Who I Endorsed | Ep 265

[@glamgal28]

Family man Deric is waking up happy this morning 😁

[@evirgil84]

That was literally my first thought when I woke up this morning & saw Trump won! 🤣

[@shonb5548]

From an early childhood educator who worked with toddlers in a classroom, get on Thomas’ eye level, model, and say “Gentle hands.” You’ll have to google how to show him gentle hands because it’s hard to describe it 😂

[@rachelyoder6373]

So good to see Katie back. My sons are similar age gaps and Thomas is normal! Toddler's are hard, especially toddler boys!

[@evirgil84]

Awe Eva is so adorable! ❤️ Also Katie, I totally have gotten my kids actual birthday confused with their due date. Happens to the best of us. 😉

[@evirgil84]

My son was 18 months old when my daughter was born. One time, he wanted to play catch with her so threw her a ball, which of course hit her in the face. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It is hard because you know they’re not trying to be mean or evil, they just don’t understand how fragile the baby is. But I think having a very serious tone & then taking the toy he accidentally injured her with is helpful. And I remember I said SOO many times “be soft and gentle” and “don’t hit your sister” and had him rub her head very gently. They’re 17 & 16 now so she did survive. 😉 Trey & Katie you seem like such intentional parents, you’ll figure it out. Also, there are some “old school” parenting techniques that do just work, like what Trey did with the pouch, so I definitely used some of those too. Raising kids is such an adventure!

[@glamgal28]

raising kids isn't for the weak, but wouldn't trade it for nothing 😍

[@GypsyDreams81]

We had our son first, they r 15mnths apart lol and as u were telling this flashbacks came flooding back😂 they r 17&18 now and have been insanely close, it is an age he has awareness enough attention isnt 100% him anymore. We were told this was totally normal as well-he made a "few" attempts but the novelity wore off and he found a new focus❤

[@rebeccaalbright6776]

Trey, I love your singing voice! Your little bit of the ballgame song had a holiday feel to it. Like something classic. Please do a Christmas album… please and thank you!!

[@peggys430]

Cozy Earth! I was visiting a friend & at the last minute, while leaving, she asked if I wanted some clothes she was going to drop off at charity. I had enough sweatshirts, but I was polite & took them. I put one on when I got home & OMG, it was amazing! It said Cozy Earth inside so I looked it up & I can't get over it. It's all I want to wear. She gave me 2 sets of the loungewear. Now, I want the sheets. & your offer is 40% off! Seriously... I'm 65 & never imagined a garment could feel like this.

[@abbyhosey]

Please add a Prosecco to your Basic Wine options! I'm pretty sure Tracy likes mimosas and she would 100% endorse this.

[@bluebean75]

I had a boy 1st also and then twin boys. My oldest was 2 years and 2 months old when they were born. He also was nice sometimes and other times would try to step on the babies when they were laying on the floor. You are not doing anything wrong! I think that might be their way to show they are a little jealous they don't have mom's full attention anymore. Fun fact: he always expressed in later years he wishes he was an only child. Personality factors in as well I think! My oldest likes quiet and order and our house of 5 kids is mostly the exact opposite. Lol! Best of luck working with Thomas! He will get it! 😀

[@TimeWithBekka]

Do not google if you're parenting correctly. 😂 You'll get every controversial opinion on the planet and you'll think you're doing everything right and wrong at the same time. I encourage you guys to reach out to parents who you respect or who have well-behaved kids and ask them for advice. You'll be surprised to find some helpful methods you didn't even think of before and a willingness to help with practical issues! Also I recommend "Parenting with Loving Correction" by Sam Crabtree. Was a game changer for us! I've got a 4 year old daughter who is like a boy and she had a sister 15 months younger than her so I can surprisingly relate haha

[@peggys430]

I'm 65 & before I had kids, I asked a coworker whose teenager was awesome, what her 'secret' was. I got the book & it's a classic & a game changer! (I actually stayed married a couple years longer because of the communication skills) "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen & Listen, so Kids Will Talk". The same authors also wrote "Siblings Without Rivalry". They are 33 & 30, best friends (boy & girl) both are engineers, & well adjusted adults.

[@vboitchenko]

This is amazing. Katie’s face during the Rizzler segment. 😂😂

[@stephanibrooks8006]

Chock was the longtime boyfriend of our neighbor who passed away about one & a half years ago. He backed into our daughter’s car one time as he was leaving her house & was super great about getting it fixed right away. Hope he finds happiness!

[@glamgal28]

Trey says let me switch to Christmas but Tracy says fall all year long.. Enjoyed the first episode of Tracy Talks 😍 She needs Katie on as a guest

[@melissacarr6355]

Katie, I definitely have moments where I forget the kids bdays. Just today I had my son at the Dr. The nurse asked for his birthday I just started at her then blurted out JUNE 😮 ... ... (Nothing) 22 (!) ... ... (Year) Not sure what happened. 😅

[@mistymoments89]

I do this same thing with my kids! I have to pause in order to not blurt out my birthday! Lol.

[@chloecarr1]

Thomas is still very young and learning. There is nothing wrong with him.

[@Shnabop]

Golf clubs can be an OUTSIDE toy for a while! Toddler boy, it’s what they do!

[@alysham.7318]

Yeah the goof club thing sounds right. He’s adjusting to the new sister and his brain isn’t really even sure what she is….and he’s testing boundaries to see if he’s safe and still involved. Be firm, and maybe take the golf clubs away for a while and remind him why they’re gone? Let him help with the baby and try to instill the brotherly protective streak? Let him know that he has a mission of helping you keep her safe. Lots of love to you guys!

[@alysham.7318]

[@lacedingracephoto]

As someone who lives in dallas, the pumpkin lady is POPULAR. Definitely works in the richest neighborhood 😂

[@ginakkarow89]

Eva looks so much like Thomas!

[@khanyisilekambule4202]

such a first world thing, buying pumpkins to decorate with, only to throw them away later lol😂

[@cassieb.]

I don’t have kids myself, but my niece and nephew are about the same ages as Thomas and Eva. Most of the time he’s sweet, but sometimes he wants to bite her. 🤷‍♀️

[@val_smiling]

We vote at a gas station. 😂

[@peggys430]

In Minnesota, I don't know ANY conservatives that I play with! Most people don't talk about it. I play at Lifetime & most people are rich. One time, we had a "right handed team vs left handed team" & I pointed it out & my partner said he was on the wrong team, then. (I tried to play reeeealy well, but we lost) anyway... just occurred to me 🤔 the candidates having a PB match 😂

[@abbers9542]

Katie, my husband also cannot smell anything 😂 we have 2 kids 22 months apart and our daughter definitely was violent toward our son at times.. getting much better now that they’re almost 2 and 4😅

[@MrsKutcherMusic]

Big T, baby 🎉

[@rachellinehan1255]

The ccootd girl is my cousin and she did have a video where you husband was carrying. The reason she as well as many Christian’s carry is that there are a lot of shootings not just at schools but there have been more at churches.

[@englarian1017]

9:38 yes!!!! You're not doing anything wrong! Toddler boys becoming big brothers is a serious hazard!!! It is truly disturbing. And the "psychopath" word feels very appropriate.

[@sarahbarrett7732]

Raise a Little Hell was very popular where I grew up in Canada!

[@natalieheinrich1746]

It is the correct way. If they always win over they know. They aren't just toddlers. They are very smart. Most brain is established by 5. So don't underestimate what they know and can learn. I have 4! 13:28

[@glamgal28]

absolutely

[@breaking_reflections7461]

It’s all normal for the hitting. My daughter is 2 and my son is 10 she beats up her brother for no reason! We had to start time out early! We do timeout where we all are so we do send her to her room air away. And there’s a rule for them so a minute for every year they are so my daughter gets 2 minutes on a timer which was a game changer as well! Trial and errors really! My son is my step Son so I’m a new mom as well 😅

[@craigthiery1623]

I know a lot of people who carry in church 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

[@bell.videography]

Same 😂

[@evirgil84]

@@craigthiery1623 Yeah I thought it was normal to have at least ushers who do.

[@whaajls33838]

First 5 seconds I thought was Bryce Hall

[@AfricanDaisy_87]

I saw something recently that said, instead of saying don’t hit, the toddlers only listen to the last thing you said, for examples the word “hit” So instead of saying, don’t hit redirect them to what you want them to do,

[@meganmoore8810]

Real trees are the way to go!!

[@StephanieBogart]

Trump! 🇺🇸

[@ashleydvorak8207]

Our previous pastor loved when my husband came to church in uniform, knowing he was carrying during the service :)

[@kellyschuldt5503]

Raisin Gran 😂

[@emmabell0602]

Katie, I was with a friend last week who forgot her 8-day old baby’s middle name. No judgment here 😂🙏🏻

[@CherryPoptart90]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’m happy JD Vance is by Trumps side. ❤🎉 here’s to the next four years! 🥂 🍻 Edit: had to come back and put my stars! 😊

We saw you on Timcast. I already knew!

[@thousandfootdeepend1278]

Wait- who was on Timcast?? I haven't watched regularly in a while. Lol

[@robertjeffery8045]

You were right Trey! RFK won! lol.

To all Americans I offer my Sympathy

[@LulaMo38]

This is an awful day.

[@femmechanic1931]

Awfully wonderful 😁

[@kimberlyqueen2854]

If God used David to rule as King with his awful past, He can use Trump to be an amazing president. It's called Grace.

[@natalieheinrich1746]

Trump!!!! 🇺🇸🙏🏼🎉
