OMG❗️ Mikko’s internet aunties are SO PROUD❣️ Who is cutting onions⁉️

[@mamaaw6367]

My husband and I watched this video and I teared up. Mama, I have not been watching all of your video's, but I can remember when you first introduced Mikko to us on KZbin, I remember praying and saying, (I cannot remember the full prayer) but I know a line was please help Mikko - and God has answered my prayer. God has shown me through your narrative how great HE really is and how faith can move all mountains......I have watched albeit periodically Mikko become MAGNIFICIENT, INDPENDENT, KIND, KNOWLEDGEABLE and quite simply OUTSTANDING. Mikko is going to be just fine - in fact more than fine, she is going to be AMAZINGLY AWESOME🙏🏾

Well said!!❤

That 1st day is harder for parents.. 99% of the time the children are having a blast.. My 1st day my Dad sat in the car park of the school from start to finish... I'm his only child and he didn't want me to think he was abandoning me... Me I had a blast oblivious to his pain... Mikko has changed so much in the last year due to you guys.. She will do great and you will soon adjust as her parents 🙏💖🇦🇺

[@naturalscratcher9498]

She’s so confident brought a tear to my eye to see how independent she is .. its wonderful!!Because people try to underestimate autism and I’m glad they didn’t

[@SillyLilJesterWithABowTie]

@naturalscratcher9498 exactly! I'm a triplet and My brother is a non-verbal autistic. the topic isn't new to me. My father never stood around. Left for Florida when the three of us and my mom when we were 2. I would help my mom. Co-parent. While she watched over my brother me and my sister would clean the house and do moms chores. I remember going to school with my brother and I was relentlessly bullied because my brother had autism. It sucks because people don't know how smart he really is.

[@lilmissleesa]

I IMMEDIATELY started crying when you asked Mikko "How do you feel?" and she said "HAPPY!" 🥹🥹😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 The Internet TT's are in SHAMBLES!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

LETS GO MIKKO YOU GOT THIS GIRL ❤️😁

[@debrafabac8776]

I don’t know why but I cry each time I watch your amazing videos. Not because the tasks are some overwhelming , groundbreaking, Herculean, out of this world difficult endeavours…. But because they are mundane , daily, expected, routine “chores” … st least they are for most families. But not yours… just those few tasks can destroy your day, your mood. Yet, still, you both do them with such incredible care, patience, honor, compassion, gentleness, with incredible detail, with genuine deep love. It’s in absolutely everything you both do for her. Every single day. I don’t think you’re told often enough how amazing you both are. How incredibly patient you both are. How the depth of love you have for , and show to your precious daughter even during such a mundane task as teeth brushing. Your life is NOT easy. It’s very hard in fact, but you both make it look so effortless so often. You’re both truly, truly heros . Mikko is beyond blessed to have you both as parents. I just wanted to give you a special shout out for all you do , and for letting complete strangers into your house, your hearts, your minds as you navigate this very difficult time. You’re both an inspiration to countless others and I just cannot say it enough : you are amazing people!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
