[@whit3tyygerlubr]

I’m so proud of how far Enzo has come with therapy but most importantly of you for your loving kindness towards him and patience. You need to give urself more grace because you are doing the best you can and you’re proactive with him at home. Ur so sweet and thoughtful for giving him the iPad just so we don’t hear him scream. Girl he’s a toddler everyone of your real followers are understanding. Even when h take breaks from KZbin we get it 🥰🫶🏽god bless u and ur fam Aja!❤

[@TashaLei22]

I don’t know if you’ll read this comment but I wanted to share that my son was nonverbal until 4 years old. He’s now 6 and is a chatter box. He’s also now considered pretty advanced. I also went through many different evaluations etc with him. It was incredibly overwhelming. You are amazing to be sharing Enzo’s story. It’s helpful for mothers to see that they aren’t alone. You are a strong Mama!

[@Ren-jf2zn]

I cried with you mama… My son is nonverbal and I get so overwhelmed as well! Give yourself grace Aja! You’re doing everything you can! Enzo is so lucky to have you!!!!! ❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@learnplaylove326]

A really good childcare center about twice a week for a few hours works as well. Kids communicate with other children and they learn from each other so fast ❤️

[@lifewithlova]

You are human babe you are allowed to feel overwhelmed with your kids, forget what ppl think. Keep doing what you’re doing. Enzo is so smart and he will keep getting better 🫶🏾

[@Jadae.annmarie]

Aww Aja you’re a great mom who always puts her kids first and as a viewer we can see that! ❤

[@yaniqueg90]

Sis you are doing such a great job with Enzo and being patient with his development. My nephew is 3 years old and was diagnosed with autism. He’s nonverbal and I’ve been struggling with the idea of him not fully understanding who I am. But seeing Enzo’s progress with speech therapy gives me hope and you have definitely shown me how to be more understanding and supportive of his journey. Loved the vlog per usual. Already hype for next weeks video 🤍

[@stephaniedenise9207]

The internet aunties are very proud of Enzo and you, you’re doing great mama! Keep it up. Once Enzo is more verbal chile he won’t be quiet lol rooting for you Enzo !!

[@sryleetv]

Aja- My little brother was in the same boat as Enzo 21 years ago and next year he will be graduating from USC. My mom just like you realized that he wasn’t speaking a bit younger than normal and took the time and resources like you to HELP the situation. I will stand with you and just know that YOU are doing a great job. I know it is hard and you think the opposite of what if.. but he is healed and in 20 years you will be acknowledging his accomplishments to the world. 😊😊

[@simplysiham]

You are so strong mama! Thank you for being so vulnerable, I know how hard it could be! I'm so proud of neph Zo, he's doing amazing! 💛

[@IAMKELLIECAMILLE]

You got this Enz!!!!💙✨✨ So proud of you Aja!💕

[@arlenecastillo6265]

Keep pushing mama, every child progresses at a different pace. As long as you continue supporting his needs you will see much improvement in the long run. Another great vlog 🥰

[@reinepoaty6747]

Aww Aja girl 😢 you’re doing your best. You’ll be fine, Enzo will be fine. Things will work themselves out. I’ll say a prayer for you and your babies. Just keep what you’re doing ❤

[@keishaw3825]

Aja, you are doing a great job as a mom, especially with Enzo and his therapy. I wanted to say it, but you said it...Enzo and his progress is because of you. Thank you for sharing his journey with us ❤

[@Trinidad728]

I am going through literally the exact situation with my son. He’s 3 years old too. I feel you with it being hard to not compare them to other kids. But they’re fine they’re on their own journey. God got them and God will continue to give us the patience we need. You’re doing amazing! 💓

[@haloangel1000_]

Enzo so lucky to have you as a mom ❤Both your children are. You are an amazing mom .. just give yourself a little grace. Pat yourself on the back 👏Enjoy your channel and enjoy watching . Have a good week.

[@sandracoates5445]

He will and you will come through this. I have two sons and it was my youngest that I observed was not speaking at the same time as his older brother, so it was very clear to me they were developing differently. It was so hard to not compare them, because they are only a year and a half apart. Sammy my youngest son, I really pushed for him to do the speech therapy and they had him in occupational therapy as well. It really helped. I had to just stop comparing my sons , I also constantly thought I had something to do with it. Just know you are a loving , supportive, and caring mother. My son is 12 now and he has come so far , his vocabulary is phenomenal. My love and support goes out to you. I will keep you in my prayers through this journey.

[@CARELIA16]

My son is starting speech therapy soon and this is definitely the sign I needed that he’s going to be okay 🙏🏽💕 it’s so stressful to see your baby not meeting certain milestones and struggling to communicate. I’m very thankful for you sharing with us your journey ❤ and showing us the light at the end of the tunnel

[@Pardonherthoughts]

Girl being a mom is a full time job. You’re an amazing mommy ❤. I understand how you feel but give yourself some grace. That baby is amazing and he will be speaking soon. Saying a prayer for you.

[@ShanazhaColeman]

Love how attentive you are to your children!! Goals 🫶🏽

[@PoeticEvolution89]

And Aja, I definitely know how you feel as a mom to autistic child. I think in another vlog I commented about my son's speech. He didn't say a word until he was 3. And now at 6 years old he can do 2-3 word sentences. The comparison talk is something most parents with children who are delayed in some area go thru. It's okay to cry and grieve those experiences. It's hard for others to understand but from one mom to the next we see u ❤❤❤❤

[@teara5741]

I’m going through this with my son and it’s very stressful as a Mom you just feel like it’s something you did. But all we can do is get the resources are children need and encourage their development. Love Your Vlogs and I can even see Enzo is progressing very well❤

[@Laurenantoinette]

Aja, you’re such an amazing human all around. Love seeing you and the kids 💕

[@JayniaAnsha]

Can’t wait till you reach 100k you deserve it more than anyone ❤ keep going

[@brittanymcnair3025]

Aja you’re a phenomenal mother & you’re doing what’s best to help Enzo progress!

[@tanyapollar3931]

Don’t beat yourself up. You are on top of things. It’s better do it now before pre school and he’s not delayed. He’s going to grow out of it because my son was the same way. You’re do a great job.

[@kmariecolon]

Enzo is the cutest!!!! He’s got this, and so do you!!!!! 💕

[@tyradaniela]

I’m so proud of my virtual nephew, the journey with speech therapy has it’s ups and downs ,but he will get there. Two of my nephews had speech delays so I completely empathize with you on a whole different level.It’s hard ,but it will continue to teach a level of patience you never thought you had and that things are truly on there on timing. I sending you so much love and patience. The amount of kindness and bravery you show us with things that can be challenging is impeccable. I thank you for the rawness. I truly believe we’re going to hearing his little voice soon.🩵

[@mama2boys_]

When I look around my classroom I couldn't tell who crawled first, who walked before one or spoke in sentences by 15 months. I can't tell you if their parents breastfed or bottle fed. No clue if they still wear pull-ups at night, because I'm sure many do! I don't know if they potty trained at 18 months or 4 years old. I don't know if their mom ever left them to cry it out for a few minutes or if they strapped them to their bodies 24/7. You know what I can tell when I look at my kids? I can tell which families value kindness and manners in their homes. I can tell when a child feels love and secure at home (and at school which sadly isn't always everyone's schoo experience!) I know who has pizza and movie Friday nights and which mom reads in different voices for bedtimes. I see how kids handle scary situations like thunderstorms. I can see who has a solid routine at home and who has chores and responsibilities. I can hear how you speak your children by how they speak to others. When I look at my little friends I don't see their milestones, I see who they are: their heart, their actions, their inner voice, their struggles and triumphs, and I see you; and all the love you pour into them. We are always supposed to talk about testing and benchmarks and data during parent teacher conferences and I had a mom last time look at me and say " I don't worry about all the reading and math, she will get there. I want to know... how is she, as a person? Is she kind? Does she include others?" I found this on tiktok, caption was “first grade teacher wrote this” I really needed this, and you may need this too 🫶🏽

[@ajanarie]

Loved this!!!!! It hit home cause with all of Harper's teachers i rarely stress studies because i know she'll master them on her own times but when they all rave to me about how kind she is, helpful and nurturing with her peers it makes me the most proud!!

[@plantainsandprada]

You’re a great mom Aja, you do so much for both your kids you’re not giving yourself enough credit boo ❤ God gives the hardest battles to his toughest soldiers

[@rosababy4238]

Enzo will get there within time! I’m so glad you’re a mother that did seek help and attempt to get him to where he needs to be❤ one day at a time babe

[@rosababy4238]

Wait but why I “yerr” you just back 😅

[@AChanteRychelle]

I’m so glad you included your sentiments in last week’s vlog. The real parents understand. I have two boys, 2 and 5, so I’m right there with you. We’re getting started on speech therapy with me youngest for the exact same reasons as Enzo. It’s hard to not compare him to his brother because he was speaking clearly & in complete sentences at 18 months. No two kids are the same but it is hard not to question yourself as a parent even though developmental delays are beyond your control. I’m rooting for you as we fight the same fight. We got this🤞🏽

[@soultry100]

You got this sis!! Enzo gonna be talking yo ear off so much when his time is right❤

[@Readings.So.Dope.]

Visits at your dad's house are so fun for me watch. I be cacklin and be all in the mix with y'all 😉

[@cydneycydney]

Omg you’re doing a great job with Zo! Don’t ever beat yourself up or overthink it! Zo is making such great progress! We see what you do with your baby your patience and advocating for him! Pop your shit Aja because you’re a great mom with healthy beautiful kids don’t ever beat yourself up! ❤

[@ajanarie]

Stop! This is literally something i needed today, thank you sooooo much.

[@Taylor_Made_]

Enzo is such a smart and sweet boy! 💙 He will get there. You got this Aja! ❤️

[@brialianabesos]

Yoooo you’re on to something - I totally agree with the ability to send voice notes on here. I think yall would be cracking up with us here in the comments. That would be super cool lol

[@DazshaKabree]

“They’re the perfect little summer steppas 🎶🎵” Yes they are 😍

[@Oh_its_nami]

Hi Aja. Your baby has come a long way, hang in there, my cousins son was also nonverbal till about 4yrs, It's a journey, all the effort and hardwork you're putting into him will surely pay off. Be patient with him and give yourself grace, you're doing great sweetie. Love from Malawi ❤❤

[@ms_kelababy]

You are a great mom coming from a mother who has a child with a disability my daughter is none verbal & not walking at the moment she’s 7 all I do is pray 🙏🏾 & give everything to GOD he has all the answers & the cure trust in believe I know it’s hard & overwhelming but you got this we both do blessings to you & your kiddos you’re doing amazing boo!!!🫶🏾💜🙏🏾

[@tiffanyk2352]

We almost live the same mom life. My son is the same exact way and I have the same exact thoughts and feelings, I told Steph that lol but it’s a journey, it’s his journey. My son is 3 and it’s the same way here. Just. Think of the things he’s so good at and that he’s trying and that you are doing all the things you can as a mom to advocate for him and his development. I literally had a moment last week about this cause when they turn one in the city they go to Elwyn for 3 year olds. Whew that’s another conversation!!!

[@kymanir.6322]

Aja with the back to back uploads yessssss😊

[@rebeccadelgado8751]

Great Vlog!!!!!!! Congratulations on Enzo’s accomplishment!! 😊 I didn’t know the Asian market was still open. Someone told me that it was closed and I don’t know why I believed it. Definitely got to go back and get some things from there..

[@Melangevar]

I literally came to see if you uploaded and boom, you did! Tuning innnnn

[@iYummmerz7]

You have such a beautiful family. Wish you and your family nothing but the best! 🤍🙏🏾

[@MsLele247]

Aww Aja, you’re doing great!! Even though he’s almost 3, he is literally just starting out in his little life 💙 my son was very similar. He wasn’t speaking much before aged 3 and one day something clicked for him. He’s 13 now and speaks so eloquently! Enzo will get there too 🤗❤️

[@ToshaToshh]

Yayyy found another mom vlogger! New subbie!!! Never compare your baby , they all develop differently! He'll be just fine you're doing a great job! My mom hates the C word too!

lol Aja regarding the TikTok filter, when you’re in the camera click on that little wand you can adjust the filters in there xx

[@KimberlyCole-ng5ih]

Babe don’t beat your self, just from the last vlog I was like awe look at how much progress Enzo is making. Each kid is different and that’s okay. My nephew was the same way as Enzo….he didn’t start verbally using words until he was 4….now he is 12 and won’t stfu lol. I think my nephew being around other kids for school helped him out. All he used to do is point and the only word he would say is “keki” in reference to his sister who name is Ashley (how he came up with that idk) but just give Enzo time he will be fine. You are going down the right path with getting the help and going the lengths you’re going..you’ll be good. 💕… P.S… this is the content that eats.. love the rawness and vulnerability

[@s0ulgloow]

My daughter is 3 she does the same thing whining and yep I feel the same way. But I think they want our attention. I just calm down pick her up And tell her use her words. Your doing a good job girl I hear you talking to him a lot Keep doing that. A lot of it is normal toddler activity

[@valentinaalicea7824]

Awww Aja, Enzo is so smart. I was the same way as a child & now I don’t shut up as an adult 😂

[@tatianamiller6069]

I didn’t even realize that Enzo wasn’t speaking until you mentioned speech therapy and honestly at first I was like he doesn’t even need it. But I’m so happy that as his mom you noticed early and took that initiative. Some parents are oblivious or just live in denial. I can tell he’s so smart. We love yall and you’re doing such a great job ❤ I have a 2 year old too and I relate so much to the rant about the milestones. My baby is doing fine with her milestones but I definitely find myself comparing sometimes.

[@chantabridges5563]

Thumbs up at breakfast 😂 so cute. Go Enzo!! Proud of u little baby. ♥️ Aja, I say “my privacy” when referring to the v. 😂 childish

[@Baesicc]

You’re a great mom Aja. You don’t have to justify to us your feelings. It’s okay if he drives you crazy sometimes, that’s kids. As a mom I get it. You’re doing all the right things. Just keep taking all the steps, and praying over him, Enzo will be okay 🫶🏽 😘 Idk if for the bar cabinet display, if you like the IKEA Rudsta or Vittsjo cabinets/ shelves. I can’t wait to see the new place. I know it’s going to be so cute. I need that jacket from Fridays look, I’ll send you my address. I want to see some try on hauls from Micas, Manière De Voir, and of course PLT & Zara.

[@denisedonshay9309]

congratulations gab !!

[@JetLagRecords]

Aja Narie, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!

[@VionBritne]

Have you thought about teaching him sign language. So when he begins speaking it can also give him another avenue to making money when he’s older. My husband said interpreters make a lot of money. Just spinning it another way! You’re doing great and you are a great mom!!! This is temporary and will pass mama ❤❤❤❤

[@ajanarie]

Yes he does know some sign language! Which has been useful here and there. It has definitely helped us to communicate his needs with one another. I really appreciate the spin on perspective you gave me as how it can benefit him as an elder as well!!!
