hard time communicating because writing is easier than talking. I relate to Abbi when she has a hard time getting words out. It's even harder when people don't understand that it's hard to talk sometime. I love how patient you all are with the kids. It makes it so much easier when there's patience.

I Don’t want To Stay 13:00 and The Convo With Mom Was Just Adorable. Jessie is Answering. I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ I Know I Dont Think So. She’s doing so Good 😊
My great niece has autism and she sits and sings alot also says go..I love jesse xxx
Awww....big hugs next time you see her, please! 😄❤❤❤
@@SixBlindKids I will do thank you. Big hugs to you and all your family..also my niece only ate sausage rolls and beans for 12 years now she's eating more different foods..it's amazing to sit and watch her changing..god bless your family xxxx
@@lilmidnight11 Thank you, Lyn! That is very encouraging! Good for her!!!! Yay! 😄❤
Jesse is so amazing, the way she changes how she sings to express how she's feeling. She's a true songbird
I love how the both of you interact with her. That's awesome how she ate that soup.
So was she ultimately weighed in the wheelchair? It seems like that's how it went.
Thank you. 😊 Yes, she was weighed in the wheelchair. I think we had some technical difficulty with filming that part! Lol! They wheel the chair onto a big scale then subtract the weight of the chair. Next time we will do that first..😉😁💕
Hi Joe and Karen,i wonder if you ever worry about the welfare of the kids after you are both in your older years.Your a beautiful family and a place in my heart and i know you teach many life skills.
Hi John! Yes. This is my biggest worry in life. The skills we are teaching will still not enable most of them to live alone. They will always need some kind of supervision and Abi, Jesse, and Obed require live in care. I know they are God's kids and He brought them to us in the first place. I know that. Still...mama's heart...you know?? All we can do is all we can do. I hope they can stay together above all else. We do have a video called "What happens when we die?" where we discuss this a little more. Thank you for caring about us. I am enjoying all your comments. 😊❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your reply,its a delicate question to ask but your children have been given a fantastic life and have only recently subscribed, but the videos i watch i see so much progress and see so much love.You are both excellent parents and fine examples of how families should be and i send you's all my best wishes from here in the UK.
I’ve never heard her sing! She sings beautifully! 💓
Thank you Angela! 😊 When Jesse gets going, she can really sing, but she is hard to catch! I have recently realized that the ding on my camera makes her stop and listen to me. I need to find a way to turn that off so you guys can hear more! It is quite remarkable! 😉😊💕🎤🎶
Lol that tune is gonna be on my mind all day! I think jesse is a composer I think maybe somehow that's how she is expressing herself I absolutely love it I could listen to her harmonize all day long
I don't have the Uno recipe. But, I use Deer Creek soup mixture which I buy in grocery store . I just add shredded mild cheddar cheese and additional broccoli florets or when I feel lazy I buy raw broccoli slaw mix ( shredded carrots included.) It's done in minutes!!! I always get lots of complements too! Plus Deer Creek has other soup flavors.
Happy cooking!
Thanks for the tip! 😉👍❤
New subscriber here ❤️
I respect you guys so much. I too have a son on the autism spectrum and it was definitely a challenge.. and still is. I pray the best life has to offer for your family. Bless your hearts! The love and patience you have for your kids... AMAZING. You guys are beautiful people inside out. ❤️
Welcome to the family, new friend!!! 😉❤❤❤
That is so awesome she ate the soup, it is such a great thing when you find something she likes and now you can continue to let her eat it as much as she wants.. amazing how many triggers they have, and all the kids have different ones. But you guys have so much love and patience and you guys work with each and every one of them individually and they are making such awesome progress. I know this is last year video, and to see her now it is so awesome.. I love you guys so much.. Praying for you all.. God bless you all.
Thank you, Bobbi! It is not quite a year old- this was done during school this year. Our 1 year on UA-cam is coming up in July!! Too much fun! 😉😄❤ Also..I have tried making it for her, but she only likes Panera or Uno! Stinker! 😂
If only God could have put more good people like you guys then this world could have been a better place
Awww I could see how happy you guys were that Jessie had her soup, it was so touching to see. You guys are the best parents, your love is beautiful xxx
Thank you for such kind words..😊 That is very sweet..💕💕💕
She hits her notes better than me....her singing is so wonderful 💖
Jesse is so very lucky to have you both. I can see how loved she is, and well taken care of. I have very thick bushy hair like her, can I recommend you ask her hairdresser to add some shorter layers all around. The layering will take away some of the puff!! BLESS YOU ALL!!
Thank you!! We are pretty lucky to have her, too! Check out her fabulous hair video..I think you might like it! 😉😊❤💇♀️
The love, patience & dedication to your children is to be admired. May God bless you and your family.
I believe the songs that Jesse was singing that were unfamiliar to you may have been Korean songs Jesse may have heard before she was adopted, and remembered them, as I could hear some Korean words when she was singing a few times. She a great singer, and her vibrato is beautiful! Much love to Jesse and your family! ❤❤❤
Wouldn't surprise us a bit!!! Thank you! 😊🎤🎶🎵
God bless Jessie and all of you the patience in the love you give is so real need more people in this world just like you two
WOW! she sings amazingly, We all love your whole family. And wish nothing but positive vibes! I hope everyone has a wonderful day in your family and to who ever sees this.
What if you practice weighing her at home? And she gets a reward she really likes when she does it? Could you transfer that to the doctors office?
tams mac yeah some de-sensitisation work could be incredibly valuable. I saw in another video Jesse (and her hair) sits in a wheelchair, wondering if the doctors have accessible scales or seated scales available? I expect this is something they have already checked out though, they seem SUPER organised and aware.
You,s have brought young Jesse a long way,love that kid.Your patience in your learning is shining through.What a beautiful family you 's have .Best wishes to my favourite US family from the UK.
I’ve been watching your videos all day today. My goodness, I’m addicted. Jesse is such a precious angel and it amazes me to see people who are around the same age as me and are so talented. She has such a spectacular singing voice! ❤️🥰
I was literally on the edge of my seat waiting to see her response to the soup. When she said "yummy" and took another bite, I was like YAY JESSE!!!! What a great moment/milestone! I bet if you talked to the owner and told them what was going on, they'd probably give you the recipe
Did We miss her saying Yummy?! Omg..I need to watch again! She will, on occassion, say a word in context. She did say cold going into docs office, but it is impossible to hear on the video. You have to trust us on that one! 😉😂🤣 I did find a mock recipe online. I'm going to try it today (hopefully) to see if she will eat it. If not, I doubt it will go to waste! Haha! You are spot on about her singing..pretty amazing stuff imo..💖💖💖
@@SixBlindKids The "yummy" sound to me was right after your husband said it, around 50 seconds, and then again around a minute. Maybe it was just her singing or making sounds, but that's what I took it as :P
I did catch her saying certain words while at the doctors office...especially "go" haha she was ready to leave lol. She is such a precious little girl and she def knows how loved she is
@@danihealy-fictionauthor6847 Thank you, Dani! I think you are right! Good ear! I'll see how our attempt at the soup goes. I like your plan B, tho! 😄💕
@@SixBlindKids I look forward to hearing the outcome of the soup! And save me a bowl please, I'll be there later to eat dinner with you guys :P lol
