[@fibers.and.threads-Sarah]

Oh my goodness....you have had to learn patience and responses and have done it so well. Props to you for loving your sweet Jess so very much that you choose to do the best for her each day. ♡ I've been enjoying catching up on all your videos.

[@ellenmarie3294]

Jess did such an excellent job with her medications & making her own food!! Val, you are such a fabulous mother! ❤ I enjoy watching all your vids! 😊

[@Shaping_Serenity]

Val I hope you thoughly enjoy your birthday tomorrow it will be nice to see you busy fussed over like you diserve 💗

[@Shaping_Serenity]

[@dst1667]

Thank you for sharing 💙.

[@ElizabethWest90]

Thank you for your honesty, Val❤❤ I saw someone post on your last video that each day must be a combination of joy and stress...seems like a good description 💕 It means a lot to get to see your stressed/tired side in addition to the joy...thank you!

[@Shaping_Serenity]

Yes, it’s a combo of both for sure. Some days are definitely more difficult, and through no fault of Jess really.

[@darlahenson2734]

Your an Awesome Mom Val Love you an Jess. Great job at filling your meds i had to do that when my Mom an Dad was still here. PS Happy Birthday Val may your day be Amazing

[@Shaping_Serenity]

Thank you!

[@staciesaladin3383]

Val- Do you think part of the reason why Jess self talks or asks the same questions is because she is speaking her internal thoughts out loud? Also to talk herself through things because of anxiety and the need for reassurance?

[@Shaping_Serenity]

Yes, all of that in addition to echolalia.

[@kelliemorales4763]

Oh my goodness Val, I love the “donkey” emoji you put up for coverage 😂😂😂... I love you and Jess soooo much 💕💕

[@Shaping_Serenity]

😄 My arse was looking extra huge with the combo of the wide angle lens & my pjs. 😂

[@ashleywitzman289]

Val we can all say how adorable and cute Jess is but I could see where it could drain you!You handle yourself very well❤️Jess is very blessed that God chose you to be her Mother💕❤️

[@snics0619]

You're such an incredible Momma! I hope I am even a third of the mother you are! Jessica (and your other babies) are so lucky to have you! God bless you all! ❤❤❤

[@andreagalvin7386]

😂😂😂 counting when counting matters 😂😂😂

[@geraldinemoloney3706]

I agree with Denise S, you are super patient Val. Jess is learning all the time and I love how you include her when sometimes it could be easier to just do it more quickly yourself xx

[@nancyalmonte6334]

I’m usually kinda grumpy in the morning & because of my anxiety, I choose not to drink coffee every morning, maybe three times a week only... it’s not easy but you got this Val ♥️♥️ you’re only human ♥️♥️

[@mamapenny7744]

I'm not a morning person ever Val...but hey Jess you're Miss Independence today!! Yayyy

[@siobhanreid7785]

Morning moods are everything.... my husband is a chatty Johnny in the mornings and I can’t stand it. 🥴 I have to tell him most days to stop!!! I NEED A COFFEE FIRST! Seriously! With you and Jess in this video it seems like you’re just tired and would rather not talk. (I get it) Jess on the other hand is all about it... ❤️it’s hard especially when you’re living with your kids or spouses... it’s hard! And you especially yourself with Jess who needs the answers immediately, you can’t just shut down and be by yourself. I feel ya. You’re an angel. You’re all angels in my eyes. And your tone is so soothing, There’s no wonder Jess loves you so much. There’s always going to be tough days and good days 💕 She sure managed that medication arranging near perfection. Good job nurse Jess! ❤️ The hardest job is being a Mom... but the blessings are endless. Summer is almost here and I think that’ll lift everyone’s moods ☀️ 🏊🏻‍♀️ 💦

[@sarahcrissman5962]

You are definitely a saint! I lovee watching you your the best momma a girl could ask for!! So proud of u ❤

[@donnahallock3319]

I understand I'm a grump in the morning you handle things way better than I would ♥️ your a good one Mom.

[@Mrs_Carver]

This might be my favorite video so far. It’s so similar to my life. Thank you for being candid. You’re amazing, Val 💛

[@prosecute1966]

As a foodie, I have convinced myself that I won't ever truly be happy until I have Breville toaster oven like yours in my life. I'm just sayin'.

[@Shaping_Serenity]

😄 I’m so thankful for it!

[@lindasansone3345]

Val has tobe the MOST PATIENT, KINDEST ,AND SWEETEST LADY IN THE SOUTH 🥰🌷🌷🌷

[@saskia964]

I love the choices and honesty of your sharing 💜 We can all learn from this idea of being mindful and purposeful 💜

[@Shaping_Serenity]

Thank you, friend! 💜

[@siennaprice1351]

I’m on the autism spectrum myself. I also have complex PTSD. And I have a physical disability that I don’t dare share publicly. A lot of the times in the morning, I’m very grumpy because of my CPTSD. I’m constantly having flashbacks and intrusive thoughts. And I don’t want to talk about what’s bothering me. I’d rather just bottle it up. I don’t really let my autism stop me from living my daily life. But the CPTSD can be a curse. And sometimes the physical disability that I have can be a curse. But I do try to force myself and make myself have a good day and be happy 24/7 no matter what.

[@joannegrayston5079]

You are amazing val x

[@autisticrebornmommy]

Your so independent and I love watching all ur videos

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Good video. Continue on your road on getting that Silver Play Button

[@tabithacaston4019]

God love you Val! Patience of Job❤

[@56jrudy]

So sorry for Jess. I take a lot of meds. It is not fun. I

[@Michelle-zx9mu]

Thank you again for sharing and teaching us. Both of you. I would have to switch sides for the fridge handles 😊 It’d make me frustrated. Just that shows your patience compared to me. 🥰

[@Shaping_Serenity]

I need someone to help me with that! 😂 I’ve been meaning to ever since I got that fridge.

[@Michelle-zx9mu]

KZbin 😉 You can get a degree there these days, pretty much, LOL

[@LisaMarieLove1]

Val your amazing mother! Jess is so blessed to have you 💖💖 your blessed to have one another!

[@elainewhitelock5347]

You have such patience Val. I don't know how u cope each day for staying so calm. X

[@taraconstance84]

God knew exactly what he was doing when he chose you to be her Mom. Give yourself grace. You do an exceptional job and are incredibly selfless. Thanks for sharing your lovely family.

[@melindabarefoot4612]

I find myself silently being her cheering section as she does something on her own, that she thought she needed your help with. As I watch, I'm thinking...You got this. That's it. Keep going...You're doing great!!! Way to go Jess with breakfast!!!

[@Toffee146]

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it, Val. You are the most amazing mother. You really are. I wish I lived closer, so I could give you some respite. Does Jess understand when you say "you have to wait a minute", or if you tell her you need a few minutes peace? I can't imagine how mentally and physically exhausting it must be, to take care of Jess, night and day, every single day. You are the most amazing mother and caring person I've ever come across. 💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜 Sending love and hugs to you from Sheffield, England. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@Shaping_Serenity]

Yes, Jess does understand wait,

[@donnagrimes4323]

I go in the kitchen get a big cup of coffee and go back to my bedroom. Until I drink it. Then I start my day. Everyone knows not to bother me.

[@cherylesorey1012]

Hang in there Mom. You do a fantastic job. Being the main care giver is a lot of work. Just remember to take time for your self.

[@lolitathompson2267]

😂 Lord, I can SO relate to this video! First thing in morning.... I just need shhhh🤫 until I get my coffee & sit quietly to get woke up! I’m sorry but I don’t spring out of the bed as chatty Kathy. It takes me a minute! Give it to me!! 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂

[@pvcapps]

And you do it perfectly!! Love your shirt Jess!!!!

[@frogtoes4011]

the most patient human being is momma Val. Even when she is sleepy!

[@darciehatt9088]

Hi Val I’m darcie’s daughter Clara and I’m 9 I just want to say I absolutely love you guys and I appreciate all of your videos I hope you have a great day and stay safe💖💖💖

[@Shaping_Serenity]

❤️ Thank you!

[@brettandkelseyray1049]

I hate seeing you having to do it all alone constantly! I wish I could keep my tone calm all the time with my babies. You are so amazing and an inspiration for the parent I want to be! It doesn’t go unnoticed! ♥️ I hope she can Start getting more weekend sleepovers with Hannah and dad I couldn’t handle my husband not taking my kids for normal weekend parent stays if we weren’t together. You need a full day to sleep in and enjoy your coffee and morning show

[@Shaping_Serenity]

I’m hoping to get back to those weekend visits soon.

[@bethwilson8770]

Awesome job!!!

[@ashleybarnard2538]

Val I really admire u as a mother. To some ppl they may see ur family with Jessica's autism a curse or something negative but I don't see it like that. Its ur life and as a mother we will do what is best for us. I also love to see that u and Jess are so close and even when times are hard and stressful u still come out to me as a strong and amazing mom.

[@kathyb.978]

I’m a new subscriber and am happy I found your channel. I simply love your family. I don’t know if you have ever discussed this before (if you have, I apologize), but I’m curious as to what medications Jess takes (what they are for). Jess, you did great organizing your meds. Val, you are an amazing mom.

[@Shaping_Serenity]

Thank you! Jess takes meds for anxiety, hypertension, and sleep.

[@KeepingItHopeful]

Great job Jess! Great job to you as well Val. Y’all make a great team!

[@alexthesaintbernardlover5938]

[@ritasue6866]

Val I know this has to to exhausting, it's exhausting just watching. As a grandparent dealing with autism grandchild , i understand. And I know adding the blindness is overwhelming. God bless you and jess

[@jessicadry]

Out of curiosity, what medication does Jess take each day? Names of possible. Just because I suffer badly with anxiety too but I’m just on sertraline and I’m wondering if I need more etc

[@Shaping_Serenity]

Jess takes sertraline, as well as buspirone.

[@sandrabassett6422]

You look like sisters and can act as much, thank you for a small look into your life xxxx

[@Shaping_Serenity]

❤️

[@dorotheakey2226]

I laughed when Jess said "oh geez", lol. She's so cute!!!

[@Crews-sd1xc]

She is precious no doubt

[@cerezacereza8478]

Jess is so lovely 😊

[@coreyvandyke528]

she cheated she put two down and said one and then she said four twice😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@allysonbruce554]

May be due to her vision impairment

[@rhiverlandsong]

Orb passes between the two of y'all when opening medicine tabs at 6:33, 6:34.

[@Brave_Rachel]

Jess was naughty when counting her crispies ! 😂

[@bananasmenopause9285]

Even if I love love love my special needs child/adult more than life, I would still feel a resentment that it couldn’t be about me just sometimes....and then I’d feel guilty for feeling that resentment....and that’d happen over and over. But that’s just me. Probably tried this.....set an alarm for 10 minutes when waking up ....zero talking / light wake-up music

[@nancyalmonte6334]

#staystrong

[@faithfulmiracles]

How does she respond if you say, "I love you so much but Mama needs some quiet time."?

[@pvcapps]

Val, i think about how Jess has NO Idea what she puts you through!!

[@lacefla]

Just who are the ugly people who dislike your videos? Sheesh. Just move on unhappy humans😓.
