So I really want to give you guys props for taking Abbie to Target with two people. I was in Costco today because I had to be and there was this mom who was struggling with her daughter and I walked over and started interacting with this little girl because her mom was crying. I asked permission first and after we walked about the store and listen to music till her mom finished shopping her mom told me she had autism and she could not find a sitter. She asked me why I did not look away or say things under my breath like most people do and I told her about my brother but I also brought up your channel and she started crying more. Apparently you have met her and she was surprised that you guys touched my heart so much to help a parent who was in need of help. I never knew she had autism but seeing how people react to you guys in public made me realize you don't know what's going on in that house and if you spread joy and love around it comes around. Thank you so much for inspiring me and teaching me to do right by others not by myself. Best life lesson and I just learned it at the age of 22
You’re nicer than the lady that walked up to my daughter who was having a tantrum for a candy bar. She told my little girl that she was bad and I needed to take her home and discipline her. She kept saying kids now a days control the parents. I finally said lady my daughter doesn’t control me. If she did I would have bought the candy. She was like I’m trying to help you. Umm how? By pointing out how horrible of a mom I am and how bad my daughter is. I said my daughter is not bad she is learning.
Abbie is sooooooo cute!! When she kept taking the purse off until Mom told her she was a big girl and instantly Abbie put the purse back on because she understood! Her sweet smiles honestly make my day
@@noneyodavis7590 She is cute. There are people who look and/or act cute no matter how old they are, even some who are well into adulthood. Also quite a few viewers of this channel seem to have experience as babysitters, teachers, teacher's aids, etc. and I believe it's quite common for people who work with children/young teens to find their mannerisms "cute". It's not demeaning to call someone cute.
@@noneyodavis7590 the word cute is not only for little kids. :0 edit: Even some adults call each other cute and like to be called cute. And some don't like it. Let people do what they want ^_^
nicole davis her parents say “she’s so cute” ALL the time!! So what’s the big deal? When someone does something cute, we say “you’re so cute” regardless of what age.
@@noneyodavis7590 when someone's being a cheeky little monkey or do something adorable or innocent they get called cute no matter the age. Adults, teen, seniors, children, everyone.
I LOVED that Abbie looked at her Mom square in the eyes and responded so clearly to "We have to do this. You're a big girl now so you have to act like a big girl." She is really advancing. It's so noticeable when you watch the older videos.
I was waiting on this video to come out. This is my target that a work at. I was there that day and heard a Abby stem. I was so excited. I said hi from a distance. You guys made my week.
Can we just appreciate Abbies smile and how it literally makes you smile. And of course Isiah and his handsome self!!! Amazing kids you and Cilla have raised.
Love the stereo mic... It was really neat to hear Abbie and feel like she was walking around behind me while you were talking. It felt so real that I wanted to turn and look for her!
I had such a proud mom moment with the purse. My daughter has SPD and she commented she wouldn't like that plastic stuff on the strap either😆 Oh Abbie you are going to do great! 💕
Oh my goodness! That was seriously the sweetest trip I’ve seen. She wore her purse and everything! This makes me so excited to see how her shopping trip goes! Please keep us updated!
8:57 abby looked so happy when asa mentioned snacks! Also abby's face when asa said that she couldn't raid her lunch before school! This video in particular made my day! Ilysm!
I have to give to affirmations to Isaiah! You guys have raised an extraordinary young man! Even in the earlier videos, his maturity and respect for you guys is a beautiful thing to watch!! And the way he interacts with abbey 😍😍😍 way to go mom and dad! You are awesome Isaiah!!!
Asa: yep you're a big girl but I still love it when you reach out and hold my hand. Abbie's such a daddy's girl and I love it. Melts my heart when she hugs and smiles at you. Especially when she wants something lol
If Abby doesn't warm your heart and make you smile.....you are not human she is without a doubt a very special young lady. Not because of her autism but in spite of it. I just love watching your family dynamics. "Special".
Great video. I have seen the progress of Abigail. So amazing how much she has learned. Thank you for allowing us to be on this journey. Love being a member. Love from Indiana!
Abbie's smile and laugh as she paid for her items was so gorgeous. I don't think I have ever seen her so excited. And yes Asa butterflies as amazing. I love going into butterfly houses and having them land on you. It is an amazing feeling
This house is soooo old school. The set up is all about being around the family. Kitchen over looking living room, bedrooms all together, nice dining area and the entire house has flow.... all rooms lead easily into others, makes it feel open. The outside guest/pool rooms off the covered patio area. The pool can be seen from many rooms....and the trees, flower trees and bushes between the house and wall is very simple and beautiful.
Pertaining to Abbie's debit card.... Do Not get a green dot card!! They are the worst. I work for Dollar General and I have SSSOOOO many issues with those cards! I would recommend a my vanilla card or the American express card. The only hold up with AE is that not as many places accept it. But seriously don't get Green Dot! ❤ y'all!
Ohhhhhh!!!!! I loved the Target segment!! I had the biggest smile. Asa, I think your idea and your project is amazing. I'm not certain what you're looking for but would love to help out if you need me!
I love this video and how you took her shopping at Target. She was so happy to pay and get her purchase. You guys are super great and dedicated parents. And Abbie I just love you and who you are.
You should get Abby a cash app card you download the app and then they send a card for free. I love when she jams out to music it’s so cute and you can tell she’s so happy
My son earned his own money last weekend hauling brush for the neighbor. He earned a dollar per load!! I got so tickled watching him carefully going over what he was going to spend it on.....but then he crammed it in the back of his underwear drawer with the rest of his money he refuses to spend 😂
Emily Hale I was like that’s as a kid! I never spent any money I got from Christmas or birthdays it got to the point my parents would ask to borrow money off of me 😂😂 It’s funny thinking about it now because they were essentially asking me for their money back 😂
I like that even tho you can tell she can never be truly fully independent. Your giving her the chance to be at least somewhat independent. Like. Youll allowing her to do what she can! Its so amazing to watch this! How you talk to her anf understand! I love it!
I’ve been a subscriber for a few months and it has become my daily routine now to watch your vlog every night before bed. I don’t have autism in my family but we have plenty of other issues including Alzheimer’s. It is somehow reassuring to me to see how a family copes, you guys are inspiring and give me hope that any and all struggles can be managed with love, hope and determination. I have no idea if you ever get through all the comments you get on all your posts but thought I would put a note of thanks out there from a big supporter. Love to Abbie and all of you.
Wow Abbie was such a teenager today. The smirk in the morning about being up, and excited about her new purse , rocking out with her brother.. fighting with her brother.. it’s so cool to see how much she was is processing just from when I started watching.. also amazing editing today especially the butterfly Asa!
I love the butterfly shot. Beautiful! I always stop to watch them fly and land on flowers in my front flower beds to eat. Thank you for sharing. There is beauty everywhere we look.
Laughing my buns off! A: should we tell him she's loud today? P: he'll figure it out!!!! Lol. Love Abbie's energy ❤️ interesting to realize sounds with sensory issues. I never thought of that.
I have been binge watching your videos for so long now that I am dreaming about Abby!!!! I wanted to say thank so much for being open to sharing your life with us. Not only does it bring so much joy but it also provides incredible insight into the wonderful world of Autism as well as it's struggles. Also Abby's smile is infectious
Aww great choice in ur purse Abbie, crossbody is the way to go, can hold more stuff like candy n clothes, n green great fall color. Abbie is so excited to be with her brother, Isiah ur an great brother.
You are such a great family, such awesome parents. I miss my parents alot... they overdosed last year a week before my 20th birthday.. So watching your guys family makes me so happy... Makes me feel like a part of a family !🍁 Love from canada 🍁
That cheeky smile at the beginning had already just made the ending of my day so much better. I love sitting in bed waiting for my kids to fall asleep and watching the vlogs.
I love that idea of doing a video like that I may have autism myself so think it's great to let people see what we experience and how frightening and hard it can be
I was just looking though Walmart Christmas and they have a lot of the outfits that Abbie sleeps in ! I seen you on a video that they are hard to find ! So many cute ones too !! Just thought I let you know !!
How precious is this video of a brother and his sister spending quality time together. You guys have raised an awesome son who is remarkable with his special needs sister. Tell “The King” he wears his “brother” crown so well. What a Blessing! Abby looks beautiful, and I am so proud of her as she continues to learn new things. Daphne, Alabama loves you guys..
My heart just melted while Abbie was picking out her purse. Could tell she wasn't about it at all, but then to see her process she needed to do it as Cilla was explaining to her was SOOOOO cool! Then she just put it on and wore it! so excited for all they (and y'all) are teaching her to do thru school! So proud of her! Also: butterfly montage was perfection!
Abbie is so pretty. I loved the intro-her smile can brighten my worst day. I look forward to your videos. My nephew has a developmental delay. Watching your videos has shown me patience, empathy, and compassion more than I ever thought I had. Your family makes me feel like I’m part of your family. Thank you for giving me a glimpse of your life and letting me be a friend of Abbies’. ❤️
When you're wearing the headphones, I can hear the difference on my phone. Like when Isaiah walked around you, the audio sounded like it was switching sides on my phone. Maybe it's the phone (Samsung Galaxy S10) sounds awesome!
I was literally just thinking about how being an online college student gives me too much freedom to procrastinate. I’m procrastinating reading my textbook by watching your videos. And then you talked about how working from home requires boundaries. I feel attacked 😂
I really enjoy how happy and enthusiastic Abbie gets when listening to music. Asa, I agree with you butterflies are so beautiful. Thank you for the 🦋montage at the end of your vlog.

She seems so happy about the purse! (After you got the crinkly plastic off)
Yeh I could kinda tell she didn't like the plastic 🤔🤔
I LOVED that Abbie looked at her Mom square in the eyes and responded so clearly to "We have to do this. You're a big girl now so you have to act like a big girl." She is really advancing. It's so noticeable when you watch the older videos.
She is such a “typical” teen! It’s hilarious! The way she yawned and then put the glasses on just to appease Priscilla cracked me up.
Seeing how happy Abbie was to get in the car and go cruising with her brother made my day.
Her evil little giggle at the beginning owned me! Such a ham! 😍😍😍
I was waiting on this video to come out. This is my target that a work at. I was there that day and heard a Abby stem. I was so excited. I said hi from a distance. You guys made my week.
Awesome
Abby is doing so well I am proud of her progress
I love how Abby reacts to music. She's so into it.
Anyone else pause, grab headphones, rewind and then experience it? Pretty awesome. Hearing Abbie stomp around, it was really really cool.
I was wondering what on earth Isaiah was going on about until I put on headphones 😂😂
Yes, it was amazing!
The amount of cuteness in this video!!!!!
Abbie has the sweetest smile. She loves her mom and dad.
That girl is so smart. She sure does love Isaiah. And vice versa
Rose Ann Gable looks l
She's beautiful when she smiles in front of the camera!!
That Mischievous smile & laugh♡ Love that sweet girl!!
abbie jamming to hip hop is always my FAVOURITE
She seems to be making so much progress with communication and it's awesome. As always, you're all awesome
Her smile is so beautiful and contagious everytime she smile I find myself smiling
Can we just appreciate Abbies smile and how it literally makes you smile. And of course Isiah and his handsome self!!! Amazing kids you and Cilla have raised.
Love the stereo mic... It was really neat to hear Abbie and feel like she was walking around behind me while you were talking. It felt so real that I wanted to turn and look for her!
When she smiles, those dimples!! And you guys are amazing parents!!
Abby is so happy when she buys her purse it makes me thrilled for her
I had such a proud mom moment with the purse. My daughter has SPD and she commented she wouldn't like that plastic stuff on the strap either😆
Oh Abbie you are going to do great! 💕
Oh my goodness! That was seriously the sweetest trip I’ve seen. She wore her purse and everything! This makes me so excited to see how her shopping trip goes! Please keep us updated!

She is too cute!! She was so excited about her new purse & wallet! 😊💙
I loved the sound effect. It sounded as if Abby was in my livingroom. Awesome!
I swear I love this channel so much! You guys care for Abbie so well! Keep it up!
Isaiah is such a wonderful young man, he is going to grow up to be the most amazing person!
I just love your family! You are raising 2 amazing kids and I think you guys are such an inspiration! Love from Ohio!
Isaiah is the best! She literally loves her big brother so much! It's so sweet to see them together!
Great video. I have seen the progress of Abigail. So amazing how much she has learned. Thank you for allowing us to be on this journey. Love being a member. Love from Indiana!
Abbie's smile and laugh as she paid for her items was so gorgeous. I don't think I have ever seen her so excited. And yes Asa butterflies as amazing. I love going into butterfly houses and having them land on you. It is an amazing feeling
I can hear the difference without headphones. It’s awesome.
Abbys face was priceless, when she walked out of the store with her new purse! Love your fam 💜
She’s so pretty 🥺
Abbie wearing that purse, yawning, and trying to put those sunglasses on is such a mood. I’m so proud of that sweet little lady!
Abbie putting the sunnies on in Target. Oh my heart!! Love you guys so much 😘😘😘

I have sensory issues and am going to school for video and audio editing. I'd love to help if I can.
She is just such a beautiful young lady I swear it’s like I’m a part of the family awesome seeing you all and her grow
Pertaining to Abbie's debit card.... Do Not get a green dot card!! They are the worst. I work for Dollar General and I have SSSOOOO many issues with those cards!

We got her Greenlight, not Green Dot
FatheringAutism how do you like the Greenlight card? I’m thinking about getting my 9 year old one so I can load his allowance on there.
Jennifer Courtwright We don’t have it yet. The app is pretty easy to use. We will let you know how it goes.
You can see how much she loves her brother it shows in her face bless.
Ohhhhhh!!!!! I loved the Target segment!! I had the biggest smile.
Asa, I think your idea and your project is amazing. I'm not certain what you're looking for but would love to help out if you need me!

PayPal has a card like this also!
Driving home with Isiah was the happiest that I have ever seen little Ms. Abbie! I loved watching her rock out!
My son earned his own money last weekend hauling brush for the neighbor. He earned a dollar per load!! I got so tickled watching him carefully going over what he was going to spend it on.....but then he crammed it in the back of his underwear drawer with the rest of his money he refuses to spend 😂

Like. Youll allowing her to do what she can! Its so amazing to watch this! How you talk to her anf understand! I love it!
I think Abbie wants a dance party in the living room with Isaiah !!
You can see how much she loves her big brother in the way she looks at him.. what an awesome bond to have
Butterflies appear when loved ones are near. Xoxox
My mother that has passed away visits me through butterflies 💜💚💜

That's the first time I've seen Abbie put on glasses without being prompted!
Laura Beth me too!
She did it in a video where they were showing gifts they received. _That's_ when I said the same exact comment, haha.
Wow Abbie was such a teenager today.

Love the new headphone things! I only listen to the vlog with headphones, love the idea.
You just see she’s a cheeky one by the sparkle in her eyes. Abbie brightens up my day every time i watch! Awesome family ❤️
Laughing my buns off! A: should we tell him she's loud today? P: he'll figure it out!!!! Lol. Love Abbie's energy ❤️ interesting to realize sounds with sensory issues. I never thought of that.

Also Abby's smile is infectious
Abbie: puts up the sign for bathroom
Dad: "then go to the bathroom?!"
Love seeing Abbie's personality shining through. You can see the smirks, the laughter, the silliness, everything!!
When Abby was stomping around I looked “toward the sound” it was trippy.
I love the mischievous eyes with her beautiful smile!! My favorite part of your videos! Well, and Cillas laugh!
Abby dancing to the rap music is the funniest & cutest thing ever 😂
Abbie is blessed to have such great parents and brother ! Love you , pretty girl ! 😘
Aww great choice in ur purse Abbie, crossbody is the way to go, can hold more stuff like candy n clothes, n green great fall color.
Abbie is so excited to be with her brother, Isiah ur an great brother.
Its also harder to lose or leave some where and harder for someone to steal from your bag! I love cross body bags.
@@jessicamcwilliams3346 agree luv crossbody for any age.
I agree, crossbody is my favorite!
I love seeing Abbie so happy ❤ Her communication really is getting more pronounced, so amazing!
That smile that Abby has in the beginning of the video.
You are such a great family, such awesome parents. I miss my parents alot... they overdosed last year a week before my 20th birthday.. So watching your guys family makes me so happy... Makes me feel like a part of a family !🍁 Love from canada 🍁
I can hear the effect on my iPad without the headphones. Love the vlog.
That cheeky smile at the beginning had already just made the ending of my day so much better. I love sitting in bed waiting for my kids to fall asleep and watching the vlogs.
Oh my gosh I LOOOOVVVVEEEE the brother and autism time so cute and fun!
Really appreciate this channel and how open your family is. Continuing to send you guys blessings
She has the purest smile I have ever seen 💖💖
Abbie has the most BEAUTIFUL smile!!!
Just randomly wore headphones for this video, cam anyone else here/feel abby walk?
Yes and it scared me so much the first time I heard the stomping. 😂
I love that idea of doing a video like that I may have autism myself so think it's great to let people see what we experience and how frightening and hard it can be
I was just looking though Walmart Christmas and they have a lot of the outfits that Abbie sleeps in ! I seen you on a video that they are hard to find ! So many cute ones too !! Just thought I let you know !!
I love how you guys always emphasize Abbie’s beautiful and sassy personality. She’s a total queen and she knows it 👸🏻
Cilla, I want a present!!! LOL I adore ur whole family!! ♥️ U guys always can put a smile on my face!! ♥️♥️, Love from Idaho!
How precious is this video of a brother and his sister spending quality time together. You guys have raised an awesome son who is remarkable with his special needs sister. Tell “The King” he wears his “brother” crown so well. What a Blessing! Abby looks beautiful, and I am so proud of her as she continues to learn new things. Daphne, Alabama loves you guys..
That butterfly footage A+ NatGeo approved.
Beautiful daughter beautiful mom beautiful dad wish all of you in happiness😄
Asa: You can’t raid hour lunch before school.
Abbie: Uhh yes I can daddy. 😂
My heart just melted while Abbie was picking out her purse. Could tell she wasn't about it at all, but then to see her process she needed to do it as Cilla was explaining to her was SOOOOO cool! Then she just put it on and wore it! so excited for all they (and y'all) are teaching her to do thru school! So proud of her! Also: butterfly montage was perfection!
Was that "after the beep" butterfly wing flap a foley effect from your own mouth?!? So cool.
Lol, no it was actually dragon wings foley...but still probably came from someone's mouth.
Abbie is so pretty. I loved the intro-her smile can brighten my worst day. I look forward to your videos. My nephew has a developmental delay. Watching your videos has shown me patience, empathy, and compassion more than I ever thought I had. Your family makes me feel like I’m part of your family. Thank you for giving me a glimpse of your life and letting me be a friend of Abbies’. ❤️
"I'm doing cool things, hopefully!" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Abbie loves her brother so much! I love watching her dancing in his car. They have so much fun together. Isiah is the best big brother.
When you're wearing the headphones, I can hear the difference on my phone. Like when Isaiah walked around you, the audio sounded like it was switching sides on my phone. Maybe it's the phone (Samsung Galaxy S10) sounds awesome!
I was FREAKING OUT when the stomping started. Looking behind me and around the corner. It’s so immersive. Please wear them all the time!
I was literally just thinking about how being an online college student gives me too much freedom to procrastinate. I’m procrastinating reading my textbook by watching your videos. And then you talked about how working from home requires boundaries. I feel attacked 😂
I really enjoy how happy and enthusiastic Abbie gets when listening to music. Asa, I agree with you butterflies are so beautiful. Thank you for the 🦋montage at the end of your vlog.
