Kaidale has grown up and matured so much!!! As a fellow autism mom, im so proud to see him walk up on stage for his graduation ceremony!! He's an absolute inspiration and gives me so much hope for my kiddo seeing how he has really found so many interest!! I know we dont see the hard times but i know those moments are their and u are doing a great job Kaitlin!! ❤
Such a great update! Can't believe how big K is now! Hope the hammering has been a great outlet for him & look forward to more videos from you, but don't pressure yourself to add more to your plate! Taking care of yourselves always comes first! ❤
Thank you for the update, we have missed you both. I can't believe how tall he has gotten. I had to do a double take when he was standing in the kitchen to make sure he wasn't standing on a stool Have a great Summer
Welcome back, we've missed you both. My autistic son is 26 and I still serve his plates out of habit, thanks for the reminder that he could be learning to do that for himself too. I hope this summer goes much better for you two.
Happy to see you and Kaidale! What happened to that "little boy"? He has grown into quite a handsome young man over the last year!! Looking forward to seeing your both thrive!
So nice to hear all the updates. You are absolutely an amazing mom! Best wishes for all the best things for you both. I’ll be looking forward to your next video.
Thanks so much for the update. Being debt free is so huge. Now you can start saving for fun things ! The hammering is a great outlet. Best of luck to you both !
I started watching a few years back I am a high functioning special needs adult with no children but I have a love for advocating for special needs. A year ago my cousins came to me and said if anything happens to us will you take care of our daughter. The year prior I spent watching my goddaughter grow but not hit her milestones as a baby typically would. She was diagnosed with Autism by her 2nd birthday that little girl has taught me patience, kindness, and LOVE!! She’s thriving and doing things on her own terms! I celebrate every milestone with her
Too cute!! His hammering love is too adorable! WOW! The drawing is soooo impressive!! CONGRATULATIONS on the financial milestone!! That's huge and so inspiring!! Amazing!! Vacuuming!!! I am so amazed and impressed! Hope you all have a great summer!! :D :D
Welcome back. I’ve thought of you both often. Sorry to hear you have had a hard year. Happy to hear you have made it to the other side. Looks like Kaidale has acquired some fun new skills. Looking forward to have you post again.
So happy to see another vlog!! I completely understand, life can be overwhelming. I wish my ABA clinic had a homeschool program. Take all the time you need with your next vlog, I’m happy with whatever you’re able to do❤. Kaidale is so sweet and his new hobbies are amazing!!
He's so tall!! Wow what a difference one year makes! I can see he's maturing and growing I guess that's what happens to our little baby boys! LOL His Curls are still poppin' and Momma is still as beautiful as ever! Glad to see the update and to know you've taken the time you felt you and Kaidale needed away from the cameras. 💙🩵
I was just thinking about you guys the other day! I'm glad you guys are livin' life and thriving! We have missed you guys so much! Kaidale getting so big! I love his new hobbies.
Welcome back! Looks like you guys have been really busy. Since he likes to hammer have you ever thought of drum lessons. Just thinking out loud. Glad you are back! 🩵
Best video I have seen in a long time! You guys look like you are doing so well! He looks so big and mature! Most of all, he looks so happy and healthy! Good job, mom! You're rocking it!
From one mom with an autistic child to another I totally get your Hiatus and I totally understand and sometimes it's needed but we're glad you're back and we missed you😊
So glad to see you guys!! Have thought about you often & hoped you were doing well. Absolutely LOVE Kaidale’s new hobby! Proud of you Kaitlin for prioritizing your goals & doing what’s best for you & your family. ❤
I was thinking about you just yesterday. So happy to hear all of your successes. Kaidale is tall! Looking forward to seeing more of your vlogs, don’t put pressure on yourself about the vlogs. Work on them at your own pace.
I have missed y'all some much I'm glad your back I'm a grandma so I have been very worried about y'all I'm proud of everything y'all have accomplished ❤
He reminds us so much of our son. We should all connect. Maybe you can start interviewing and featuring other kids/families. We are also in the Jax area.
Good to see the two of you doing well. You'll pop up in my notifications whenever is feasible for you to release a vlog, so no pressure on you. We'll join you whenever 🙂
Hey, I've missed you guys, welcome back! Good to see and hear that you're both doing ok. Just a thought - as Kaidale loves hammering nails and he's artistically inclined, how about combining both activities to make nail art (it is a thing) and selling them at craft fairs or online. He might have to start with pencil drawing on wood at first and following those lines with nails but it could help him with focus and earn him some money. Looking forward to more vlogs. 😊😊
Way to go kaidale what amazing progress, kaitlin idea for you to try out buy flat pack furniture and colour code the screws and holes in advance then let kaidale put it together with the drill screwdriver or get random bits wood mark out where holes need to be drilled in order to connect bits together to build your own quirky things and then let kaidale drill and screw or hammer nails in to build things, also look into woodwork classes or courses that kaidale could do either as part of school/college or as work experience maybe he be good at DIY with little more guidence and teaching, also you could use the claw of the hammer or crow bar to remove the nails from the wood to reuse them
From what I understand and have learned about autistic people is that regression is normal. He will pick up those skills again as he’s done and will be just fine!
Thanks for coming back to the vlog. I'm so proud of you and Kaidale. I hope you get to do everything that you want to do and now that you're debt-free and things are going good you can take a little bit of a break. But just even do 1 15 minute video a week where you just let us know how you're doing and what happened even if you don't think it's very exciting that would be so amazing and cool because we feel like we want to stay in touch with you and see how you're doing and just follow like we're neighbors or something. No pressure.
@@Kaitlin_and_Kaidale I Love watching you & Kaidale on your videos. I used work in a Special Education/residential school with Autistic kids on the spectrum. K is very sweet & thanks to your patience & teaching him to be as independent as he can with the right amount of limiting him on tablet watching & praising him when he does things on his own. You're a single Mom & that's difficult as it is. But, you're doing an amazing job with him on a daily basis. I'm not a Mom, but I think if you're under a lot of stress, see a Mental health therapist just to vent out your frustrations & feelings. It may help. If you already have someone to talk with, then that's fantastic!
Missed seeing your guys’ vlogs! Glad your back at it and happy to hear you are doing well! I love Kaidale’s new hobby of hammering! He’s so good at it! I see nail art in his future! ❤
I’ve never seen your videos before, but just wanted to say- what a beautiful family you’ve created for you and your resilient boy. May you continue to have the strength to receive his love in the ways that he knows how and is comfortable with showing them. You are doing a great job.
Oh, I’m so glad I missed you guys. I was on worry about you. What was going on? Well, I’m glad you took a year off. Sometimes we need it. You have a good day and a wonderful week.
So happy to hear from you guys and that life is treating you well! Kaidale has grown so much. Keep up the good work momma. Loved this recap style of vlog
Good vlog today Kaitlyn i missed your videos so much im so happy you guy's are back on RUclips kaidle has grown up so much i can't wait to see more of your vlogs welcome back to RUclips
It was so great to see you both again. Glad all is well! Upward and Onward Mom. Looking forward to your videos. Kaidale looks so happy and has grown in so many ways! Congratulations on Graduation Kaidale!🎉
So now that Kaidale is almost a teenager, do you see changes in him with puberty? How is his socialization? Has he ever had a friend over to play or a sleepover? Is his communication progressed or regressed? Does he ever use more complex sentences or just a couple words here n there. What will the homeschool program be like? Does it include social activities? How is his reading/writing skills? Do you want him to learn typing in the future?
Wow. I’m from Philly. Driving to Orlando, I was thinking about how I haven’t seen your videos in a long time. I could not think of your name to look you up. I just arrived in Orlando and you showed up in my RUclips feed. Craziness!!
Need to call a construction company asking if you can go to a job site at the end of day for their thrown away lumber. You would be surprised how much they get rid of.
So so happy to see you two. Your like me, always keeping up with our kids. Except I'm 50... lol Our Autistic 8 year old got her training wheels off (last year we were just too busy to work in biking, that's on us) and now she's unlocked this new independence and skill and now I'm racing to keep up to her and try to teach road safety lol. We took our first trip to Disney world and fell in love with Florida. We can't wait to go back. I agree with you that kids learn by doing. You're amazing mama!! Hope to see more updates.
Hello, would you mind sharing which clinic offers the ABA/homeschooling program? We are in the area and used to have this for my son when he was younger and he could really use a program like that again as I am a single mother also and just can no longer homeschool him.
I’ve never clicked play so fast! Have missed you guys!
Right? I literally stopped everything I was doing except for eating breakfast.
Yes, me too!!! Missed them soooo mcuh!!
Me too!! I’ve missed their videos!!
I have to agree. I almost dropped my phone clicking play.
Me too! I've missed your videos. Hammering is an interesting hobby.
So happy to see you both 😀 Kaidale has grown up so much. Just look at him hammering and using the drill Wow what a great Job 😄👍 ❤
