Our two-year-old questions our wedding

[@jacquelinecallejas1390]

Love how she caught herself when he said he'd wear pink to his wedding and initially said he couldn't then realized what she'd said and assured him he can wear whatever he wants. Their son is lovely and smart. I'm so glad they were able to triumph over all the adversity to have him.

[@ShirleyLestrade]

I knew a guy who wore a pink suit to his spring wedding, it suited him well (no pun intended)

[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

Next video: Rupert destroys homophobes with facts and logic.

[@k4kadu]

YES XD

[@cheesecakelasagna]

reminds me of a kid fact-checking Matt Rife on his misinformation on the planets.

[@earthlyworld4698]

Or goes on Little Big shots

[@agneseditsstuff]

he's an icon already

[@TheSteampunkBrit]

This was absolutely brilliant. Rupert asked such great questions! It would be great to do this once a year to see the difference in the questions he asks as he grows up!

[@sams1982]

Oh gosh, what an excellent idea, I love it ❤️

[@kpwxx]

This is an awesome idea!

[@karenpaxton]

Yes, please do this!

[@tameygray7609]

That's a great idea !❤

[@ellenwest7198]

Or even every three months. They grow up so fast those first few years. He is adorable.

[@beetleduce]

Telling Rupert it's normal to feel anxious on your wedding day and he's like "nah hold up i gotta get a doll" had me reeling 😂😂😂

[@skyelorspacex]

He’s like nah mummy I got dolls to play with not be anxious about a wedding 😂

[@kaileypowers8799]

“One of my friends is called George but I don’t know. I have not met him because he died.” This statement made my day! 🤣 Rupert is so bright and charming! You both are wonderful parents, this video was so fun! Thank you for sharing your lives with us. 🥰

[@TissueCat_]

same, it cracked me up 😂 the way kid's minds work is so funny and adorable

[@KatPadmore]

I've never heard a 2 year old speak about death at all, let alone so matter of factly. I love that openness, I bet it'll set him up really well later in life

[@MothproofKT]

Same, love the stuff kids come out with sometimes 😂

[@galiaa4018]

I like how you don’t talk to him like a baby, but talk normally and adapt things to his level! So nice to see, and it’s clear that it’s helped him develop really good articulation :)

[@ninjakiwigames5418]

Agreed! My mom works with kids, and one thing that annoys her is when parents don't speak with their children/speak dumbed down. Like how do you think a kid learns to speak?

[@quirkyblackenby]

It’s refreshing

[@caitlinbutterfly]

How is Rupert almost 3?? He's so big!

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Right?! Seems like just yesterday Claudia was preggars with him!

[@SylviaRustyFae]

Several yrs ago now i lived with a roommate who had a baby of their own, and they had that kid around the same time as friends who visited often... By two and a half yrs old that other kid was like two heads taller than my roommates kid xD Genetics just be like that sometimes; the funniest thing to me tho is the fact that btwn the two parent couplings... The taller kid came from the smaller parents xD They just shoot up (wait, that has another meanin xD) earlier apparently cuz genetics be weird

[@lisastenzel5713]

Right? Time is flying 😊

[@marlenezarah6501]

Right?! How is he an actual walking, talking human already?

[@InsaneLaughter01]

Right? I swear it was just last week they were announcing the pregnacny!

[@kayleyanna3164]

"What does the postman bring to your house?" sounds like the start of a riddle 😂

[@danicafaerie]

having rupert be the person to let me know walter died is crazy 😭 omg i don’t know how i missed that!!

[@MOTHHMAN]

no literally😭😭😭

[@susanwindiarinirodgers1269]

Me too 😢

[@LouiseHultcrantz]

I missed it too. Idk if they just didn't make a big announcement of it or if they did it on other platforms like instagram that I don't have but they just mentioned it in passing a good while back and I was like WHAT

[@unastipic8857]

i love how they talk to Rupert, they explain everything to him amd are so gentle. i am only 15, so i can't really say what's good parenting and what's not, but i feel like the energy in this household must me so calm and nice. such amazing parents!

[@nekkidnora]

I have never heard such a young kid speaking with a british accent and it's SO CUTE???!??!? I am DYING!!!

[@AlliIsNotaGirlkisser]

I live in England myself, and still I love hearing little kids talk! I know this one 4 year old, he nearly speaks better than I do, he's very intelligent and has the cutest English accent.

[@ferninthehouse]

whenever little british kids speak im always astounded at how well they pronounce everything but its probably me just being weird and american

[@scilines]

Rupert sounds like a mini professor. 😀

[@SamanthaOnABantha]

Things I had no idea I could learn from an interview conducted by a toddler: how to brush my hair properly! I'm a curly-haired trans woman, nobody ever taught me how to look after my hair. I figured out some things, but starting at the bottom and working my way up when brushing had never occurred to me. Brushing my hair this morning was a revelation! No horrible noise, only 1 very small tangle, and my hair is actually less frizzy than usual! Also: Rupert is absolutely delightful! :D

[@Charlie.1066]

yay! and ya, dealing with curly hair (especially long hair) takes a bit of practise.

[@madelinelamee6142]

Curly hair can be hard to brush! Some people find it easier to use a wide tooth comb (same deal- you start from the bottom and work your way up) or they do make brushes designed specifically for curly hair. Also liberal amounts of conditioner and or keratin spray are your friends😊

[@pigpjs]

Don't feel bad. I am a curly haired cis woman and no one even told me I should use combs. Was just always in trouble for having frizzy hair... because brushing it makes it frizzy. Good luck to us both in our hair journeys!

[@nodoboho]

@@pigpjs My hair is wavy and will even go into some spirals if left alone after washing. Until well into adulthood, I had thick wavy/frizzy hair and I didn't understand how much certain conditioners and different ways of getting tangles out could help avoid the frizz! Here's what works best for me: * Use your *fingers* to gently pry apart the tangles and get to the point where you're not finding any more tangles when you run your fingers through all your hair * THEN rinse only (because you really don't need to wash as often as people do and it strips the hair of it's natural conditioners)...or shampoo if you like (with a mild shampoo). Find a conditioner that works for _your_ hair. * Use your fingers to comb the conditioner through and detangle again. Rinse thoroughly. * You can wring out your hair gently with a towel wrapped around it. But then let it air dry and *don't comb or brush it once dry* Bottom line: While a wide-tooth comb does less frizz-producing than a dry brush, it's brushing dry that seems to create the frizz. I have been *wet-brushing* for a while now (with a natural boar-bristle brush which helps distribute the natural oils down the hairshaft), with a bit of wet wide-combing at the top sometimes if your hair is thick or long like mine so the natural brush bristles can't quite get the hairs lined up near the scalp. Just keep wetting your brush thoroughly as you brush, every few strokes. Your hair should end up damp. Let it air dry after and the curls/waves will magically come back, with no frizz. (Funny note: My mother had long hair, until 30 or so, i believe, but she was 35 when she had me so I only ever saw her with permed, dyed, collar-length hair. As long as I had fine, straight hair like her (from birth to puberty), she braided it and knew what to do. At puberty, apparently my dad's curly-haired genes kicked in and I suddenly had thick, wavy hair that went frizzy. I wasn't a girly-girl and oddly, my mother never really taught me grooming, although she was groomed quite nicely herself. I chose to go live with my dad at 14 and we were like two bachelor roommates until I finally moved out to live with my first long-term girlfriend. I began to use conditioner more regularly and discovered that air-drying created _some_ spirals; my "dreadlocks" as my gf teased. And--oddly again--while my mother accepted my being gay (I don't think it was that much of a surprise--she knew I had been in love with my jr high bff), she wasn't all that thrilled either, and yet...she kept trying to get me to _cut my hair_ . While every other gay girl in L.A. was wearing the standard dyke haircut, I kept my hair long. (I'm not femme, I just don't do fads and didn't think it would look good on me.) My mother was intrigued with the idea of finding out how curly it might get if it was a lot shorter and not weighed down. I'm rather curious about that myself, and I wack off 6" or so every so often, but so far I haven't gone short. I always said I'd cut it when I hit 40. Now I'm well past that, so I suppose I'll finally go short when I'm majority gray-haired (which is coming soon). I'll finally find out whether I can have the Julie Andrews pixie cut I always planned on, or if I do indeed go curly/wavy.) P.S. I'm not one to do all the frou-frou girly stuff and I'm lazy as hell, and frugal, so I'm never going to do all the "product" routines that women on YT promote for "curly girls". In fact, I used the time in isolation during the pandemic to go "no-poo"! Once my scalp adjusted and I got into a daily wet brushing routine, my hair feels softer and calmer than ever. I get compliments on it's luster and waves! So, for now at least (4 yrs in), I'm continuing. I rinse my hair when I shower. Finger comb and wet-brush and that's it. My hair is better and has gotten longer than ever; when it gets below waist length, i cut off 6" and a bit more while evening it out.

[@horacethecheese1009]

I felt like such a dumbass when someone told me i could just start at the bottom of my hair 😅 kinda made/makes me wonder what other habits I've taken up that are horribly inefficient!

[@teapots_and]

"i can be the helper looking for daisies" is such a lovely sentence idk it warmed my heart for some reason:) children say really cute things sometimes

[@mccaine1]

Rupert is such a great kid! I'm reminded, when interacting with children this age, of the sense of curiosity and wonder that many people lose as adults. This was such a wonderful experience, Thanks!

[@hopegold883]

When Claudia said dragons don’t exist, and Rupert said “we don’t know”, it reminded me of me. We weee always told there was no Santa Claus. But I wanted there to be, and there was Miracle on 34th St. and all that. And one year I saw on Christmas Eve, I saw Santa’s sleigh sailing across the night sky. (I was too old to believe by then, but it definitely had an effect on me)

[@rae5750]

As a Montessori teacher, I can see how much time and effort you put into educating and giving Rupert the right words to express himself! The things kids say are so funny, I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it!! Keep up the good work, Jess and Claud ❤

[@spacelasertech8359]

Interviews by Rupert NEEDS to become a regular segment.

[@sylviatan6061]

This video has taken on such a fresh perspective it’s absolutely fun to watch. Oh Rupert is so smart and adorable. Definitely the product of brilliant and well matched parents, and raised in an environment filled with love, warmth and respect. Perfect parenting nonetheless.

[@nightlyre198]

I absolutely love how they are choosing to involve their child in videos. It’s so respectful of his autonomy and privacy. Rupert is also such a bright little boy! He just radiates joy. Such a sweet interview!

[@Kahentinehshon]

This is the most perfect and cutest way of including a child in videos while also keeping their privacy 🥰

[@the_bandcamp_one]

it's so interesting the way he so casually talks about death, id be really interested to know how you approached discussing the topic with him

[@justyouraveragedumbass]

My parents spoke to me about death very early as well. I'm not sure how they explained it, but I feel like it's something a lot of small kids can comprehend really well if the household allows for open conversations about more "grown-up" topics (and doesn't coddle or baby talk too much). Letting the kids ask questions and giving honest answers isn't as hard as our cultures say! They're smart little information sponges!

[@nataliatheweirdo]

It was weirdly refreshing in a way to see a two year old go ‘and then my dog died!!!’ xD

[@ferninthehouse]

most kids dont fully grasp death at this age so i think this is a pretty normal attitude for kids of this age. they dont really have the mental capacity to think about how permanent that is. most kids dont even realize they can know things that other people dont know until the age of about four; this is why its around the age of 4 that kids usually start lying. i was an early developer as an infant so none of this really applied to me, and im sure there will be a few others that it doesnt either, but this is based on research done in childhood studies.

[@arcanadawn]

What a lovely video!!! Your child is so well spoken for his age! I was *very* impressed at his communication skills!!! You two are doing a FANTASTIC job with him. Keep it up, mamas!

[@lazylittledragon]

i love how you can just tell which children read/have been read to a lot, he’s so well spoken!!

[@lindsayosterhoff2459]

I love that you have found a way to involve Rupert more in the channel while still respecting his privacy and boundaries. He's such a sweet little guy. I'm so glad we got to "see" him on here. :)

[@jennifers5560]

Rupert is charming and joyful just like his parents. ❤️ It is so sweet how Jessica and Claudia converse with him.

[@ianbyrne465]

I really appreciate how you encourage each question. You always follow it up with, "thats a great question, thank you for asking!" And I think that's so important to children growing up to be allowed to ask those sorts of things

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

I love how he talked about his painting, he described it so well. He’s so well-spoken and intelligent, you two are clearly doing an excellent job

[@aprildawnsunshine4326]

I don't think I've ever seen Claudia talk so much! 😂 Rue did an excellent job and I expect he'll only get more interested and involved in the channel as he gets older 💖 Also, that was a fantastic dragon! 🐉

[@Gnawzy8ed]

He is SO well spoken. And quite that artist as well.

[@momonoahanna1986]

He gets al that from his mummy’s! They’re such good parents.

[@Paddywan6]

My life would have been so much easier if I had lesbian mothers apparently. You two are doing an amazing job at rewarding his curiosity.

[@rainbowdemon5033]

if Rupert feels up to it, a revisit of this video once he's 16 or so would be really interesting

[@the-best-weirdo]

Yeah I agree

[@kellyrussell5630]

His verbal skills are quite good for his age! You've taught him really well already!

[@AshNight1214]

How does Jessica do with Rupert's toddler speech? I didn't see him signing, so I wondered how she does understanding him. Also, thank you for subtitling him - it really helps!

[@piarateking8094]

im guessing its easier with a toddler your talking to eveyday

[@emiliapeters1397]

Also I remember her saying really early on that Rupert had understood that she is deaf and so he needs to look at her and avoid covering his mouth so this also probably helps.

[@tarinacj03]

Oh I love 3 year olds, they're so fun to have conversations with! I have lots of children in my life so I've had few "interviews" like this lol. He's adorable

[@megb9700]

Loved the sound effects of Claudia getting phone calls about her dog 🐶.

[@Moon17ob]

This makes my inner child happy. I love seeing you guys talk to him like he can actually have real solid thoughts, because he can. But you still treat him like a kid still which really makes me happy. He’s so stinking cute, and I hope that we get to see more of him doing stuff like this because he is just darling.

[@Pan-13]

Rupert is so creative with his questions. It was very interesting to hear the answers from each person. Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed it and I hope you all had fun filming it too.

[@TherealHRHMarissa]

Watching Rupert sit and listen to your answers is incredibly validating to me. Because my child would never sit quietly and listen for explanations this long. Why is it validating? I don’t exactly know, but it confirms that all kids are different 😅

[@Junosensei]

Today I learned I brush my hair wrong. I also never had someone teach me. I'm 32. This is the first I've heard of it. I feel like I must've been living under a rock! Thank you, kind couple!

[@ferninthehouse]

im sure brushing it from the bottom up will help with breakage. if you have a lot of broken hairs along the length of your hair, try this method and see the difference in 6 months

[@Junosensei]

@@ferninthehouse - I actually have been trying it out! But consistency is a problem. Half the time, I brush my hair mindlessly after waking up and getting ready for work, so I won't realize I'm brushing wrong until I've already snagged some hair. Then I'm like, "Oh wait yeah". lol

[@ruthgeorge6565]

Aww, my family calls me Ruru too! I've never heard another one until today :) your Ruru is such a gem!

[@thomaskoopman3776]

I learnt something about brushing my hair

[@RainbyFIN]

[sends you nonbinary brainwaves psychically]

[@smilingjacks83]

Me too!

[@AnaCole]

same. ☺

[@TheAnon26]

I love the fact that your both involving your son in your job, and protecting his privacy at the same time. And youre doing such a great job with Rupert too, hes amazing! 😁

[@JuMixBoox]

This video was adorable! You two are really good at answering his questions, it feels like I'm watching an incredibly gentle children's television show. It's also cool to allow your child this space to ask questions they might have been thinking about.

[@ariadgaia5932]

I love how you protect Rupert's identity and privacy~ Well done.

[@katemurphy2680]

Rupert is so sweet!!! He has the best parents!!!❤❤❤

[@agneseditsstuff]

Rupert is such an intelligent child, and you both seem like such great parents

[@mael2039]

You could wear the pantsuit if you ever got a vow renewal

[@jennifers5560]

And Jessica could wear a big dress with lots of petticoats and bows!

[@freakishuproar1168]

*Rupert:* "What was your wedding like?" *Jessica and Claudia:* _[in-depth discussion of pantsuits]_ He's so talkative now, and if I heard you correctly he's not even three yet! :3 Rupert is a real testament to you both 🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧

[@maryn8222]

Claudia has a great way of telling a story.

[@aliwolfe343]

OMG Rupert is so sweet and smart. This made my entire day!!

[@starfish8D]

soooo cute 💙 red is the traditional wedding color in China, at a wedding, everything is red and everyone wears red! :)

[@iamsoupi]

This is super cute. Rupert is so smart!

[@caitlinquinn79]

Look at the tiny journalist!

[@Shenanigans_333]

Rupert is over here asking the real questions, we don’t talk about what the postman brings to your house enough 😂

[@Lady_dromeda]

I love the way you filmed the interview, a very good way of respecting/ keeping his privacy

[@nickyclarer]

I love his description of his painting! His language development is fantastic. Well done to the both of you for the effort you have put in reading with him and talking with him to help him grow!

[@oli_kate]

This made my day I was not having a good time and it made me feel a bit better My chronic illness is getting worse/I'm having a really bad flare idk

[@jennifers5560]

❤

[@Nino-xp5df]

Hope you feel a bit better soon.

[@indiecat18]

you’ve got this. ✊🏾

[@auralluring]

something about little kids with accents is just so freaking cute omg

[@nekkidnora]

Rupert is an artist and he's amazing, I adore his dragon dance painting. He's so proud!!!

[@dancingfisch]

What a wonderful video that I know you’ll absolutely love having when he’s older and you can hardly remember this age! Also - the start of a marriage doesn’t have to be the only time you gather your loved ones to profess your commitment to another in beautiful gowns. I think a 10-year anniversary vow renewal (or similar) could be an opportunity for you guys to have a chance to make the decisions that feel more true to you, outside of the expectations of a wedding. And Rupert would be there!! I absolutely loved the idea of Claudia in a stunning white femme suit and my brain immediately pictured her with an undercut. In case that’s something you’ve ever considered, I really think you’d rock it!

[@TashProductions]

I really appreciate the way you phrased your sentences (such as saying that most people have two perants instead of saying all)

[@marieonishenko]

I am having a fall wedding and I am going to wear a burgundy dress, possibly in a lighter velvet fabric. I’m going for a haunted cottagecore look!

[@diediedice]

Even as I'm just imagining it, it will probably be soooooo gorgeous. And cottagecore AND spooky??? Marvelous. Wishing the both of you absolutely the best and a wonderful wedding 🍂👻

[@bugginonthewall]

you both are everything i aspire to be with my future wife❤ if i ever become a mother, your openness with your son and treating his developmental curiosity with dignity is the way i would raise my own. such a beautiful couple! happy pride ❤

[@MDev1997]

Wow, I can't believe Rupert's already nearly 3! He did such a wonderful job and this was the most wholesome content 🥰

[@bohemianmiss6282]

What a sweetheart Rupert is! I have to say, I miss this age. The questions they ask are so interesting. You're both doing a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing your family with us while still protecting your child. Sending love ❤

[@wendyhamm9722]

He is so bright for a 3 year old. Great sense of humor too!

[@Technilogica2019]

every time i see someone have to explain how landlines work i grow another grey hair

[@merg-vh5sx]

He speaks beautifully for such a small little bean. Precious.

[@LatelyFashionable]

Well this was utterly delightful! Rupert asked such thought-provoking questions. Well done! I think you two should have a big celebration for your ten-year anniversary, and wear the outfits you wish you had worn for your wedding!

[@kalayne6713]

What a bright, delightful little one. You are both doing such a good job at parenting. You are naturals.I wish I could go back in the past and parent my three children better. I wish I hadn't been a depressed mother. My children really missed out.

[@marianneshepherd6286]

What a clever and articulate child you have. Some wonderful questions, they got m thinking what would my answers be. I hope Rupert enjoyed asking you both and knowing more about the past etc. ❤

[@StephS40]

I love the way you let Rupert ask questions. He seems to be a very bright little boy.

[@mjb7015]

I love how curious, inquisitive, and intelligent he is. You two are doing an amazing job of raising him.

[@ashtontawton1318]

My daughter is a few months younger than Rupert. It's so lovely watching you go through the similar phases as my family, in terms of language skills our kids seem to be around the same level. So lovely. I am expecting #2 in December. I wish you all the positive baby making luck and love for your ongoing journey with creating a little sibling ❤

[@nordichana]

Ruru is a piece of gold😂😂❤

[@catmacmahon7470]

I couldn't stop smiling the whole video. 🥰 You are such a sweet little family. I love getting to see you both talk with your son and him with you. He is so adorable and you are so sweet to him. He's definitely a good interviewer. Brilliant questions, I don't think I could come up with better ones myself.

[@logo9470]

That was so adorable ! I am so impressed with how articulate Rupert is ❤

[@elizabethmcdonald2569]

Rupert has the sweetest voice ❤ i too would like the postman to bring me energy and motivation, where can i place an order?

[@Bou_Diran]

That was even cuter than I'd expected 😊 I think Rupert has been a wonderful addition to the channel, under your care of course. Thanks for sharing him with the world ❤

[@lornatw]

This is so adorable and the questions he asked- very inquisitive. A short note disregard if you wish, I would try answering his questions with sense based answers such as smells colours feelings and sounds so he can tangibly imagine your stories better and learn the words that describe these experiences at the same time and stay engaged. I’ve got myself all stuck and stumbling on my answers to kids until I used this technique as a teacher trainee and the kids soak up the info so fast and repeat to me days later or make interesting links during unrelated activities!!❤

[@denjahleinson407]

Thank you Rupert fpr asking these are the hard hitting questions that we as a society need answers to!❤

[@nevesp.7777]

I love how you can just tell this little guy has a wonderful personality. Also, I love the way you both discuss death with him, bringing it up in such a natural way. Keep it up, mamas!

[@KaylaChan90]

He is so well spoken and smart for an almost 3 year old! Such good questions from him as well.

[@maaggie1]

How charming and engaging Rupert is! You can see the care and love that have gone into forming your family. It’s hard work, but look at the rewards!

[@Elleby0805]

His little accent is the cutest thing EVER 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@imbluedubbadee]

So wholesome and chaotic 💙🙏🏻

He is a smartie. So cute to see you all

[@hildisvini_9622]

Aww I loved him talking about his dragon painting !! There's people in there but we don't know who because it's a costume 👀🐉

[@callmelivy]

It's fascinating to see what kiddos focus on and process back to you.

[@KarynPeterson]

Rupert's questions made me think of my own answers, my own grandparents, what flowers were like in the ancient past...thank you, Ru!

[@chloemarie7069]

I love how you guys talk to him like an actual human. You don’t baby him

[@ikatmax]

Thank you this video made my day ❤ Rupert is brilliant for a little 2 year old. Thank you this was so sweet ❤

[@judebrown4103]

Well that was adorable! 🥰 Rupert is definitely a precious and precocious child, can't believe he's only two with so much vocabulary and understanding of how to use it. What a little darling.😍🤗🥰

[@Mikelaxo]

He sounds like a smart little fella. My nephew is around the same age and he us starting to become very talkative and inquisitive, but he's growing up bilingual and seems to having a bit of trouble practicing together grammar and speaks in a blend of english and spanish as he doesn't understand there's a difference yet

[@binglemarie42]

That's quite an impressive dragon painting for an almost 3 year old! My nephew is almost 4, and he hasn't mastered anything beyond a colorful tumbleweed. And what a good interviewer!

[@AM-cv9fi]

OMG he's jumping and talking?!? And aww i can hear his baby British accent. So adorable. So big!

[@thebabythesavage]

Claudia talking about hair brushing is KILLING me, girl me too 🥴 My mother has 1A pin-straight hair so she had no idea how to care for my 3B waves, I stopped brushing it daily because it was so awful

[@thomgoblin8725]

This is it. This is the cutest video you've ever made. Well done.

[@katwitanruna]

Very well done! I appreciate how you allowed him to lead and still maintain his privacy. Well done mamas!!

[@jesslikescoffee24]

Oh goodness 🥹 he’s so adorable. You two have been such wonderful moms.

[@Mai_228]

This is literally the sweetest thing I've ever watched
