Grace and Sierra having the time of their lives has tears in my eyes. Good job momma!

[@sierrareyelts1481]

Yes! So sweet!

[@zaideaben]

I love your debrief near the end of the vlog! My therapist told me about how our infant memories are still in our minds, but we just can't... view them? Properly? But our bodies and brains still remember them in their own way, and Grace will still hold on to the joy from these memories, even if she doesn't understand it. I love watching the wonderful way you parent her, it makes my heart so warm, and thank you for sharing with us!

[@whitebirdification]

Not at all a waste. These trips build a happy foundation with amazing bonding time. Memories you'll always treasure 😃

[@farahsfantasyland]

That’s the magic of Disney 🥰🤍

[@michellejohnson2946]

i am a 65 year old lady. i knew i was never meant to have children. never really liked them. i got my tubes tied when i was 27. that being said, i absolutely adore your girl grace. she is a doll. i just wanted you know that she has converted this old lady to one who loves her. that little ha ha she does with stephen when he is on the stairs is priceless

[@blane1180]

Just wanted to say - you are killing it as a mom Sierra. Been following you for many years and couldn’t be prouder of you and all of your accomplishments. You and Grace keep shining your bright lights in this world ❤️ god bless you.

[@katelynhicks1657]

This is absolutely precious!! Sweet memories that will last a lifetime for the both of you. Even if Grace doesn’t remember the specifics, she will remember how loved she felt 🥹 There is nothing like Disney.

[@laurierosendahl]

Never been interested in having kids of my own, but watching Grace become her own little person over the last year has been so much more fun than I ever imagined! 😊

[@samschor]

I know that you’re literally her mom but I love how well you understand Grace and make sure she knows she’s being understood and that what she has to say is important!

[@aliciaroeck5533]

I literally started crying when Grace was SO excited about seeing all of the characters at dinner. Since having my son these types of moments just make me tear up, always!

You truly are built for this stage of motherhood. This might be my favorite vlog of all of vlogmas. ♥️

[@Happilyhaleyafter]

I also agree about bringing babies and toddlers to Disney. I bring my 14 month old girl to Disney world all the time (we are local) and it’s so fun. She might not remember but I will 😊

[@electricpenguin32]

I do not mean this as criticism to you because if I could afford Disney more often I would definitely take advantage of it too! But I think when a lot of people say taking a child that young to Disney is a waste, they are the type of people who can only make a Disney trip possibly once in their child’s lifetime. So they want to wait until they can remember it better. At least that is the experience I had and know is true for others too. But like I said, if I could I would definitely go often! I think kids (and adults) can enjoy Disney for various reasons at all different ages!

[@__sara__.]

That's somewhat true. At the same time, in my experience, my parents have decided to postpone trips/experiences because either my sister or I were "too young to enjoy it to the fullest" and because of circumstances we never ended up doing them and they regretted it. At the same time, they decided to bring me to Disneyland Paris anyway when I was about Grace's age. I don't remember it but they really cherished those memories. And I think if they had let themselves not feel held back by having kids, they would have turned out less bitter and better parents in the long run. So that's something to also take into account in my opinion

[@electricpenguin32]

@@__sara__. I do think that’s a good point. Not all of the experience has to be just for the kids sake, the parents should enjoy the experience of getting to take them too! I think it’s just so hard for a lot of parents to get out of that mindset when it’s a trip many have to save years for.

[@soimsha.]

Def agree. I just looked into a weekend stay for 2 adults and 3 kids, 3 day park ticket, and that was almost 2k. Then take in food costs, travel. It’s expensive

[@KerissaSalas]

I absolutely loved this vlog. I am currently pregnant and watching all the Disney with your little ones vlogs and you just made me so excited for when I bring my little one. Getting to see you two together and the excitement in both of you just made me smile the whole video. Everyone tells me to wait to take my kid to Disney but I agree in the moment getting to see the joy in them and capturing these moments for her to look back on is more then enough of me. Thank you for allowing us to see how your trip went you really made me so excited!!

[@JulieNick28]

JOY. a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. Sierra you bring this not only to your daughter and family but to all of us. Thank you for sharing these moments.

[@patriciahamel5674]

I agree that this is a great age for Disney. The early Toddler years have always been a favorite of mine. Kids are so interested in everything and excited, and they love to learn and can communicate pretty well, but they haven’t yet gotten to the stubbornness that comes with the terrible twos. For the voice: Harney and Sons hot Cinnamon Sunset tea plus a spoon full of orange blossom honey stirred in. It’s my go to for voice and throat issues.

[@zachzackzak]

Grace is the perfect disney baby, I always thought that it was a waste but all the videos of Grace at Disney have changed my mind.

[@MadelineTea]

Pregnant and watching this while on the treadmill is making me so excited for outings with my little one someday soon 🥹

This was the sweetest and purest thing ever! This was so magical! The only time I went to Disney I was 4 and I remember majority of it. I know she will cherish it the vlogs when she’s older.

[@amyb1993]

If Grace enjoyed the story times at the hotel you should consider getting a Tonies box. It's a little speaker that you put little toys on the top and the toys tell a story through the speaker with songs etc too. My little brother loves his.

[@erzebetb]

responding to an older video, remember when grace was born, you couldn't believe the depth of love you had? same with child 2. you won't believe how your heart expands even further to love them just as much. same with any subsequent kids, it's just magical. do it in your own time, tho, no pressure here!! lol

[@StevieeeRae]

I love seeing the Disney content again. Gives me my fix when I can’t be there.

[@nicolewilkinson5857]

The way you and Steven are with Grace is almost identical to how my sister and brother in law are with my nieces and they’re the best ever! I can tell Grace is soooo much like them! My husband and I always say if we have kids we want to do whatever my sister and brother in law do and now I say I want to do what you do too!

I look forward to this day too 🥰

[@yosra9781]

as someone who studies development psychology, I've always disliked the "they're not going to remember it, so why do it?" rhetoric because ages 0-3 are still integral to development regardless of whether the child remembers that stage or not. while grace may not remember her interactions with characters and cast members, she'll always remember your encouragement of her and the undivided attention you give her in those moments and that will set your relationship up to what it will be in the future. these moments are IMPORTANT. I hope you both enjoy them!

[@breealexander3924]

I can’t believe how big she is. What an awesome mother/ daughter day!

[@kristinamadden1468]

The fact that there's still THAT many people up and ready with YOUNG children before 7am is just mind boggling to me. Y'all go HARD man lol

[@fionashaw9097]

If we lived nearby I would definitely take our son to Disney at this age. Also, yes, she statistically won't remember all of it, but my earliest memory is from about that age and its a bad one, so you may as well give her good experiences because she may very well remember them and that way she'll have something happy to look back on!

[@nicholemartin2865]

Not a waste at all! Disney magic is so special. I just got back from our annual trip with my two girls (5 yrs and 14 months). I absolutely love seeing the parks through their eyes. Even if they won’t remember, I will! ❤❤❤

[@kmerr1625]

I think the idea of bringing your kids to Disney when they're a bit older is more from families that will probably only have the opportunity to go once or twice in their lifetimes so they want to make sure it's something their kids remember. But it makes perfect sense for you to be taking Grace, you're both having a great time!

[@jocelynmorales2310]

You look so exhausted before dinner I would’ve just passed out 😅 props to you Sierra

[@biancarosato5904]

I HATE when people say “it’s a waste they won’t remember it”. Sure, she won’t remember a play by play. But she will remember the bond you’re building with her, and that lasts a lifetime. Plus, we all have random memories as children that our parents are shocked we remember. I vividly remember a hurricane when I was little, and how we had to prepare the house for the storm, I can recount every detail. When I told my parents that, they were shocked because I was only 18months old. You never know what’s going to stick!

[@mosaic2476]

I have DID, so while my experiences are the result of horrific things, I want to assure you that Gracie will remember. I can consciously remember moments of being a baby, even younger than her. She might not be able to consciously recall these experiences, but the implicit memories will live within her for the rest of her life and inform so much of how she navigates her daily life.

[@nieshiagaskins5240]

Grace is so sweet and you’re spirit is just lovely! I’m having a mommy and me Disneyland trip with my daughter in April for my birthday. She’ll be 20 mths by then and this video just made me even more excited! 🖤

When my little girl was 18months we took her to a gruffalo world (her absolute favourite thing) so many people told me not to waste my money as she'd forget about it within a week, but it was honestly our favourite trip and totally worth it! 6month on and she still asks to go back and to look at the photos, never underestimate those little minds! While I know they likely will forget at some point they'll never forget how much they were loved and the love they have for their favourite things 🥰

[@RanndiMarie01]

I agree with you Sierra about bringing younger kids to Disneyland/world. My parents waited until I was 12, my little sister 9 and by that time it just wasn’t the same in a sense that I knew the characters weren’t real and my mom still wanted me to take photos with all of them. lol The rides were fun, but now that I’m 30, I honestly don’t really remember much anyway. I have like 2 snippets of memories from my time at Disney world and I was 12, so honestly bring your child at any age! 😂

The comment about Grace being the perfect age is what my mom said about my first trip to Disney when I was 3 and my brother was 1. We wouldn't remember it but that trip was really for her to see the joy and wonder in our eyes at every ride and meet and greet. I cannot wait to take my first kid to Disney World 🥰. I want to go more often but if I need to limit our experiences, I want to take my kids when they are under 2, 5, 10, 15, and 21 :)
