„Ant on Sylvie“ omg that was cute ☺️

[@loispatrick2594]

I love how your kids at this young age have already developed a great sense of who they are and aren't concerned about what others think! If only the rest of the world took this concept to heart as well.

[@samu6874]

These children are in the unique situation that they do not need to care that much. They have their sibling, they are homeschooled, they have parents at home full time, they arent exposed to a jugdy peergroup or afraid to be bullied all the time. Its so nice to see how children actually can develope

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Kids don’t normally care what others think until they get around other kids who have an influence on them along with social media. That is why it’s important to watch who they hang out with and watch in tv and such.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

@@samu6874they will still have kids they play with and so on but it’s up to mom and dad to be sure the people they do hang out with are good and have similar values. Not all parents can be home all the time or homeschool so it’s important to know who your kids friends are and to teach your kids good self esteem so they are not so influenced by other kids

[@samu6874]

@@nancyfarkas3592 of course! You can do a lot as parents. Still its easier for children with siblings to look up to who were raised along with them. I am compairing it to my kids. They have to go to school. And not just any school. They must attend the elementary school closest to their home. That put a lot of pressure on us to move to a special place to meet their needs (my son is gifted, there are no programs at schools). Of course its expensive as hell to live here. So we both need to work, drive the younger one across town to (the only available) daycare. And still... yes they have a good education but values and behaviour is so bad with Kids here. Rich Kids, rich parents, throwing money on everything. A nightmare. My son would be very lonely and therefore would try to get along with others by copying behaviour if he hadnt siblings to play with. and a teacher as parent that is home for holidays so theres no need for care.

[@theresacormier3253]

Well I think I would be afraid that when they have to work they won’t have their sibblings and or parents to care or look out for them it may be difficult for some of them to cope with others not so well brought up !

[@jasmineelliott9525]

Birdie looked so much like Rufus when she first woke up from her nap !♡ love that Evan is happy to wear what he wants and not worry about what other people think ♡

[@Amber-ghini]

I love how you speak to the young ones especially. Even though some parents might have pulled coco away from the ropes to say he's too young or it's not safe you encouraged him to try and used mature language to tell him to watch pearl and try to instruct him. ♡ gives him the option to try!

[@nancyfarkas3592]

True but he clearly was too young to understand the concept of holding onto the rope while climbing.

[@Amber-ghini]

@@nancyfarkas3592 maybe but all kids develop at different stages. I'd rather offer and explain at too high of a level than to possibly discourage by moving the child away or redirecting them.

[@timetraveller9992]

Chloe, your hair is a lovely length, it now frames your face, you really suit it 😃

[@heatherengert-1089]

I think you guys are the best parents, I was a teacher for many years, and I've never seen children grow intellectually as yours in their year's. Well done, guys

[@autumnstuff]

We love Crocs! Evan's reaction is gold, secure in his choices without worrying about what people think, you guys are raising such lovely kids 💜

[@stefanievavrek9871]

Sweet Henry, He's so quiet and gentle

[@jenniferromero571]

Actually all that peace and love doesn't change anything. There is evel everywhere and there has to be someone to protect the ones in their own bubble.

[@marykay2484]

I cannot say it enough, you and Ro are doing such an amazing job parenting these 9 good little humans.

[@jasmineelliott9525]

Ant on sylvie! My favourite quote so far lol 😆 ♡ so precious

[@isabelpeixotto]

I love how attentive and caring they are with what you talk it's a shoe and they are super invested because mum liked them! It's amazing.

[@kathrynreissauthor]

Be sure to log all that Outdoor Time on your mandala! You asked about ages of naps... We have seven kids (mostly grown now) and they stopped napping at all different ages. Usually by their third birthday for most, for sleeping... but until they were five or six and in school, we would always have Rest Time for about half an hour, where they'd take a sippy-cup or bottle of water to bed with a book and just lie and read for a while. With the younger ones that would often turn into a nap for an hour or more! But the trick was to call it Rest Time rather than Nap Time, and no one protested. I made each kid a soft flannel "Reading Blanket" that they would wrap up in! (Some even took these off to university!). 3 of our 7 came to us by birth, and 4 by adoption...at different ages... and having a special blanket and a set Rest Time seemed to be welcomed by everyone. But not if you call it Nap Time! (Kids think they're missing out on something if they're sleeping!). We also found that bedtime went easily when there was a routine in place: dinner, dog walk (with kids on scooters or bikes) around the neighborhood, rain or shine, then baths, songs, and a story or chapter. Then into bed with a book--read for a half hour if you want--and then lights out.

[@marydabbadie1175]

What a beatiful..moment,watching all the kids running and playing,in the park. So blessed to have each other. Such a special family..

[@user-gk-y8t]

I love it when you have discussions with all the children. They are all so beautiful and have a gentle, warm energy, which I adore.

[@justjacki]

Oh my goodness, seeing Cosmo play in the park sure warmed my heart ❤ The children are all exquisite

[@dnothnagel7649]

@chloeandbeans YOU and Ro are SO BLESSED! Thank you again for sharing your BEAUTIFUL family and your journey with us

[@catistokes]

I love watching your kiddos enjoying the park, running in the grass, and the triplets are reading so well! ❤

[@Bloem777]

In my country (the Netherlands) people used to walk on wooden clogs (mostly farmers). I've had them too as a child. People thought that was strange ór special (tradition). Crocs are much better than clogs, nice and soft. You have to wear what you like and feel comfortable in. A lot of hospital workers like crocs too here. They fit well and you can wash them.

[@judykelly5358]

If you like them that's what matters - I've not had real crocs but have had several pairs of the cheaper version - so comfortable xx

[@MuhKuh885]

Felix is such a gorgoes kid! All of them are. And your new hairstyle looks so beautiful, Chloe.

[@katherinegibson740]

I absolutely lovemy crocs, my son had them when he was 2 they were his favorite. They are great for the summer going into the water they dry fast. You guys should be absolutely proud of how well your children love and care about eachothers feelings and helping each other. The triplets look so different from eachother, genes are amazing.

[@katieashmore3279]

My son stopped naps at right around 3 ❤ Your kiddos are just lovely 🥰 You can see the loving parenting that’s been put into them 😊

[@JYYB]

We like crocs too! I use to never like them but oh boy they are super comfy!!!! 🤣 My husband like them too! My 7 year son loves them..he always wear them for summer. The beach, water and just going outside. I live in Wisconsin, let me tell you the snow does not stop people from wesr crocs 😂 they even have soft linned crocs for cold weather. Our kiddos stop at 1 years old. No more naps they would just cry and cry so i give up and let them have no naps. They would good great

[@moca4545]

In Italy usually kids stop napping at 5 years old, right before starting school. The last year of preschool the big kids do quiet activities while the little ones are napping. That's because school starts at 8 am and finishes at 4.30 pm, and with after school activities and homework they couldn't nap even if they wanted too.

[@nancyarsenault3876]

5 years old ending naps; wow that’s old

[@moca4545]

​@@nancyarsenault3876 yes, but consider that bed time is no earlier than 9.30 pm

[@debrabeaumont3330]

Our children are grown, but we have six. They all napped until at least three. After they stopped they had quiet time after lunch. This gave them an opportunity to fall asleep if they were actually sleepy. When I was a child I was required to take a nap after I got home from Kindergarten. Kindergarten was half day at that time. I didn't like the idea, but I always fell asleep. As anyone who has more than one child knows, all kids are different. You two are doing a great job with yours. Sending my best and blessings to you and your lovely family. Debbie

[@veronicahambidge906]

the way your daughter, Pearl looks at you is precious, she hangs off your every word. so special.

[@angelineleong44]

Delighted to see all 9 kids playing together!

[@robynsutton4848]

My kids always had a lay down after lunch right up until they started school. They didn’t didn’t have to sleep but were expected to lay on their beds and could play quietly or read/draw etc for an hour. It was really good for them to learn it’s ok to occupy yourself and enjoy your own company and really good for me to have an hour to sit quietly or run around and get those extra jobs done.

[@theresacormier3253]

SYLVIE and Birdie are like Evan, they have too much to explore !

[@elsa8577]

My heart is full 💓 love love seeing the triplets read

[@gracefarm394]

You find the most beautiful places to.take the children. Isn't it wonderful to see what they learn outdoors.

[@Orangejuice2313]

My 11 year old daughter lives in crocs, I hope she continues to be herself and be comfortable without anyone saying anything mean (as kids sometimes do at that age)

[@laraleini4956]

A guy at my university is wearing yellow crocs every day, just because he likes them 😅

[@brown2796]

You push the band forward for 2 wheel drive. Which is for casual walking. You flip the band backward for 4 wheel drive or sport mode. This always you to run, or kick someone’s ass when they talk about you for wearing crocs. I use 4 wheel drive the most! 😂😂

[@lindaoakley2512]

You guys are all part of such an incredibly beautiful family & I love that you share your daily lives with us - it’s so hard to believe that you’ve just turned 30 Chloe (not sure how old Ro is but a little bit older I think?!) You’re so grounded & are raising the most loving, caring & thoughtful kids, not to mention the fact that they’re so well educated (kudos to you guys once again!) - the thought that they’ll grow up together with each other + their amazing parents around them must be so wonderful to imagine & I can’t wait to see what they all end up doing …. ♥️💜💚🧡💙💛

[@kkm64]

I love how all the kids make up games. They're independent and self-entertaining. Congratulations on Crocs.

[@satisfaction1234567]

‘Ant on Sylvie’ omg so cute!!! I don’t like crocs, but only because I have trypophobia haha

[@vicki8010]

the only thing I found as a preschool teacher was that it was easy for little kids to fall if they were running in them. You know best about your kids to know if this is a problem. I have some now for around the pool and I am a 73 year old Grannie.

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Birdies eyes! Cuteness overload!

[@GypsyTheGoatOnTube]

I don't care either, very comfy, very sturdy. And come in tons of colors. My lined ones are super warm in winter

[@annalevermore7857]

Lovely to see all the kids playing together

[@thebestestoneever]

Crocs all the way, every day! Lol. I have indoor ones for 'slippers' and in the summer wear my outside pair as well. I'm in Canada where it currently is -40C with about 20cm of snow that just fell, so unfortunately, no Crocs outside right now, lol And I have the 'jibits' all over my indoor ones. The kids love looking at them! :)

[@maryjoanhuhn203]

I love 💕 love crocs! I have all colors🎉 and i don’t care either what people think! You need to get crocs for the whole family! Then take a fun picture! Love your beautiful precious family❤😘😘

[@Snowysmum07]

Wear what you like not what other people think. My youngest got a pair for her 8th birthday (she's 26 now) and her (so called) friends took the mickey out of her and she stopped wearing them but I told her not to listen to them and it would be a boring world if everyone liked the same thing, she only wore them in the house afterwards 😞❤️🇬🇧

[@marshatomkins7989]

Aww, Meg and Mog! My boys had those 40+ years ago. We loved them and I’m glad to see they’ve endured. Younger Son napped until he was two and that was it. Elder Son, by two years, was mellow enough to “rest” on his bed as long as his brother napped, and then they were finished. It worked out well.

[@chocanewt37]

It’s really lovely to see all your kids giving their opinion about something 😍

[@smallfootprint2961]

Time for one more... to make it a perfect 10, lol. Love seeing all the kids playing together. Imagination is a wonderful thing.

[@TiffanyAllen1784]

It’s nice that they have three trios, though. Big kids, triplets, and little kids.

[@theresacormier3253]

Sylvie seems older than her years she looks and participates on the games the older ones are playing and found the way to climb to go down the slide ! 🥰💓

[@DannieJ312]

I have three kids. My oldest (11), stopped napping around 4. My middle (5), stopped napping around 3. My youngest will be 2 in two weeks and already seems just about ready to cut the last one. If I make her lay down and take a nap, she’ll nap for an hour and a half to two hours but if I don’t, she probably won’t nap even though she still clearly needs them.

[@lisalovessummertime8453]

Such beautiful children and so cute and sweet. They are growing up so quickly and I love how kind, loving, and gentle they are and also how they play so beautifully together. Such gorgeous and adorable children. 💞🩵🤗

[@windkin45]

My mom loves and swears by her Crocs. The triplets are reading so good now. YAY!

[@jmk1962]

I still wear my original pair of Crocs from when they first came out. They are my gardening shoes, so comfy and I love how I can throw them in the washing machine to freshen them up.

[@angelsbecca]

Although I did not always expect them to sleep ,they all had a quiet time on the bed. Some would drop off ,some would read.

[@brendasnider7130]

I have worn Croc's for years make it a Croc family 👪 ❤ everyone that doesn't like them don't know what they are missing they are so comfortable.

[@theresacormier3253]

Love to see and hear from all your beautiful family, great video ! 🥰💓

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Otto's super tall. All your children are absolutely stunning, beautiful, smart too!

[@tamvruck]

I remember having naps up to age five. I’ve continued with most of my grandchildren. I find that it cuts down on them being fussy in the evening hours or taking late evening naps that interrupt their bedtime. Each child definitely has been different though. Best wishes to your family. 😊

[@kkm64]

Good reading triplets. Happy Birthday Chloe.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

My first daughter cut out her naps at 18 months but my second daughter was still having an afternoon nap at 5 years old. I was worried how she would manage when she started school at 51/2 but that was when she stopped. All kiddos are different so just go with your own instincts.😊

[@oohmissy1]

Awww!! Get them all crocs!! Can’t wait to see which colors! 😍

[@patg5743]

I'm an 80 yr old lady fry Ont Canada and love my Crocs.My great grand children wear them all the time.What people wear is there own business.

I have been wearing these for years! They cushion my feet and so easy to clean up. I have this style and the flip flops. Amazing! Glad you and your adorable family like them!

[@TentoesMe]

Fun to see them all playing outside.

[@andreanairvin7724]

My nephew was never a great sleeper and cut his naps out fairly early his consistent naps cut off around 2. My niece consistent naps until like 3 then she has quite time until 4, about half the time during quite time she would fall asleep, but she could look at books, play with soft toys, etc.. She needed naps longer tired hit her way harder than my nephew. Now my nephew is 11 and has taken to pre teen naps.

[@Wrennie_bird08]

Crocs are not for me, but I think they're perfect for you and your style!! I love how your kids have been raised outside mainstream.

[@amandagrayson389]

My Crocs are my indoor shoes. Also, Southern California (e.g. San Diego) can look so much like Perth sometimes!

[@cherylmcmanus952]

Birdie is a very, very intelligent baby. So are the twins, but you can see that Birdie is very well independent, curious, and especially alert for her age!!!! ❤ None of the children are starving for attention!! They are very affectionate toward each other and demonstrate their love as well for one another. The parents definitely have their priorities in order!!!!!!! Keep up the loving work!!!!!! ❤😍🥰 👩‍❤️‍👨 😇💞🎉🎈💜🌼🌈 😘💝🥰👍🧡😍😘😘❤️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❤️

[@theresacormier3253]

Birdie is like SYLVIE, she is adventurous, independent and will probably speak early also ! She comprehends what you ask at an early age like Sylvie !

[@ninamilanic3733]

My frist stopped napping at 8 months :). Second still does it at 11 years old :D, and the litte one is 15 months, still takes her nap every day.

[@meganngeorge]

All 3 of my boys stopped napping at 2 years old. Like a switch just went off and they all just decided no more naps😂 I tried for weeks to keep the naps going but it was a done deal for all of them at 2!

[@dboley1950]

The kids remind me of when I was little. We had fun at the smallest park . We were together .

[@Lunairenardi]

I love your videos so much. looking at them, I just can't stop admiring your family. your parenting style. how kind and conscious children are. I'm happy for you 😊 I'm really curious to ask how you taught kids to be safe with insects? when Sylvia had an ant on her hand, I was a little scared, because I know that very dangerous species of these insects are also found in Australia. it would be very interesting to know if someone in the comments could tell me. because I live in a completely different part of the world and for me this is really something unfamiliar. we do not have so many dangerous insects that you can meet just like that. (although perhaps this is also not the region where there is a lot of this) sorry if there are any mistakes

[@byrw9557]

We took naps until we went to 1st grade. There was no kindergarten then. My mother would take a nap too because that was time that she needed to regenerate her energy as she was an older mother. She always told us that we didn't have to go to sleep but we did have to be quiet and rest and it nearly always ended up that we all went to sleep. Mother only needed about 15 or 20 minutes of quiet and then she was ready to go again. She was fine with us getting up then if we wanted to.

[@tarinflyte3326]

Crocs are awesome especially the ones with the fur lining so you can wear them in colder months. They are so universal! Happy Birthday Chloe. Enjoy your crocs!!

[@stefanimcgehee5140]

I live in the U.S. and in Texas and I wear crocs every day and my grand boys do too...they are so comfortable!..Ya'll will like them!! I had two boys. The oldest almost never slept even and night and the youngest one slept two naps a day (2 hours in the morning, 3 in the afternoon and 12 hours at night)...until he was 5...When he started kindergarten..he still had a nap because school was only 1/2 day!

[@ginibelle1416]

I don't know what it is, but I smile all the way through your videos 😊❤❤❤

[@barbaradw9969]

I have the same style like you just got, however mine are brown. My 3 grandsons have them in the same style. The 13 year old has them in white, but the other two, ages 9 & 7 have them in tye dye. They are a big hit in Japan, that’s where my Grandsons live.

[@louisel782]

Crocs are so comfy. I love that Evan did not care what people thought! 💚

[@karbear26]

Crocs are very popular in Jr. High right now at my daughter’s school. She doesn’t want any but lots of kids wear them! Now you know what to get the kids! Hope they can come in time for Otto and Evan’s Birthday! My husband and his sister are the same age for 39 days!!

[@FootballFanLeanne]

Felix's expression when first looking at the crocs, cracked me up. I was certain he didn't like them. I have one pair and dealing with foot problems like Plantar Fasciitis, or heel spurs, no other shoes feel better on.

[@darlaann1610]

2nd comment. My son has autism and he never slept. 10 minutes a day and he was wired the rest of the looong 24hrs. At 7 years old a new Dr. finally listened to me. We then had some breakthroughs in managing his over stimulation.

[@kimvoorhis4481]

Birdie sounds like bambi when saying bird. Reminded me quickly of bambi. And speaking of naps, My niece and nephew ended there morning naps by the age of 2 and 3, now they're 3 & 4 but still naps in the afternoon. We do insist my niece to sleep coz we think she still needs to but sometimes she's letting us know she doesn't want any more afternoon naps.

[@catherinedesimone4015]

I don’t like when crocs fill with sand or wood chips and kids crocs in my experience start to smell. Maybe you can wash them to avoid that problem. I also didn’t feel like they were a sturdy enough shoe for preschoolers who are learning to walk and climb.

[@marissag7979]

Crocs are by far the best shoe! We loooove them in Canada!

[@rajimac]

They’ve been in then out theb back in. My adult children have them now. They had them as kids , the younger ones, and they are back wearing them again. It’s so funny. But I’ve always liked them.
