Great update as always! Would you also be able to link to the mat that the potty is sitting on top of?

[@shelbylegardye5834]

Do you remember where you got the drawers in the closet from? Or is that in a previous video? (new subscriber)

[@Magikalic]

I love that you and Claude always keep his face hidden, it's really refreshing to see parents who have a social media presence respecting their child's privacy like this while still keeping content family-orientated.

[@Samantha-zu3qe]

Yes! I enjoy that he isn’t online all the time but we get small little glimpses of his personality. Helping put up his wall decals, knocking over the flowers. Such cute, sweet toddler moments but we aren’t in his daily business.

[@sarahwatts7152]

Agreed in a big way on this one. I get a little queasy when I see people on Facebook post and post and post about their kids, partially because it feels like their personalities get subsumed by parenting and also because you never know who sees those pictures - and what they can learn from them. Massive security issue. It's so refreshing to see parenting videos that keep the kids safe!

[@bekah5935]

I'm pretty sure it's the law in the UK

[@honorcollins6962]

@@bekah5935 sadly it’s not at all against the law to put your own child on the internet

[@kawaiielephant7772]

Wish they hadn't shared his name either 😓

[@gracelarmee]

Rupert is so big!! I feel like everytime I see him in a video, he has grown so much! He seems especially playful and giggly in this video. Jessica and Claudia it's so obvious how happy and loved Rupert is - you two have done an amazing job

[@jessicaoutofthecloset]

This is so sweet, thank you so much. 🥰

[@zamorvex]

@@jessicaoutofthecloset wait! its already been 2 years? jee-loowees where on earth did the time go? hope u are having a blast with rupert and claudia and having a fantastic day. lots of love from scotland from a fellow person with scoliosis. and loves dresses haha

[@LivvyBooks]

The fact you were willing to accommodate his request for his potty to be in his room is so nice to see. I'm sure there's plenty of parents who wouldn't want the hassle of having their kids small potty outside the bathroom. Honestly whatever helps your kid to lessen having accidents and just allowing them to have that small choice of theirs accepted and granted.

[@ambergardener9114]

Rupert's giggling is the best❤

[@jennifers5560]

It was so cute!!

[@LMFuqua]

Right him playing behind her and talking in the background was the best.

[@HydrogenTwoO]

I love the gentle transitions. Like the small mattress to the big mattress, but then the big mattress into the big bed. Also, keeping clothing (so well organized too by the way!) for any children in the future is a lovely plan. Very eco friendly but also financially friendly. Kids love all the colors anyway! Edit: Seeing you and Rupert use BSL is extremely impactful

[@AndersWatches]

BSL

[@HydrogenTwoO]

@@AndersWatches Thank you for the correction :)

[@AndersWatches]

@@HydrogenTwoO no worries :)

[@DB-sc2hg]

Can’t get enough of the giggling. Rupert is one of the happiest children I have seen. It is also great how inclusive you make him when doing tasks. He feels so safe when helping his mummies, especially when picking places to put the animals. No negative comments at all- Not there Rupert. It was wonderful to see.

[@oldasyouromens]

I am so so happy you listened to Rupert when he asked to have a potty in his room. You know, as a former disabled child, pain can often make it hard to get up at night and having an accident is horrible. Even though Rupert is healthy I'm sure there are days when he feels unwell or things arent going right, and it's helpful for him to have that security.

[@KitKat17700]

Honestly Jessica, thank you so much! Your channel has really helped me over the years. I’m a bisexual teen who is also physically disabled, and to see you living such a wonderful life while still being open about your struggles has helped me to reflect on my own life! You and Claudia are such wonderful mothers too and it’s a joy to watch your family

[@jennifers5560]

❤

[@neemad]

Rupert's new room looks like a really fun place to be. Great watching him decide where the decals would go. The fact that he does ballet in the mirror is adorable ❤

[@ambercrandell4646]

His little accent with “Put it here!” Is the most precious thing I’ve ever heard in my life 🥰

[@emhoj97]

It's so strange to follow Rupert growing up. It feels like only a month since he was born, but also a whole age. He has definitely grown and is clearly a very cheery child! I like the blurring option now that he's more active and can't be easily kept out of frame :)

[@SimsandThings]

I love how the A/C shows your priorities for your kid(s). Their comfort and wellbeing comes first. So sweet

[@cormorantcolors]

I love how you encourage Rupert’s hobbies and interests, even the more stereotypically “feminine” ones like princesses and ballet. I didn’t have that same kind of support growing up so it’s nice to see

[@jerrihadding2534]

Oh my. This video radiates pure joy! Can you explain why Rupert sounds FAR more British than either you or Claudia?! 😂❤️ I sincerely pray that the three of you understand the magnitude of healing you bring to our world.

[@Nyli.]

Yeah thank you I was wondering if it was me, because I am not used to English baby talk, or if Rupert does sounds extra posh

[@p0etrygh0st]

The whole family has a very posh accent. I find the idea that Rupert sounds more English a bit weird tbh.

[@JuMixBoox]

The idea of discussing something with a two year old is so cool! Rupert seems like a very happy child.

[@AngelavengerL]

I love that you update his room with things meant for him as he is now, and taking into account independence. Also that you are saving the baby things to use for the next little one. A fantastic way to reduce waste. As a bookworm, the reading when we are supposed to be sleeping never goes away lol. I remember in elementary school getting in trouble because i was reading under my covers with a flashlight at night instead of going to bed. My favorite room i ever had was one where they got me a used armchair and i had my own reading corner. His reading corner is just divine! Love it!

[@skatergurljubulee]

I love that Rupert's face is blurred!!! Such responsible parenting and I'm loving the respecting Rupert's current and future autonomy!

[@SheilaRough]

There is nothing like the sound of a child’s giggle

[@jessicaoutofthecloset]

It's so cute! ❤️

[@SnowMenAtWork]

that's the happiest I've ever heard a kid laugh, this family seems so healthy

[@roseamelia6592]

You treat him with such maturity… you make parenting seem so easy! ♥️

[@yosoysoya7944]

HIS BRITISH ACCENT!!!!! The "yaa"!! My heart is melting

[@ShifteroftheWasteland]

It’s so wonderful and delightful to hear him talking and engaging so much! I seriously cried a little in delight, just from hearing his little giggles and comments, choosing where to stick the decals! What a precious ickle bab, I hope he likes his new setup!

[@smileyface702]

I love Rupert's room! The tree painting is amazing. I agree that clothes don't have a gender and it makes sense to reuse them for future kids.

[@jackiejames4551]

Hearing your sweet child giggling is the best thing I've heard all day. Thank you for sharing that with us. The new room looks great.

[@jennifers5560]

What a great new room! You are both awesome at encouraging his inquisitive and independent nature. Good job Moms! Loved seeing and hearing so much of Rupert.

[@emuscreeches6092]

Rupert's little laugh is just so infectious!! what a cutie

[@sallyjordan4869]

What a lovely room! I hope you can get “air con” for your and Claudia’s bedroom soon. Unfortunately, I think this heat is here to stay. 😢 🎀💖🎀

[@fallabeaufaebelle]

You two are such great moms

[@honorcollins6962]

What a beautiful bedroom I cannot get over how cute Rupert is in this video! The way he says things in his little voice and his laughter warms my heart 😂 He’s so lucky to have parents like you, I’m sure he’s going to have the best childhood anyone could ever dream of. Also, get him ballet lessons ASAP!!!

[@swimmyswim417]

I love how he helped find fun places for the animal decals! It’s adorable, and gives him a little more participation in his room decor.

[@werak.8595]

HOW IS HE 2 YEARS OLD? You must have time traveled! Yeah, You've been on a time travel journey for the past few months and came back with Rupert 2 years older! I still remember watching video where you announced He will be born. It was so beautiful!

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Rupert isn't a baby anymore! I can even understand toddler, a skill thought I had lost. His room change is beautiful and I like that he had so much choice in it's decorating. Packing away the outgrown clothes made me a little teary, remembering when you were creating his wardrobe storage and then seeing him wear them. Time has gone by so fast. Blessed be.

[@werak.8595]

You were also my inspiration for my firstborns room. It's beige and green and with trees on walls

[@MetalStranger]

His little baby british accent has me in tears, how cute!! 12:40

[@megdelaney3677]

It's so heartwarming to see a normal, functional family who does things together.

[@mpcasey]

I am loving this bedroom tour! I'm pregnant right now with my first (and potentially only) baby and we are planning to set up a Montessori bedroom for our little Mr. Baby when we move to our new house (when he'll be about 6 months old). I love the idea of him one day being able to wake up and read books by himself 🥰.

[@trash2638]

you guys make such great parents!! love to see rupert grownin a family where he’s loved and cared for

[@logo9470]

Put it here, put it here! Rupert’s little voice is so cute! I’ve never been so obsessed with a child I’ve never met! His interests are just too adorable. And Jessica you are so right, clothes do not have a gender! And neither do toys or interests for that matter. I just love the way you and Claudia are raising him ❤

[@susanpolastaples9688]

Rupert is so well-adjusted and seems to love arranging his room. Has he shown interest in Winnie the Pooh or Beatrix Potter books. The stick ons for the wall looks Pooh-ish. Belated Happy birthday

[@Bluebird-xz1gw]

I don't have kids, but find these videos so interesting. If i ever have kids i think i'd like to implement some montessori. Seems like such a nice way to encourage independence and developing their own boundaries❤

[@HOHNancy]

Rupert’s laugh is so cute! The little reading chair next to his books is charming. I enjoyed the tour you gave us in his room. ❤️

[@RayRay-sq9vi]

You can get the sleep sacks with leg holes just so you know! Helps minimize tripping. Had that problem with my daughter years ago until we updated😃 P.S We just had our second little girl. We named her Claudia. Inspired by your wife. Love your channel!

[@MrsLadyCath]

I adore how much independance he has already. You have convinced me to incorprate Montessori into the upbringing of my children when I have them down the track :)

[@idap1879]

Slumber party in Rupert's room.

[@JourdanArt]

I love the video! I want to try and incorporate some Montessori things into our house. We can't afford all new clothes for our first daughter, but luckily there is a second hand shop with many children's clothes near us. They know us now and usually give us most of them for free (so many clothes get donated). The new clothes she does have are gifts from family and friends.

[@Amy_BH_06]

Ooo! Little dancer over here! It may be too early to tell, but if he continues to love to dance, there is a dance school in hove called A2 Arts. I go there and i can really recommend! They are so wonderful with kids, nurturing their love of dance. Rupert definitely has an aptitude for it! Might be worth checking out Jessica!

[@ERYN__]

I love that I just showed my spouse the nursery tour video, for inspiration in our nursery, and the toddler edition comes out. We are planning to move after/around their 1st birthday, so not so long-term plans for their space. We want a refrigerator in their room for accessibility for snacks and cold drinks, skincare, and breast milk storage and convince. The room was previously a break room for working from home and is also a guest room.

[@domvalentine9137]

its so interesting to hear about and see how independent a little child can be !! one of my nephews is about 3 months off from turning 3 years old and seeing rupert makes me wonder how much of the difference between them is just personality and how much of it is because of how theyve been raised ? i love your montessori and general child based videos so much, thank you for sharing your beautiful family 🥰

[@silent_day]

Ugh, you guys are the absolute best parents. The fact that you're planning on having 3 kids warms my heart. All of them will be in great hands.

[@bonabonina]

I never thought I would need to hear a baby speaking with a british accent

[@joray5756]

Oh! He is so big and clever. His little voice and giggles make me miss my Godchildren.

[@charmainedethierry4166]

The time has flown, I remember Claudia being pregnant like it was yesterday

[@hircenedaelen]

Yes, bed accessibility is important. When I was moved out of a cot, straight into a bed, and I had to literally jump into bed. The habit kept up until I broke the boards under my bed at like 17

[@sternentigerkatze]

Apart from the topic being interesting I loved how you played and laughed together! Edit: It's lovely how you changed the room, according to Rupert's age and wishes! The decals are so cute and I love his little comfy reading corner! I aspire to having such a lovely reading corner myself. :-D

[@salamanda11]

I’m so impressed by his independence. I’m currently pregnant, and based on how well it’s working for Rupert, I’m thinking of trying some Montessori techniques! Will be rewatching some of your earlier Montessori videos for ideas!!

[@GeekChicPolitiq]

I have no interest in kids or kid things and yet watched this with rapt attention. Gorgeous room!

[@palomitapalomita7866]

This is beautiful. The more I hear about Montessori, the more I like it and wanna apply it when I'm older and have kids :3

[@gabbyfelix8305]

He is such a happy and wonderful kid! I'm so happy parents like you two still exist. It gives me hope for perhaps healing myself, and having a child of my own someday.

[@zofiabochenska1240]

The Rupert size chair and the decals are so cute! Quite a lucky boy to live in such well designed space (both aestheticly and funcionally). And his giggles at the beginning are just the best

I started Montessori learning for my first born and didn't know that's what I was doing all I wanted was a child that develops a since of self and independence do he would depend on me for everything . and inivertantly did the same with my youngest it'd been a wonderful thing to see at each stage the accomplishment on his face knowing that he did it ❤

Obviously, to you, it's just how he sounds, but I love that I can hear his British accent coming through! I'm a Californian who has not heard British toddlers speak before, it's just so precious 🥺 I also love how he was able to give his input to his room choices. You are raising a lovely little person in the most wonderful of ways 💜

[@namidakoh1027]

Now that I will have my little one, I am leaning on your videos as a role model for my baby’s Montessori setups!

[@churlish_hoecake]

That's so sweet of you both to get him an AC unit (before your own)! Honestly, every summer I give thanks to Carrier and Cramer for inventing it. I live in Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA. We just had over a week of it being 110°F (43°C) or more, and I CAN'T believe I'm happy that we're back in the mid 90°-100°F (35°-38°C). I despise being hot!

Oh my goodness Jessica you always look like a beautifully set painting! I'm really loving the limited electronics style of child rearing, while being understanding of his needs to be independent and have enough pop culture recognition to fit in with his peers! One of my older cousins managed to keep their son without electronics until he got a switch around 10. Still better than an ipad with internet access in my opinion as someone who also grew up with videogames.
