    My son is special needs . He has a gentic disorder . He is non verbal so he can’t talk or tell me what’s wrong . Learning disability also and many other things wrong that will effect him his whole life.
    I just wanted to say thank you for doing your videos because he loves watching you with your tractors and with the cows . Your RUclips videos are the only thing he will sit down and watch and he loves it .
    So you have a super fan! 🌻🥰 His name is Corbin he is 4 years old and he is your biggest fan!
