Nadia, you don’t need to apologize for living life. Life is challenging at times and we understand. Hang in there....sounds like to me you are on the mend and I am praying for you and your family. 🙏💖🧶🌈
My boys were delayed physically for a long time ( Wheelchair bound for many years) lots of therapy and they’re both doing so well today. They’re in their 20s and walking around and driving cars!
Love I am SO SORRY that you are feeling lonely 😞 and that you’re struggling mentally/emotionally/physically and what not. So I’m sending you love and light. I’m praying for your son that he finds his way to communicate and that everyone can adjust and move forward!! He is SO LUCKY to have you fighting in his corner ❤️ I’m glad you’re taking your time to get things together. There’s no sense in rushing or forcing it. We will ALWAYS be here for you! So I say take the time you need for your own well being. Keep taking good care of yourself and I look forward to more projects to come, and I pray for YOUR health and happiness. Xoxox
Your health and family come first. Please don’t worry about your son, my daughter didn’t talk until she went to pre school and was with all the other kids Sending lots of prayers and hugs 🤗
My grandson was the same way we had a speech therapist then he went full-time to day care instead of grandma being able to watch him Was real challenge for me not having him every day all to myself. But he came home from there every day doing something new talking more it was incredible how much he changed after daycarei
I’m sending much Love and Light to you and Nasser 💚 My brother didn’t talk until he was 4 and today he’s an attorney. Please try to relax even though I know it’s hard, and do something for yourself. Love from a crochet sister in NYC ☃️❄️
The check in was so welcome, nothing but love and support from us. Do what you can and make sure to take care of yourself and your family first. I know we will be here when your ready.
I finished a cardigan that I started in 2020, currently making a matching neck warmer to go with it. Nadia; I’ve just been there and trust me Crojo is No Joke. Praying that you get better. Also praying for Nasir; he will get better.
Your family and health come first. I'm so happy that you were able to get answers and help. Parenthood is the most difficult, frustrating, and rewarding jobs in the world. You will be good. God will never give you more than you can handle. We love and appreciate you. 😘
Glad you’re back I’m a Newbie to the RUclips community and your tutorials have helped me a lot! Sending 🙏🏽Your way... Also nice tattoo🤗 I heard their addicting 🥰
Just FYI, my son had similar issues when he was little. He didn’t start talking until he was 4 1/2 and that was forced by a speech therapist. His doctor diagnosed him with Lazy Boy Syndrome. He was extremely stubborn and wouldn’t do anything unless he wanted to. He grunted and pointed to the things he wanted. If I tried to force him to say “eat” or “cup”; he would just walk away. He would rather do without than speak. I thought there was something wrong. My daughter, 2 years older, started talking at 9 months. Why isn’t he talking? The speech therapist said that the ones who take longer to speak are usually the smartest and she was right. My son will be 22 years old in April and is extremely smart. He will be graduating in May with a double major and a minor in 2 different fields. It’s hard thinking there might be something wrong with your kid. But, your son is so young. Sometimes just a big growth spurt can throw a kid off for a few months; then they leap forward seemingly over night. Trust in your doctors. Do what they say. And give your son all the love and support he needs. Everything will works out the way it’s supposed to. Keep being the amazing mom that you are and everything will fall into place. ♥️
I have had 2 grandsons who have needed to see a behavioral specialist. They have both made great strides. Both are 7 (1 month apart). 1 no longer sees the specialist. He was super active as well and he is also super smart. Hang in there because it does get so much better. 😘💜 Love the tattoo 😍 Thank you for checking in 💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Hang in there honey, you’ll get through it, and it’s ok to be down at times. It gives you something to look forward to. Just give your little man lots of love and encouragement and he’ll come through just fine. All my love from Merrill Wisconsin. Happy hooking.
You are really amazing I only watch “ bag o day “ crystal because she’s easy to understand . But you my dear is amazing . I started to make the granny square for the GG cardigan . I’ll pray all is well with your son . He sounds adorable . Sorry to hear about your disease. My sons best friend has it. She’s having a tough time as well praying for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awww, welcome back! Don't *ever* feel bad for taking care of yourself and taking that time! I haven't picked up a hook in months! I'm an essential, and am exhausted. I just don't have the energy to crochet at the end of the day anymore. I understand 100%! You are loved, thank you!🥰 I can't believe the baby is a year and half already! I hope you can find the help for him to get his speech corrected. I can clearly hear the hope in your voice!😇🙏 You're on the right path.
Thank you, I really needed to hear that today. I feel ya, it's been difficult to pick up the hook after such a busy day working with my son and trying to get him to speak. We are advancing with the sign language and working on getting him more sensory related toys to help him learn. I think with this new schedule, it will allow me to crochet a little bit each day and maybe get something accomplished soon. I admire the fact that you are pushing through. I can't thank you enough for your hard work during this difficult time for all of us. Essential workers aren't appreciated enough. ((hugs)) ~Nadia
@@YARNutopia don’t stress! My daughter started walking at 10 months BUT she didn’t start talking until she was 2! She did go to speech mainly for “processing” issues. Much love! (I wrote that before I heard you say that! Same with my daughter! She is 25 now!)
Love that scarf!! I'm working on one similar but with 3 colors changing every 3rd row. QUESTION, is it better to cut all my yarn ends and weave them in, or do how I do and drag my yarn up then crochet a lil sc border to cover it? I see everyone else cutting at each row. I'm kinda new. What works best and why? If anyone can help me please i'd greatly appreciate it❤... Blessings to you with your son♡♡♡ You are so beautiful!!
Nadia you are such a Beautiful spirit. Don’t worry about anything. Everything will work itself out. I am praying for you and your family and sending you a lot of HUGS🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏾🤗🙏🏾🤗🤗🌹❤️
Thank you Nadia! You’re so wonderful for keeping us all updated on your life! Parenthood is THE most difficult job on earth! You’re are doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing with your son! You look beautiful! I will keep you in my prayers always! Such a pretty tatt! 😍 Happy hooking everyone! Stay fabulous! Stay safe! 🤗🧶💕
Honestly, I miss you so much. But I have a son with 16 years, Jose Maria and a baby with 1 year, Oliver ( yes, I'm crazy 🤣) and sometimes it's hard, specially with the baby. So I understand, family comes first 😉 Take care of yourself and your family, we'll be here waiting for you. And don't worry about Naser, all the babies manage to sit down (Oliver did it with almost 9 months) or walk or talk. Maybe he only needs more time, like Oliver. Hugs from Spain 🤗
I actually got a LOT done in 2020 (at least 9 full and/or queen size afghans as well as other smaller projects). I have, sad to say, no projects completed in 2021. I haven't wanted to pick up my hook to finish some wips that only need a LITTLE bit more to finish. I share your lack of cro-jo even tho the projects catch my eyes. May good luck and successes continue with Naser's communication.
It is lovely to see you back:) I know 2020 was challenging for all, but you seem to have had so much more on your shoulders. Two is such a difficult age for any child (and parents), but it seems you and your husband are on the right path to dealing with your son's challenges. I read previous comments and am glad you are getting encouragement from those who have had similar problems. I have GI/immune issues and follow Dr. Amy Myers (The Autoimmune Solution) online. Think you would benefit from her advice, if you aren't already following her. In 2021, I am working on a bunch of projects - an eight-star blanket for Project Linus, preemie blankets and hats for Charli's Love, hat/scarf sets for Operation Gratitude. Some days it is hard to get my crojo going, but because these are for charity, pick up my hook and then I feel better:) Of course, just looking at all the wonderful yarns on-line makes me itch to crochet. LOL! Am looking forward to your scarf pattern. Be kind to yourself! I will be keeping you and your family in thought and prayer. P.S. Love the tattoo😊
I have made 3 preemie baby blankets and almost done with the 4th. I have made 1 regular size baby blanket and a cute bumble bee amigurumi to go with it. I did the Furls CAL with the champagne bottle and 2 glasses, I made a gingerbread man Amigurumi (was behind on my Crochet Society boxes) Made a cutsie bunny, octopus and cup of hot chocolate amigurumis with the yarn from the last Crochet Society boxes yarn cause I didn't like the projects in the booklet. And last I am almost done with a shark cross body bag I am making for my daughter. And almost forgot did the CAL for January with Jayda in Stitches (there are 12 parts to it).
I haven’t finished anything yet, but I will soon in the coming weeks. A gift of a blanket for my dad, and some slippers for my mom. And Nasir will be OK, some children don’t talk right away. I didn’t speak well until I was about 3. Now you can’t shut me up. Sending love and positive thoughts to you and your family. ❤️ 🧶
My son is Autistic and has Intellectual Disability. He is 11 now, but still speaks in a way that isn't typical. But he does communicate A LOT, in his way. He takes things he's heard on shows, movies, or phrases he's heard us say a lot, and uses them to communicate. One thing I've learned over these past several years with my son is this: he was always communicating, despite what many experts said about him simply "babbling" or "randomly saying things he heard without meaning." They weren't random or without meaning. And I hope the experts you're seeing aren't saying that to you either. Children and people in general are always communicating. Have you seen the movie, "Life Animated"? It's about how a boy who had trouble talking started using phrases from Disney movies to communicate. It's a great movie. IDK what exactly your son is going through, and maybe what he is experiencing is different than that boy in the movie, or my boy, but even if it's different, the struggle is similar. So I just want to show Solidarity
Hi, I don't always check in (I'm trying to not be on my phone/laptop/computer as much) but I had to right now because the still of you that is w/the video notification made it look like you were crying. We all get down once in awhile, especially during winter. I think that winter (less light) and the whole covid thing has really made hard times even harder. I'm not a nurse/doctor but I do have 4 (grown) children and 6 grandchildren plus neices/nephews & friend's children (one has 9 or 10 children!) so I just wanted to say that all children are different, do thinks at different times, etc. I know one boy who didn't say a whole lot till he was a lot older than your son. I know it's good to get advice from medical personnel but only you (& your husband - but more so you because moms are like that-we're just cool like that) know your son. The older he gets the more intune you'll be. Also, follow your gut feeling. You'd be amazed how right you are. Don't feel that just because the doctors/nurses have a degree makes them smarter. Oh my, I didn't mean to go on & on about this. I want you to read this but don't post this. It's for your eyes only 👀😂. I don't have FB or Instagram anymore so I'll have to check in here more often. I also have snapchat but not sure how long. Is the tattoo place the one on Caledonia St? I always wanted to get a tattoo but I have too many health issues & those were one thing that I can't do. We're having our house remodeled, have to move half of the house out plus we have to move out. Will be 2-3 months. I'm telling you all of this so hopefully you're feeling better. I just hope I bring enough yarn/patterns w/me. Course, I could always say that I need to buy more yarn. Take care!
Don’t feel like you’re alone in your no crojo. I have been the same way the past several months. I have major anxiety and 2020 added so much fuel to the fire. Just know that you’re not alone!!! And what you’re going through is perfectly normal. I feel 2021 is going to be good and that it’s going to be a year of healing. Hang in there sweet lady and remember “it came to pass, and it will. Much love ❤️ “Every situation in life is temporary. So, when life is good, make sure you enjoy and receive it fully. And when life is not good, remember that it will not last forever and better days are on the way.” -Jenni Young
Come on hunny you got this!!! Crochet away, and let it melt the stress away. You are amazing don't forget that, you been through so much, first your health and now your son you will be great.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰☺☺☺☺☺☺
morning sweetheart my wife Joe Hill is writing this!!! Welcome to the club.. Kids are the best. Are two kids were prem"s oldest was at 28 week, 1.8 pounds now 22 years old, and are youngest at 30 weeks and 1.6 pounds, now 11 years old. . So yes God is Good. God will be there for you and your family ... you can do it motherhood and crochet ect...
So nice hearing from you . I pray for your good health and for Nasser’s continued positive progress . I just made the GIGI cardigan and I am in love with it! I look forward to your projects for 2021! 💜💜
It’s good to see you! Happy New Year! So far in 2020 I’ve finished a lap blanket that I started in December, I made a baby blanket for a baby that will be born next week, I made three hats and sent them to a friend who is living in a very cold part of the country right now, and I am 3/4 of the way done with a large blanket that someone commissioned me to make. I’m actually making more progress than usual this year! I know you’ll get back into the swing of things quickly. Everyone has his and downs.
I've made 2 baby hats, 1 baby blanket and I've started another baby blanket..I'm expecting a boy in July. Hang in there my oldest daughter started speech therapy and occupational therapy at 2 she is 11 now and does work fast and yes it can be overwhelming.. praying for you all
My friend's youngest boy did not say a word until he was three. He had missed all the milestones for communication and had been seeing a therapist but was making no real progress. He was with me for the day to give his mom a break and we went for a walk into the countryside. He saw a rabbit run down into its burrow and started laughing so much, it was like a peal of bells! I said "The rabbit ran into his hole" and he answered excitedly "Hole! Hole!". After a pause he chuckled again and said "Hole! Hole!" - it was adorable after the years of silence. He literally had never even said mama or dadda before that. At the end of the day I took him home and my friend asked him if he had had a nice time and he burst out laughing and yelled "Hole! Hole!" over and over and over.... Of course, I had to explain what on earth he meant! Scroll forward three months when I next got the chance to visit the family again. He stood in the hallway with shades on and a guitar round his neck! "Ooh! What's that?" I asked him enthusiastically, the way you do with a toddler. He gave me a withering look, which I probably deserved for being patronising, LOL. "This, Auntie, is my instrument!" he informed me. "I shall play it for you if you would like me to". Sorry this is a little long but it just shows that milestones being missed isn't the end of the world. Sometimes they just need their own pacing. Much love to you and your family, Nadia.
Ohhhh, Nadia hon ♥ don't worrying about us you take care of you and your family. We will still be here. I just finished a virus shawl using bernat pop in the color sizzle. I have been wanting more ideas for blankets. My goal this year is to have blankets for most of my family done so I currently have 5 blanket WIPS.
Don’t worry that your not present constantly. 2020 has kicked us all. I decided to finish anything leftover before I start anything new. Waiting on your super long scarf. Stay safe
Don't apologize!!! Your a new MOM!! We know how it is. I stopped crocheting for over 8yrs because I never got to sit down for more than 5 mins. So glad I have the time now.
Oh girl, don't worry about your son being behind. They are never 100% themselves when they are around strangers. He will learn to talk trust me! He will be fine my daughter didn't talk till she was 3 years old and I didn't worry, cuz I went through the same with both my sons. Now they talk to much! They also fight and argue with each other all the time! We will be here whenever you get back! Your patterns are very unique and one of a kind! I know you can't feel to good with your stomach bothering you constantly. I have the same problems and sometimes I don't want to do anything at all, much less filming and crocheting. Please take care and get better first, before taking on to much at once. Maybe start slow? Hope your able to at least read, what and how everyone feels about it. Mostly everyone wants you to feel better first and foremost!
Totally understand Nadia...I’ve been going through now what I thought would be a momentary flare up of my Crohn’s disease as I’ve been prone to having from time to time but momentary has turned into almost 3 weeks of recurrent bathroom trips, cramping, diarrhea, vomiting...I don’t have to tell you..glad to see that Nasir is getting help..my grandson was diagnosed with sensory issues a couple of years ago...he was very delayed in his speech but now he never stops talking..lol...take care of yourself...we will all be here when you are ready.
I have finished a plain old single crochet velvet hat for my husband. And I just grabbed a cardigan that I put down about a year ago and I really want to wear it so I am doing that. It is just sewrellas easy cardigan. All double crochets. My middle son was placed on the spectrum at about five years old. He was not able to speak well, he was very shy... to the point of it being a handicap almost. Like he would only talk to me or his brother. And that was in Kota language... no one else could understand him even if he did talk to them. Naser will be just what Naser is supposed to be. Time will bring new milestones. You guys are giving him extra help and that is awesome. Don’t listen to other people if they try to compare him to other children. There is no need, we all have our very own strengths and weaknesses. He’s probably just too busy to slow down and focus right now. Active boys are very very special! I have a couple of them.
Please don't apologize, dear girl! You have a lot on your plate and being a mom is a very challenging job some days. I'm just so happy to see you and always appreciate your sweet demeanor. It sounds like you are on the right track for your beautiful little boy but new things can be overwhelming. Please don't apologize for being human. We love you just the way you are.
Unfortunately Nas is in that grey area between 18 months to 3 years is where kids really start learning to speak and express themselves and most of the time he’s going to be frustrated and you’re stressed because he can’t voice yet what he wants so words are just being thrown at him and he can’t really associate the 2 together yet. Because once they learn to talk they NEVER stop lol. I gave my daughter 2 choices and we started juice or milk. Oatmeal or cereal. And her picking milk is repeat the word and hold it up and she’d nod. She’d reach for more food and I’d say more please. And eventually she started mimicking the words. She was always a little behind the rest of the kids but she just wanted to do things on her time. Nas will be the same. Don’t let the doctors worry you. I know you’re an amazing mama and you’re doing everything right. Just takes time
You are taking care of yourself, then family. You can't give to others unless you can take care of yourself. If you get drained you have nothing to give. Hopefully all understand. Just if you can keep us in the loop, so we can pray for you. And also know you are still OK. So many people have passed or had bad things happen and when you don't hear from them you wonder. Thank you for sharing your struggles.
Hi! I just wanted to let you know my son had the same symptoms as yours and we got him all the same help and it helped him so amazingly much! Hes 14 now and doing great he needed to find his voice with signing first and then started talking very soon after. All the luck And blessings to you and your family and thank you for all you do with tutorials etc.🧶🧣💌 and to your son (and you and your family) 🤟❗
Welcome back!! never say sorry for putting famiily first! We are not going anywhere and believe me i got a huge pile of WIP's to finish lol right now doing the 365 days of granny squares and having a blast with it! but i have way more hobbies then i have time so my WIP's will take a while! hang inthere and we will be here waiting! xxx
I love shawls. Can’t wait to see that one! My granddaughter is turning 2 in may and she’s not talking much...just more, garbled more milk, you do etc.... then sometimes a complete sentence out of the blue it’s been fun
Everyone forgets, that it's ok...to not be ok sometimes. Life is never easy.. do what you need to do for you and your family. We all need to recharge sometimes... so hang in there. All in all, 2020, wasn't a bad year here, I know many battled a lot of things... we were blessed to not have to. Take care and stay safe!
this year i have made 2 little soap savers and 1 crochet Link to the Past hat for a friend in Red Heart Panther Pink and she LOVES IT. I didn't have enough yarn left to do the front loop lumps but it still looks great. Right now I am working on a giant yoshi egg with this green and white peaches and cream giant yarn cone ive had for years.
Mommies have to take care of themselves, so they can be there for their families! You look so beautiful and happy at the end of the video. Isn't it funny, we used to wish for just a few days at home, to not talk with anyone, just to do what we wanted, and then the quarantine hit and we got what we wished for, but we forgot to say how many days.. So glad you have professional help for your son, he will continue to make amazing strides, and you will be able to have some peace of mind. Take care and know you are loved by a great community of people, brought together by a little hooking. 😘
Yeah Nadia so nice to see you. Hang in there you have a lot on yr plate take yr time do what you need to do. LOVE the tattoo. You look marvelous ☺️ Your crojo will come back I think we all lose it sometime and that insane 2020 has us all a little down but its going to all be good. Take care
Keep you in my prayers for things to get better for you. I have a Great Grandson that wasn't talking much and after some tutoring he's finally talking. He also learned sign language and so did we. 💕
Nadia please take care of yourself first💙 you are appreciated and loved so much💙 know this we will be here when you are ready. Nasir such a wonderful family and support group behind him he will find his way💙 I am sending prayers hugs and kisses your way. God has a plan for all of us know you are in his hands you are never alone let him carry you until you feel strong again💙 It was lovely seeing your beautiful smile again💙
Miss you. It will get better with your son. my son has autism it was a adjustment. But as a mom you help and make it work. My son learned some sign language he didn't speak till he was 6 now he's 14 and is super chatty... You got this
as an slp myself, please remember, development is never permanent at this age! Your son is learning and you are not a bad mom nor did you miss anything by having to ask for extra help. No one can do it all or be all. Just love on him and be there supporting him. Be willing to give yourself grace as you have to cope with so, so many other issues most mommas dont!!
Things will work out. My grandson is Autistic and we did behavioral therapy and speech and language with sign language and as he got older they used pictures for language. He also needed the sensory therapy. But at age 5 he started talking like he talked his whole life.
Starting your gorgeous GG cardigan. You have such talent for your designs and are such a good teacher. Hang in there - life can be hard without added covid. Take care
You need to take care of yourself so you can take care of your son...we are here for you and we aren't going anywhere 🙂 sending hugs and prayers to you and your family 🙏🙏🙏
Doing good and hope your son is doing great and you guys take care we all need to get together and keep crocheting or if you got Knitters out there keep going be safe take care
👋🏽🙂 Hi Nadia! You got this, you can get back to us! I haven’t been able to finish anything crochet. It’s been hard to get motivated. I have been reading quite a bit though. Wishing you and yours the best. 💜💜💜
Welcome back!! Take your time. Sign language is really helpful when you have a young one. I used to sign to my son it helped a lot knowing we could communicate.
Nadia, you don’t need to apologize for living life. Life is challenging at times and we understand. Hang in there....sounds like to me you are on the mend and I am praying for you and your family. 🙏💖🧶🌈
It's good to hear from you again. Your tattoo is beautiful! Nasir is lucky to have such loving and wonderful parents and grandparents!
It's been a long year for us all for sure! Glad you're well and so happy you are able to get all the help and support you need!
My boys were delayed physically for a long time ( Wheelchair bound for many years) lots of therapy and they’re both doing so well today. They’re in their 20s and walking around and driving cars!
Love I am SO SORRY that you are feeling lonely 😞 and that you’re struggling mentally/emotionally/physically and what not. So I’m sending you love and light. I’m praying for your son that he finds his way to communicate and that everyone can adjust and move forward!! He is SO LUCKY to have you fighting in his corner ❤️ I’m glad you’re taking your time to get things together. There’s no sense in rushing or forcing it. We will ALWAYS be here for you! So I say take the time you need for your own well being. Keep taking good care of yourself and I look forward to more projects to come, and I pray for YOUR health and happiness. Xoxox
*Nadia!!! So good to see you back. You were missed! Your makeup is gorgeous and I love your hair.*
Your health and family come first. Please don’t worry about your son, my daughter didn’t talk until she went to pre school and was with all the other kids Sending lots of prayers and hugs 🤗
A friend of mines grandson didn’t talk till he was 2. Once he started you can’t get him to be quiet.
My grandson was the same way we had a speech therapist then he went full-time to day care instead of grandma being able to watch him Was real challenge for me not having him every day all to myself. But he came home from there every day doing something new talking more it was incredible how much he changed after daycarei
You're doing good, momma. Keep going!
Glad you had a break. Don't apologize.
Nadia, you're fabulous! Family first..yarn will always be there & so will your grateful fans. God bless you all❤
I’m sending much Love and Light to you and Nasser 💚 My brother didn’t talk until he was 4 and today he’s an attorney. Please try to relax even though I know it’s hard, and do something for yourself. Love from a crochet sister in NYC ☃️❄️
The check in was so welcome, nothing but love and support from us. Do what you can and make sure to take care of yourself and your family first. I know we will be here when your ready.
I finished a cardigan that I started in 2020, currently making a matching neck warmer to go with it. Nadia; I’ve just been there and trust me Crojo is No Joke. Praying that you get better. Also praying for Nasir; he will get better.
Happy new year yayyyyy your back lol❤️❤️❤️
I'm on arigurumi wagon. I made a tooth. A cat. A bunny.
Your family and health come first. I'm so happy that you were able to get answers and help. Parenthood is the most difficult, frustrating, and rewarding jobs in the world. You will be good. God will never give you more than you can handle. We love and appreciate you. 😘
Think of yourself first. You are number one. Try and remember that.
Glad you’re back I’m a Newbie to the RUclips community and your tutorials have helped me a lot! Sending 🙏🏽Your way... Also nice tattoo🤗 I heard their addicting 🥰
Welcome back miss Nadia you were greatly missed. Lots of love and prayers going out to you and your family
Just FYI, my son had similar issues when he was little. He didn’t start talking until he was 4 1/2 and that was forced by a speech therapist. His doctor diagnosed him with Lazy Boy Syndrome. He was extremely stubborn and wouldn’t do anything unless he wanted to. He grunted and pointed to the things he wanted. If I tried to force him to say “eat” or “cup”; he would just walk away. He would rather do without than speak. I thought there was something wrong. My daughter, 2 years older, started talking at 9 months. Why isn’t he talking? The speech therapist said that the ones who take longer to speak are usually the smartest and she was right. My son will be 22 years old in April and is extremely smart. He will be graduating in May with a double major and a minor in 2 different fields.
It’s hard thinking there might be something wrong with your kid. But, your son is so young. Sometimes just a big growth spurt can throw a kid off for a few months; then they leap forward seemingly over night. Trust in your doctors. Do what they say. And give your son all the love and support he needs. Everything will works out the way it’s supposed to. Keep being the amazing mom that you are and everything will fall into place. ♥️
I have had 2 grandsons who have needed to see a behavioral specialist. They have both made great strides. Both are 7 (1 month apart). 1 no longer sees the specialist. He was super active as well and he is also super smart. Hang in there because it does get so much better. 😘💜 Love the tattoo 😍 Thank you for checking in 💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Hang in there honey, you’ll get through it, and it’s ok to be down at times. It gives you something to look forward to. Just give your little man lots of love and encouragement and he’ll come through just fine. All my love from Merrill Wisconsin. Happy hooking.
I think we've all been experiencing some of these same things, so we understand. We love you and we'll all be here whenever you're ready!!!
Your hair got so long how your baby welcome back
Hi Nadia!!
You are really amazing I only watch “ bag o day “ crystal because she’s easy to understand . But you my dear is amazing . I started to make the granny square for the GG cardigan . I’ll pray all is well with your son . He sounds adorable . Sorry to hear about your disease. My sons best friend has it. She’s having a tough time as well praying for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awww, welcome back! Don't *ever* feel bad for taking care of yourself and taking that time! I haven't picked up a hook in months! I'm an essential, and am exhausted. I just don't have the energy to crochet at the end of the day anymore. I understand 100%! You are loved, thank you!🥰
I can't believe the baby is a year and half already! I hope you can find the help for him to get his speech corrected. I can clearly hear the hope in your voice!😇🙏 You're on the right path.
Thank you, I really needed to hear that today. I feel ya, it's been difficult to pick up the hook after such a busy day working with my son and trying to get him to speak. We are advancing with the sign language and working on getting him more sensory related toys to help him learn. I think with this new schedule, it will allow me to crochet a little bit each day and maybe get something accomplished soon. I admire the fact that you are pushing through. I can't thank you enough for your hard work during this difficult time for all of us. Essential workers aren't appreciated enough. ((hugs)) ~Nadia
@@YARNutopia don’t stress! My daughter started walking at 10 months BUT she didn’t start talking until she was 2! She did go to speech mainly for “processing” issues. Much love!
(I wrote that before I heard you say that! Same with my daughter! She is 25 now!)
Yea looking forward to the shawl pattern . Shawls are fun to do and the perfect gift
Love that scarf!! I'm working on one similar but with 3 colors changing every 3rd row. QUESTION, is it better to cut all my yarn ends and weave them in, or do how I do and drag my yarn up then crochet a lil sc border to cover it? I see everyone else cutting at each row. I'm kinda new. What works best and why?
If anyone can help me please i'd greatly appreciate it❤...
Blessings to you with your son♡♡♡ You are so beautiful!!
Nadia you are such a Beautiful spirit. Don’t worry about anything. Everything will work itself out. I am praying for you and your family and sending you a lot of HUGS🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏾🤗🙏🏾🤗🤗🌹❤️
Welcome back. Take your time. We are all still right here. Good luck with Nassar and his speech. I'm sure things will work out for you all.
Thank you Nadia! You’re so wonderful for keeping us all updated on your life! Parenthood is THE most difficult job on earth! You’re are doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing with your son! You look beautiful! I will keep you in my prayers always! Such a pretty tatt! 😍 Happy hooking everyone! Stay fabulous! Stay safe! 🤗🧶💕
Honestly, I miss you so much. But I have a son with 16 years, Jose Maria and a baby with 1 year, Oliver ( yes, I'm crazy 🤣) and sometimes it's hard, specially with the baby. So I understand, family comes first 😉 Take care of yourself and your family, we'll be here waiting for you. And don't worry about Naser, all the babies manage to sit down (Oliver did it with almost 9 months) or walk or talk. Maybe he only needs more time, like Oliver. Hugs from Spain 🤗
I actually got a LOT done in 2020 (at least 9 full and/or queen size afghans as well as other smaller projects). I have, sad to say, no projects completed in 2021. I haven't wanted to pick up my hook to finish some wips that only need a LITTLE bit more to finish. I share your lack of cro-jo even tho the projects catch my eyes. May good luck and successes continue with Naser's communication.
It is lovely to see you back:) I know 2020 was challenging for all, but you seem to have had so much more on your shoulders. Two is such a difficult age for any child (and parents), but it seems you and your husband are on the right path to dealing with your son's challenges. I read previous comments and am glad you are getting encouragement from those who have had similar problems. I have GI/immune issues and follow Dr. Amy Myers (The Autoimmune Solution) online. Think you would benefit from her advice, if you aren't already following her. In 2021, I am working on a bunch of projects - an eight-star blanket for Project Linus, preemie blankets and hats for Charli's Love, hat/scarf sets for Operation Gratitude. Some days it is hard to get my crojo going, but because these are for charity, pick up my hook and then I feel better:) Of course, just looking at all the wonderful yarns on-line makes me itch to crochet. LOL! Am looking forward to your scarf pattern. Be kind to yourself! I will be keeping you and your family in thought and prayer. P.S. Love the tattoo😊
That's okay Nadia. Your the best. My daughter and I learn a lot from you. And we learn from you too. Happy New Year. And stay safe.
I have made 3 preemie baby blankets and almost done with the 4th. I have made 1 regular size baby blanket and a cute bumble bee amigurumi to go with it. I did the Furls CAL with the champagne bottle and 2 glasses, I made a gingerbread man Amigurumi (was behind on my Crochet Society boxes) Made a cutsie bunny, octopus and cup of hot chocolate amigurumis with the yarn from the last Crochet Society boxes yarn cause I didn't like the projects in the booklet. And last I am almost done with a shark cross body bag I am making for my daughter. And almost forgot did the CAL for January with Jayda in Stitches (there are 12 parts to it).
I haven’t finished anything yet, but I will soon in the coming weeks. A gift of a blanket for my dad, and some slippers for my mom. And Nasir will be OK, some children don’t talk right away. I didn’t speak well until I was about 3. Now you can’t shut me up.
Sending love and positive thoughts to you and your family. ❤️ 🧶
Hey lovely, you should never thing new year new me.
It's new year BETTER me :)
So so lovely to hear your baby is making his wonderful advancements ❤️
My son is Autistic and has Intellectual Disability. He is 11 now, but still speaks in a way that isn't typical. But he does communicate A LOT, in his way. He takes things he's heard on shows, movies, or phrases he's heard us say a lot, and uses them to communicate.
One thing I've learned over these past several years with my son is this: he was always communicating, despite what many experts said about him simply "babbling" or "randomly saying things he heard without meaning." They weren't random or without meaning. And I hope the experts you're seeing aren't saying that to you either. Children and people in general are always communicating.
Have you seen the movie, "Life Animated"? It's about how a boy who had trouble talking started using phrases from Disney movies to communicate. It's a great movie.
IDK what exactly your son is going through, and maybe what he is experiencing is different than that boy in the movie, or my boy, but even if it's different, the struggle is similar. So I just want to show Solidarity
Hi, I don't always check in (I'm trying to not be on my phone/laptop/computer as much) but I had to right now because the still of you that is w/the video notification made it look like you were crying. We all get down once in awhile, especially during winter. I think that winter (less light) and the whole covid thing has really made hard times even harder. I'm not a nurse/doctor but I do have 4 (grown) children and 6 grandchildren plus neices/nephews & friend's children (one has 9 or 10 children!) so I just wanted to say that all children are different, do thinks at different times, etc. I know one boy who didn't say a whole lot till he was a lot older than your son. I know it's good to get advice from medical personnel but only you (& your husband - but more so you because moms are like that-we're just cool like that) know your son. The older he gets the more intune you'll be. Also, follow your gut feeling. You'd be amazed how right you are. Don't feel that just because the doctors/nurses have a degree makes them smarter. Oh my, I didn't mean to go on & on about this. I want you to read this but don't post this. It's for your eyes only 👀😂.
I don't have FB or Instagram anymore so I'll have to check in here more often. I also have snapchat but not sure how long. Is the tattoo place the one on Caledonia St? I always wanted to get a tattoo but I have too many health issues & those were one thing that I can't do. We're having our house remodeled, have to move half of the house out plus we have to move out. Will be 2-3 months.
I'm telling you all of this so hopefully you're feeling better. I just hope I bring enough yarn/patterns w/me. Course, I could always say that I need to buy more yarn.
Take care!
Don’t feel like you’re alone in your no crojo. I have been the same way the past several months. I have major anxiety and 2020 added so much fuel to the fire. Just know that you’re not alone!!! And what you’re going through is perfectly normal. I feel 2021 is going to be good and that it’s going to be a year of healing. Hang in there sweet lady and remember “it came to pass, and it will. Much love ❤️

Come on hunny you got this!!! Crochet away, and let it melt the stress away. You are amazing don't forget that, you been through so much, first your health and now your son you will be great.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰☺☺☺☺☺☺

So yes God is Good. God will be there for you and your family ... you can do it motherhood and crochet ect...
So nice hearing from you . I pray for your good health and for Nasser’s continued positive progress . I just made the GIGI cardigan and I am in love with it! I look forward to your projects for 2021! 💜💜
It’s good to see you! Happy New Year! So far in 2020 I’ve finished a lap blanket that I started in December, I made a baby blanket for a baby that will be born next week, I made three hats and sent them to a friend who is living in a very cold part of the country right now, and I am 3/4 of the way done with a large blanket that someone commissioned me to make. I’m actually making more progress than usual this year! I know you’ll get back into the swing of things quickly. Everyone has his and downs.
I've made 2 baby hats, 1 baby blanket and I've started another baby blanket..I'm expecting a boy in July.
Hang in there my oldest daughter started speech therapy and occupational therapy at 2 she is 11 now and does work fast and yes it can be overwhelming.. praying for you all
My friend's youngest boy did not say a word until he was three. He had missed all the milestones for communication and had been seeing a therapist but was making no real progress. He was with me for the day to give his mom a break and we went for a walk into the countryside. He saw a rabbit run down into its burrow and started laughing so much, it was like a peal of bells! I said "The rabbit ran into his hole" and he answered excitedly "Hole! Hole!". After a pause he chuckled again and said "Hole! Hole!" - it was adorable after the years of silence. He literally had never even said mama or dadda before that. At the end of the day I took him home and my friend asked him if he had had a nice time and he burst out laughing and yelled "Hole! Hole!" over and over and over.... Of course, I had to explain what on earth he meant!
Scroll forward three months when I next got the chance to visit the family again. He stood in the hallway with shades on and a guitar round his neck! "Ooh! What's that?" I asked him enthusiastically, the way you do with a toddler. He gave me a withering look, which I probably deserved for being patronising, LOL. "This, Auntie, is my instrument!" he informed me. "I shall play it for you if you would like me to".
Sorry this is a little long but it just shows that milestones being missed isn't the end of the world. Sometimes they just need their own pacing. Much love to you and your family, Nadia.
Ohhhh, Nadia hon ♥ don't worrying about us you take care of you and your family. We will still be here. I just finished a virus shawl using bernat pop in the color sizzle. I have been wanting more ideas for blankets. My goal this year is to have blankets for most of my family done so I currently have 5 blanket WIPS.
Don’t worry that your not present constantly. 2020 has kicked us all. I decided to finish anything leftover before I start anything new. Waiting on your super long scarf. Stay safe
Don't apologize!!! Your a new MOM!! We know how it is. I stopped crocheting for over 8yrs because I never got to sit down for more than 5 mins. So glad I have the time now.
Oh girl, don't worry about your son being behind. They are never 100% themselves when they are around strangers. He will learn to talk trust me! He will be fine my daughter didn't talk till she was 3 years old and I didn't worry, cuz I went through the same with both my sons. Now they talk to much! They also fight and argue with each other all the time! We will be here whenever you get back! Your patterns are very unique and one of a kind! I know you can't feel to good with your stomach bothering you constantly. I have the same problems and sometimes I don't want to do anything at all, much less filming and crocheting. Please take care and get better first, before taking on to much at once. Maybe start slow? Hope your able to at least read, what and how everyone feels about it. Mostly everyone wants you to feel better first and foremost!
Totally understand Nadia...I’ve been going through now what I thought would be a momentary flare up of my Crohn’s disease as I’ve been prone to having from time to time but momentary has turned into almost 3 weeks of recurrent bathroom trips, cramping, diarrhea, vomiting...I don’t have to tell you..glad to see that Nasir is getting help..my grandson was diagnosed with sensory issues a couple of years ago...he was very delayed in his speech but now he never stops talking..lol...take care of yourself...we will all be here when you are ready.
I have finished a plain old single crochet velvet hat for my husband. And I just grabbed a cardigan that I put down about a year ago and I really want to wear it so I am doing that. It is just sewrellas easy cardigan. All double crochets. My middle son was placed on the spectrum at about five years old. He was not able to speak well, he was very shy... to the point of it being a handicap almost. Like he would only talk to me or his brother. And that was in Kota language... no one else could understand him even if he did talk to them. Naser will be just what Naser is supposed to be. Time will bring new milestones. You guys are giving him extra help and that is awesome. Don’t listen to other people if they try to compare him to other children. There is no need, we all have our very own strengths and weaknesses. He’s probably just too busy to slow down and focus right now. Active boys are very very special! I have a couple of them.
Please don't apologize, dear girl! You have a lot on your plate and being a mom is a very challenging job some days. I'm just so happy to see you and always appreciate your sweet demeanor. It sounds like you are on the right track for your beautiful little boy but new things can be overwhelming. Please don't apologize for being human. We love you just the way you are.
Unfortunately Nas is in that grey area between 18 months to 3 years is where kids really start learning to speak and express themselves and most of the time he’s going to be frustrated and you’re stressed because he can’t voice yet what he wants so words are just being thrown at him and he can’t really associate the 2 together yet. Because once they learn to talk they NEVER stop lol. I gave my daughter 2 choices and we started juice or milk. Oatmeal or cereal. And her picking milk is repeat the word and hold it up and she’d nod. She’d reach for more food and I’d say more please. And eventually she started mimicking the words. She was always a little behind the rest of the kids but she just wanted to do things on her time. Nas will be the same. Don’t let the doctors worry you. I know you’re an amazing mama and you’re doing everything right. Just takes time
You are taking care of yourself, then family. You can't give to others unless you can take care of yourself. If you get drained you have nothing to give. Hopefully all understand. Just if you can keep us in the loop, so we can pray for you. And also know you are still OK. So many people have passed or had bad things happen and when you don't hear from them you wonder. Thank you for sharing your struggles.
Hi! I just wanted to let you know my son had the same symptoms as yours and we got him all the same help and it helped him so amazingly much! Hes 14 now and doing great he needed to find his voice with signing first and then started talking very soon after. All the luck And blessings to you and your family and thank you for all you do with tutorials etc.🧶🧣💌 and to your son (and you and your family) 🤟❗
Welcome back!! never say sorry for putting famiily first! We are not going anywhere and believe me i got a huge pile of WIP's to finish lol right now doing the 365 days of granny squares and having a blast with it! but i have way more hobbies then i have time so my WIP's will take a while! hang inthere and we will be here waiting! xxx
I love shawls. Can’t wait to see that one! My granddaughter is turning 2 in may and she’s not talking much...just more, garbled more milk, you do etc.... then sometimes a complete sentence out of the blue it’s been fun
Everyone forgets, that it's ok...to not be ok sometimes. Life is never easy.. do what you need to do for you and your family. We all need to recharge sometimes... so hang in there. All in all, 2020, wasn't a bad year here, I know many battled a lot of things... we were blessed to not have to. Take care and stay safe!
this year i have made 2 little soap savers and 1 crochet Link to the Past hat for a friend in Red Heart Panther Pink and she LOVES IT. I didn't have enough yarn left to do the front loop lumps but it still looks great. Right now I am working on a giant yoshi egg with this green and white peaches and cream giant yarn cone ive had for years.
Happy yoir back! Have a question, have you thought about russian knot the yarn so you dont have ends to sew?
So good to see your beautiful face again! Missed you. Tattoo looks great :)
Mommies have to take care of themselves, so they can be there for their families! You look so beautiful and happy at the end of the video. Isn't it funny, we used to wish for just a few days at home, to not talk with anyone, just to do what we wanted, and then the quarantine hit and we got what we wished for, but we forgot to say how many days.. So glad you have professional help for your son, he will continue to make amazing strides, and you will be able to have some peace of mind. Take care and know you are loved by a great community of people, brought together by a little hooking. 😘
Yeah Nadia so nice to see you. Hang in there you have a lot on yr plate take yr time do what you need to do. LOVE the tattoo. You look marvelous ☺️ Your crojo will come back I think we all lose it sometime and that insane 2020 has us all a little down but its going to all be good. Take care
Keep you in my prayers for things to get better for you. I have a Great Grandson that wasn't talking much and after some tutoring he's finally talking. He also learned sign language and so did we. 💕
Nadia please take care of yourself first💙 you are appreciated and loved so much💙 know this we will be here when you are ready. Nasir such a wonderful family and support group behind him he will find his way💙 I am sending prayers hugs and kisses your way. God has a plan for all of us know you are in his hands you are never alone let him carry you until you feel strong again💙 It was lovely seeing your beautiful smile again💙
Miss you. It will get better with your son. my son has autism it was a adjustment. But as a mom you help and make it work. My son learned some sign language he didn't speak till he was 6 now he's 14 and is super chatty... You got this
This is why it’s called life. No matter what, things will get better and you will be stronger for it. Your mo-jo is still there, it’s recalculating.
Family first and patients my grandson Is autistic and he is 7 and he speaks very little and just put him and you first before anything
as an slp myself, please remember, development is never permanent at this age! Your son is learning and you are not a bad mom nor did you miss anything by having to ask for extra help. No one can do it all or be all. Just love on him and be there supporting him. Be willing to give yourself grace as you have to cope with so, so many other issues most mommas dont!!
Things will work out. My grandson is Autistic and we did behavioral therapy and speech and language with sign language and as he got older they used pictures for language. He also needed the sensory therapy. But at age 5 he started talking like he talked his whole life.
Starting your gorgeous GG cardigan. You have such talent for your designs and are such a good teacher. Hang in there - life can be hard without added covid. Take care
How are you doing? Are still making videos on RUclips?

I just finished a temperature blanket
I love the tattoo. Be careful they can be addictive 🥰
God bless you, your son and your family.
Welcome back!! Take your time. Sign language is really helpful when you have a young one. I used to sign to my son it helped a lot knowing we could communicate.
