Twins try calamari

[@DonnaNelson-ig7ws]

I haven't been around children this age in a long time yet I still think that Anna & Guin are way advanced in speaking, in vocabulary, and in their knowledge of words...so many words. And they are so kind, so sweet, so loving, and just about the smartest two year olds I've ever had the privilege of "knowing." So impressive! Kudos to mom & dad!

[@gabrieledeschaine4688]

Yes and that what you get if you don't talk baby talk good job Mom and Dad

[@SM-mg6lp]

@@DonnaNelson-ig7ws I couldn’t agree more. Talking to and listening to rather than talking at is definitely a game changer. Alicia and Walt are simply fantastic parents.

[@Joyce-kx2eg]

They are so polite. You are a wonderful mother.The girls are precious little angels.

[@christinemanka9411]

They are just two special little girls who have a mother and dad who have really given their all in raising them. It shows in so many different ways. Especially how quiet they are when they like what they’re eating. So cute. ❤

[@JudyAllison-Richards]

I sooooo agree.❤❤❤❤

[@paulinethurston9751]

These two are examples of children being brought up to learn politeness and kindness and manners, even at this early age. No bad language or rude behavior is even present. Because they have great role models for parents.

[@SandraMurphy-u4o]

Wow just when I think they have tried everything. Amazing Mom comes up with calamari! And their silence and adorable munching noises make it a hit! 🩷💜 their communication skills and politeness always amazes me.

Love their little personalities.

[@janegroom2756]

I love the way they say. Yes I do like it. Adorable little girls growing up far too fast. 💖💖💖

[@FrancieMoon9]

Omg that interaction with them at 11ish minutes into the video was SO cute! They understand each other's feelings and have such a sweet language and bond!

[@sharonzulick5715]

I laugh at the comments,so funny.

[@lisefolkman]

It's awesome how Ana and Guin dive right into so many types of seafood! Worldly little ladies. And cuter than cute on the chatting front!

[@friedabanman7189]

The conversations are priceless! Can’t get any better than this ! The whole family is my daily dose of joy! Thank you ever so much! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ellebradford4001]

“You want a heart ?” Aww melted my heart when Ana said that. Love you girls. ❤

[@lisalivingston6473]

@ellebradford4001 I loved that! Ana was giving out hearts (and a car!) like they were candy - so sweet! 🥰💜🤟

[@janetpartyka5968]

This is an excellent example of parents being home with their children and spending time on a consistent basis. This leads to well adjusted, confident kids. It's the biggest gift you could ever give your children.

[@gailpaton1680]

Unfortunately, for the majority of families now, it's necessary for both parents to work for financial reasons .

[@patricekanagy5898]

Absolutely. However, there are moms (like me) who had to work but spent as much time with my sons as much as possible. Well worth it.

[@barbaragibson397]

These girls are privileged in that mom can be home not all parents can do this but they also have well adjusted kids.

[@sherryw1919]

@@barbaragibson397 Absolutely. They'll know how lucky they were/are as they grow older & experience friends who live in single-parent homes working at least one job, etc. There are 23M American kids in single-parent homes. Fams with 2 parents who both work is 71%. (2023 stats.) It's fair to say It's a luxury to have one parent who's able to be home.

[@karenhenley2195]

I was a latch key child because my Mom always worked in an office. It's called having food on the table and paying the mortgage. She graduated from college in business. My Dad also worked for a major newspaper. We were Middle Class. I graduated with college honors, so I'm well adjusted. Back then Moms could not make a large salary from their children being on you tube channels, so they went out in the world and got a job.

[@lindakile1229]

They are the cutest, smartest, best eating 2 year olds ever!!❤ They know what they like and don’t like! 😂 We can’t help but love them!!❤❤

[@melaniefuhr8621]

I was so suprised that the girls love calamari's !Wow now the veggies they are very good eaters.Very polite!!

[@melaniefuhr8621]

your a very good mother!❤

[@jlbl3166]

The antics of these two girls is certainly entertaining. They understand empathy towards each other when they aggravate one another and their imaginations are such fun to watch.

[@Timbergal]

I LOVE everything about how you are raising your girls….you both are so kind and loving and you give them both such lovely examples of confidence and how to be nice. Your twins are so lucky 😊

[@Katmcali]

Guin saying her finger is sick & then the finger is all better! I love how they can entertain themselves in such imaginative ways!

[@dianereeves242]

I just love their conversations. Alicia, you answer every question while making sure they are your first priority. They listen to everything you say and respond in an adult like way. It's so amazing how they have grown up right before our eyes. Ana goes into deep thought and drifts away while Guinevere exams every inch of her food. You two are such wonderful parents!

[@DonnaTumber]

I am amazed to see them enjoying calamari at such a young age. It's great how you introduce them to such a variety of food❤❤❤

[@CathyBaker-xi7we]

These 2 little cuties are so much fun to watch. I love when Ana threw her hands up in the air and was hollering 'yeah, yeah, yeah ' . I've never seen a child that excited about broccoli or any other vegetable. They are beautiful children inside and out. Alicia and Walt you are doing a superb job raising your girls. They are blessed to have parents like you and you and 2 are blessed to have them.

[@virginiabrooks3861]

Guten Abend liebe Renate, ich hoffe du hattest ein schönes Wochenende! Wir sind heute zurück gekommen und ich bin völlig geschlaucht. 🥱 Die beiden Prinzessinnen waren wieder sehr erfrischend und lustig. Mhm, die Calamari sahen wirklich lecker aus und ich kann gut verstehen, dass die Mädchen es auch sehr mochten. Sie sind wirklich kleine Gourmets, die auch ihr Gemüse lieben. Wie immer, war auch die Unterhaltung wieder sehr niedlich zwischen den beiden. So, ich werde nun ein wenig ausruhen, aber nicht bevor ich dir von Herzen liebe Grüsse gesendet habe und dazu eine ganz dicke Umarmung! 🤗💕🌼 Unsere tägliche, kurze Unterhaltung hat mir doch sehr gefehlt liebe Renate. Schön, wieder da zu sein und ich wünsche dir einen wunderbaren Abend! ☺ See you tomow-ow-ow! 🥰🙋‍♀

I missed three days and so much changed ... they got bigger, their hair got longer and they look a little bit older, too!! But ... what didn't change is how absolutely precious these little girls are! Oh my heart ...❤! Best video yet, because it has a little bit of everything: singing manners, compassion, laughter, trying new foods, conflict, conflict resolution, the confident sharing of their own opinions, ["It's taste ... not tasty!"] but ... most of all LOVE! So much love straight from, and to, the heart! And while my personal code of conduct is that I never comment on the looks or appearance of anyone, young or old, I'm going to break my own rule, this one time, because these littles are just so ... pretty, so very pretty! Pretty and oh-so sweet, too! Alicia: It is such a joy to see and hear how you interact with your girls. It is clear that you delight in them and that they adore you. Color my heart warmed and reminded that there is still so much good in the world!❣

I love calamari. Growing up in NY, my dad's cousin owned an Italian restaurant, and his chef would make fried calamari and also calamari in brown wine sauce and when he knew I was coming, he would make me a plate of both of them. Yum! That is so wonderful how they are getting a wide variety of different foods. And, of course, they are adorable as always.
