Your discipline and love for your family are unmatched. Love and joy to your family.

[@kembafrancis5905]

I am an autism mom (3yrs old) and older son (5yrs) with a speech delay and a 2yr old. It is truly hard to be their mom but all I can do is put my best foot forward everyday and make them the center of my decisions. I love your autism blogs because they give me ideas and things to try. Thank you! 💙 🧩

[@Eshacat1]

I'm not an Autism mom but I love this Vaughn. Your family is amazing.

[@tracybaker3272]

Anna's doing GREAT!!! And getting so tall. Vaughn you and Anthony are doing so very well and I am so very happy and proud of you guys. I'm a Nana and nothing brings us more joy than spending time with our grandchildren. Enjoy you alls vacation because you have organized everything for everyone and they're all going to be fine. This kinda stuff makes me so happy and makes my day!! Best Wishes.

[@DomandShayTV]

Love the patience you demonstrate. I am sure things aren't always easy but your willingness to adjust for Anne's needs is beautiful. However, I am not surprised either! Love to see it!

[@chocpch]

My kids are grown & neither of them have autism but when Ms. Vaughn posts a new video, I have to watch! PeriodT!

[@doreaner]

Always in my Prayers!♥️

[@Pianopraiser]

So amazed at how Anne is progressing. You and Anthony definitely need some adult time. Your mom will do a great job and you will be able to feel confident.

[@vmina12]

I really admire and applaud you for stepping forward so to speak and choosing to lead in this instead of being led. Your baby girl is still very young and it would have been easy for you to have decided to stay in the background and just silently look for help. I gotta say I really love the position that you took on this because some special need moms choose to either deny the issue or hide it for whatever their reason for doing so, even if it’s just for privacy issues...and they have that right, I don’t judge. I just love the decision you made and the road you chose...says a lot about you...and you’re doing what you’re doing seemingly with such grace and ease even though I know it’s hard. Being a mom is hard let alone adapting to a child’s special needs ON TOP OF being a first time parent....keep doing what cha doin mama we watching, paying attention, and taking notes. Low key a lot of this is great advice and tips for children who aren’t even on the spectrum😊❤️

[@Plushdiva75]

Lunch time @Work kicking it with Vaughn!

[@keysangel5192]

Proud Autism Mom here as well. Thank you so much for this video. You have given me great ideas for my daughter who is 5 and just started back going to preschool in person and having OT and Speech. Some never think that the small things such as riding a bus 🚌 by themselves 15 minutes away is so big to them and me. I truly thank you for these videos. Also enjoy your break and glad she’s in great hands.Be blessed and safe 🥰🥰.

[@tamara8050]

You, Anthony, your mom, your dad, and your sister Alex have such amazing hearts! Your love for Anne and one another is so inspiring and wonderful to watch. Your family is truly BLESSED!!! I love how organized, involved, and forward thinking you are when it comes to Anne's care, Ms. Vaughn! I feel so many can learn a lot from you. I also loved how you did a walk through training with your mom in preparation for your trip. I have an idea, maybe you can have your mom do a dry run of staying with Anne in the house by herself for one night so if any questions arise you guys can address it before you leave on your trip...just a suggestion.

[@kells1784]

Your brilliant Mum and so attentive, patient and loving towards Ann ❤ My niece is severe on the Spectrum and non verbal with hypermobility she is 6 next month. She is an amazing child and I love her dearly ❤ Alot of milstones are alot slower pace with my niece, with her Autism being severe and non-verbal, but that's OK, we tailor everything to the stage she is at and have the hope she will get their with our and others support. ❤

[@tierrasardine562]

Anne will have a blast with grandma ! ❤️ Heck she might even not wanna be without her after , my son spent a week with “gran-gran” now he ask everyday for her 😂

[@Ms_TRenee]

Thanks for sharing the popcorn site my daughter and I love popcorn so I’ll definitely support such an awesome company ..and its a blessing to have your mom care for Anne while you spend time with your husband, it’s definitely hard to find someone to trust with our special babies.❤️

[@tellykat4998]

Ms. Vaughn, you were built for this!! I love how you take care of Anne! I was thinking "Ms. Pat" before you said it! Wishing you have a great time on your vacation!

[@maritzamoffett8021]

You are so awesome Vaughn. This video was beautiful. Thank you so much. Enjoy your vacation with hubby.😊

[@NadiaZoe1111]

I was waiting to see Anne's progress video. You and anthony are very patient and good at navigating around her needs. I figured well it was either moo moo or your mom that will look after anne because they are great with her as well. Yes anne, I love the growth

[@Itsellasky]

I definitely feel. I have had horrible experience with daycares. I’m a full time stay at home. She’s not ready for school. She’s 5. My life is not what I expected. Trying to balance it all.

[@Bgal31052]

Parents have felt as you have spoken. I hear good in what you said. I’m a stay home, good. You are giving her the school she needs for now. I’m try to balance. ...good...you are working on what you know today. When things get hard for you said what you said this was. My life is not what I expected...It’s Better! ( Even when you can’t see or feel it) It’s Better.

[@jessicamontaperto810]

Maybe try homeschooling. There’s a mom who homeschools Her Kids with special meds & another one . The Landing Crew & 8 panssgers . I d” look at currclium . Try 4H they re Great with ASD kids . Check out Reglious & Secular

[@tamology]

Yaaaay Anne the world is yours baby girl. And Vaughn you are truly the real MVP and the tight ship you run is impeccable!!!

[@shopper5969]

Just seeing this video sorry I’m late. Ms. Vaughn you and your husband are doing a blessing and Ann just precious. All will go well and thank God for Nana. Yes, Ann the Queen. Y’all keep up the blessings and love y’all giving to each other. Thanks for showing the love!

[@lottiekenney636]

Msvaughn Your daughter is in my prayers and your family!!

[@carmiedh]

Awesome, outstanding and amen to all of this video. You are an amazing Mom period. I have 2 daughers , now grown. My youngest is on the spectrum. Very classic autistic qualities as a child but late middle school to now presents more like Asperger's. She talked and walked later than typically expected. But when she mastered anything she soared. I know your daughter will do so too. I was a fierce advocate as she was only 1 of 2 black little girls i've encountered on the spectrum in our area - Raleigh-Durham, NC. I said all of this to say: I wish i knew the things you discuss in your videos. Way to go Ms. Vaughn. Much love and continued blessings and growth for you, little sweet Anne and your family. xoxo

[@gloriaharrison6346]

So glad you are taking some time off together as a couple, it is so important to maintain your relationship. Grandma's are the GOAT, what would we do without them!

[@iamshe3275]

Thank God for Grandmoms! Congrats, I can relate...I was always a wreck leaving my children to go on vacation, even if it was one night...but it is a must! We can't pour from an empty cup🤗 I pray you and hubby have a blast😍

[@Bgal31052]

You are such a good teacher. What you tell works for kids period. 3 years old will still have accidents, put things were they can learn where they. Go. And the best one what they ate yesterday is a no go today. So you are helping a lot of parents. Even taking sometime for yourselves helps the babies. you are recharged and ready to go. Even going on a vacation. Enjoy all will be well at home.

[@stronggiftfromgod]

You are really making a difference sharing your story! Be well sis! ❤️

[@kells1784]

That's brilliant Ann well done you with being a big girl and using the big toilet! 👏😊

[@kellyworsleigh5774]

So well said! Take ur vacation! Thank God for your mom. You give all day everyday. You and Anthony will appreciate and benefit from the respite.

[@shirleyfretty487]

You're doing an amazing job with Ann!!!!!

[@destinyd0311]

I love these type of videos it makes my heart smile but also makes me not feel alone ❤️❤️ #AutismMom

[@wanda5encouragetoimpact392]

You, your family and your beautiful daughter are doing amazingly well! You all are in my prayers that you move at God’s pace by grace to continue to blaze trails educating, encouraging and inspiring others as He restores you 100% all of the love, support and care that you give.

[@latisha334]

Vaughn you have got to be the most organized person on KZbin! Under your cupboard, Anne’s playroom are all incredibly neat.

[@niknap451]

Yes Anne!!! Big Girl Mode in progress. Great job Mom and Dad ❤️

[@tiffanywebb4352]

I love your Autism Mom Vlogs. Your tips are so helpful for me as I’m raising a 3 years. Adding the oral rinse to my next shopping list!

[@hadlee189]

So very nice, I hope that you & Anthony enjoy yourselves on Vacay! Maybe next year, 2022 Summer, all of you as a Family can enjoy a Vacation by taking a Disney Cruise, or going to Disney World with Miss Anne. I can guarantee you that the whole family will enjoy the Cruise, & Disney World.

[@tonyathomas66]

I love ❤️your methods on raising your daughter . She has your beautiful eyes. Yes Grandma Life is definitely the Best Life😉.

[@lorainec38]

Hey MS. I JUST LOVE MOM. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SUPPORTIVE. SHE RAISED YOU, SO ANN WILL BE JUST FINE.

[@menaf.2295]

Awesome parents!

[@marlenejohnson8696]

Just one person is soooo much help. You must have a break for your sanity. She must be comfortable. 40yrs now I really understand.

[@litacoleman2246]

Y’all are Always in My Prayers 💞

[@Mimiplansandknits]

Have a wonderful trip! As a Mimi to 5 great grandkids I enjoy my time with them. Your mom will have a blast!

Go Anne!!!! Vaughn, I have been a subscriber for a long time. I love your content. Even though I am not an autism mom, you inspire me to be the best mom I can be. You’re such a good mom. God bless!!! Again...Go Anne!!!

[@donnamosley7658]

Hey Vaughn, just came from Walmart in Glen Ellyn. They have long/short sleeve autism shirts in the men’s department. I didn’t have a chance to look in women or kids.

[@SharondaG]

It was meeee I said picturesss lol I did it with my daughter!! 😂😂😂

[@micheledean6039]

You’re doing amazing and Ann is blessed to have you.

[@ladyt4062]

I remember having a list for my mom as well!, So awesome to have Mom or Nana to help!!

[@conniewilder6576]

Fantastic video, love how you and your husband have developed a strong support system. Be Blessed and Enjoy your vacation!!!

[@vanessaharris9862]

You are an AMAZING mom!!!! I just love your family. ❤️😘🥰🤗

[@HarmonyandHope7]

Thanks for sharing! I’m going to try the gum detoxify wash for my 2 boys! Potty training My soon to be 3 yr old has improved and I’m so happy to save money by not buying anymore training pants. Sidenote: I’ve always wondered if you wanted more kids? Have you mentioned that in a video before, I’m not sure, just curious😄

[@ThisDivasLife]

Thanks for sharing Vaughn. I think it would be great if your mom could vlog a little the overall experience ann & grandma time together I think it would be cute.

[@ramonathomas8365]

Anne is gorgeous! You and your family are blessed. My 35 year old son has autism and is nonverbal. Autism has shaped my entire life. It's an indescribable love and an indescribable heartbreak. Things have improved tremendously over the years. I am an elementary school teacher. With the pandemic we have really struggled. Thank you for sharing your family's journey.

[@themultifacetedmamadoc]

You have NO IDEA how much this blessed me. Thank you! #AutismMama

[@crystalcrawford2418]

Amen!! 🙏🙏🙏💕💕

[@twilson2750]

I love it....potty training was a challenge. I am moving to the next phase middle school. You are doing such a wonderful job. Blessings to you and your family

[@iamtasneema]

Hi Vaughn, not sure if you have ever ran across domo Wilson's channel on KZbin but she also has a special needs child and I love watching you both and how you both love on your children💞

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

Their names are so timeless!!

[@michhib9991]

So glad you did this video it will help parents know they should not feel guilty for living life❤❤❤❤❤

[@dwalaaiken7733]

I’m so happy for you guys!!! Enjoy! Enjoy!

[@ellabrown9513]

That was a great vlog. Enjoy your trip and be safe.

[@aquabayb4309]

I think that’s so amazing your mom is so attentive and open to learning. We all know how parents can be when the child tries to tell them something. They give you that look like, I raised you, you can’t tell me nothing 😂 great video. Shout out to mom!

[@sandrahill3299]

Keep up the great work Queen! I’m a mom of 4 and I will pray to remain as compassionate, patient and disciplined and to always strive to provide the extra love and tender care to my babies as you do with Anne.. It’s very inspiring and beautiful to see!

[@scosta87]

Anne's progression is so much better I really believe she will get better I have faith in God.The love Anne gets from you guys and from Grand mum is what will make Anne progress each day❤

[@reejaye6395]

Dreamy eyes anne is just the cutest, thank god for grandmas the most trusted . Enjoy your trip, God bless .

[@TreasureChest0806]

What a blessing you have in your mom! I know that many ppl aren’t able to travel & do those fun things to recharge. I thinks it’s also very smart of you to get away with your husband and enjoy time together. We hope you will clog! ❤️

[@juleswilson5018]

You do need to recharge and get back to knowing yourself. As parents we give all to our children and neglect ourselves.

[@ladyt4062]

Yessss, when my daughters became 2 years old we started putting underwear on them. We started bringing them every 15 minutes, and eventually they caught on!! I remember singing songs with them while they were using the toilet!

[@Babybubbllez030290]

I'm not an autistic mom but my son does have dyslexia and your videos about your journey really encourage and motivate me and make me feel like I am doing my best. Thank you

[@scosta87]

Your mum is amazing bless her❤

[@FallonMyers]

Vaughn you are such an inspiration. My husband & I went on a vacation recently and we feel like new people and parents lol. It’s a blessing to have a good support system. 💗

[@kimaroo82]

I’m so proud of your daughter-I’m also so proud of you, Vaughn! You are rocking motherhood, hun! 💕😆 Love your videos 🥰

[@victoriawalker1633]

I can't wait to see these vacay LEWKS!

[@leggzhenderson]

This vlog was sooo sweet!! Seeing Annie Boos progress just warms my heart. You give her everything she needs along with plenty of patience and love. BTW, your mom won't need that manual but if it puts your mind at ease...go for it. 😉 Enjoy that time away. You and Anthony truly deserve it!!

[@sharonjohnson6014]

Your mom is a blessing you are very fortunate to have her in your life..btw check out Walmart’s website the have Autism mom and grandma’s sweatshirts and I think T-shirts.

[@mor2day767]

Congratulations Anne 👏🏽🙌🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🥰

[@elizabethrose5007]

I use those dental harps because I hate the normal flossing. I had an autistic child in my class and took a few days off, he was so upset and when I returned he was angry with me, I felt so bad for taking that time I needed. sticking to a routine is so important. I love the fact that you are such an involved parent and it is necessary to take a break to rejuvenate and be even better.

[@monie2jai212]

I just love her and her family.❤️

[@epd0126]

im not a mom but i love ur channel..i notice that ann really has a lot of stuff (toys, learning materials, cloths, wall hangings) and things are constantly being moved around..can someone in the comments tell me if this is the same set up for atypical children..im a bit of a minimalist and it all seems overwhelming and too much...would love to hear how minimalist raise autistic children

[@takishajohnson7145]

Your outstanding as a Mom (period) 💗

[@SumthinAboutAce]

I just love your family unit ❤️

[@daariesdoll89]

I’m not an autism mom but I do have a 10yo with adhd a 5yo getting speech therapy and a bouncy 2yo. Being a mom is so hard but also so rewarding. I love your vlogs and your overall resilience 🥰❤️ 🧩 #teamVaughn

[@83SupaNatural]

Your so dope I love your attitude and the care you take with your family. I know they are truly lucky. Let your mom know she is super dope too. I love that you can count and depend on her too. Enjoy your vacay and keep being awesome

[@kenyagriffin9372]

You are exceptional! 🥰

[@sundaritoye3033]

😉I’m so proud of Anne & all the progress she continues to make!! ❤️YOU GO ANNE✊🏾

[@LaDeidraLAllen]

Great video! As a paraprofessional in aba it gives me a little insight on what the parents may be thinking

[@zedianqueen]

😊 Great content! While growing up, my mother was a foster parent to four special needs children and taking respite time away is sooooo necessary! You're doing an awesome job with your angel.

[@rosaguthrie3434]

You are such an organizer.. luv watching your channels

Your mom is a very good choice🥰

[@sandrahughey8183]
