  • Teaching Our Kids to Enjoy Giving. Vlogmas 2022, Day 28. It's almost Christmas and we wanted to spend some extra time with our sweet toddler, Luke, as he learns about giving and kindness towards the world around him. Chris takes Luke to the store to pick out gifts for his family and helps him wrap the presents. Then we all open advent calendars together. All of our videos are closed captioned and always family friendly.

    Christopher. I have worked with so many families with children with special needs. You are just amazing! You give Luke such respect while still being a dad and giving him guidance. I think he will be ok. I think you and Jessica are the parents we teachers always wished our little ones had. Happy holidays to you and your sweet, sweet family.

      I’m not sure what you meant, so maybe I’m reacting out of hand, but the statement “I think he will be ok” really bothers me. I’m the parent of an autistic child, and I wholeheartedly believe a child will be ok whether they live a miter independent life or need caregivers and support their entire life. It sounds like you’re saying he’ll be ok because he’ll be close to typically functioning. That’s a really ableist view. If that’s not what you’re saying, then I’m sorry if I misunderstood, but this comment really bothers me.

Such a smart idea to take him shopping so close to Christmas so he connects the act of picking out the gifts, wrapping, and then seeing everyone open their gifts just a couple days later!

    Loved the learning process here! It wasn't long and he was folding the corners of the presents just like he saw you do! He did awesome and seemed to stay focused which is quite impressive!! I wonder if folding the tape in a circle and sticking it on the back of the pic would be easier? Like putting on a sticker? Just a thought, but by the time next year comes I'm sure Lukey will be a pro!!

    Me and my husband don’t have children of our own yet, but I love watching your Vlogs because I hope to be the kind of parents that you two are. All of your kids are such a perfect example of what patient loving and caring parents do for a child. Specifically Bailey at her age still being such a sweet young girl. Most girls her age, including myself at that age are already heavily into boys and thinking that they are grown up. I actually had already gotten pregnant and had a miscarriage at her age. I would do anything to go back and be a child still for those teen years. Y’all are a seriously great family.

    one thing that my family does for the holidays is we buy a shorter tree and put the tree on a short (2ft or less) square (and cheap) coffee table. we put festive tablecloths on the table to protect the table from scratches and that way we have more room for presents under the tree so we can put presents on top, next to, and UNDER the table AND we save money on a tree by buying a shorter tree. holiday hack for families that have limited walking space for presents under the tree
