[music]
(sighs) Oh, what is that?
Better? Right now I have contacts in.
Which I haven't used in a long time.
But I think I'm gonna go back to using contacts. We'll see.
If you can hear.... (baby crying in background)
Do you hear that?
(baby crying faintly)
We're still sleep training and he is tired.
I'll hold him and he'll fall asleep. Put him in the crib and he wakes up.
So it's been hard, but it's okay.
One day.... it's been two days Jenna's been gone.
She left at 10 am yesterday so that's pretty much all day.
I have him by myself, but today.... today
we're taking advantage of Instacart food shopping because
cause I didn't want to go out today, but it's important for me.
To pay a little bit of extra money is fine.
If you're a single parent... excuse me if you're a single parent,
or for whatever reason if you can't go out shopping,
see if your local grocery store has some sort of delivery service.
Sometimes it's worth it. I don't use it all the time.
Cause there's a $10 delivery fee and a tip and all that.
Adds a little bit more, but it works.
Right now what I think I'm gonna do is move a bunch of stuff from downstairs
where we have our set up of the couch and TV and everything like that,
and I'm gonna move it upstairs.
Then take some of those boxes and put them in the garage.
Maybe put some back downstairs. We'll see.
Yeah, somebody's crying.
I'm gonna check on my phone.
Really need to comb my hair. I will do it sometime.
But not right now. Um...
(sighs)
Yeah, come here.
Yay!
Ohhh!
Trying to get him away from the door, but I mean,
but we don't have all the cords blocked perfectly.
But that's okay.
I set up a little bit upstairs just to get everything cleared.
Makes me feel better. Yes it does!
Just ate lunch. Made tacos.
If you see Instagram, or if you follow Instagram you'll see it.
I think. Um....
Ouch, that hurt.
Mmhm
Say hi. Hi.
That's our little cute goat.
Yes you are a goat. Yeah, he is a goat.
(yawns) Well, right now it's 5:48p.
I'm tired! (laughs)
Yeah! I'm tired.
I'm tired... hold on.
Hold on.
No, no, no! (laughs)
Okay, well guess I'm gonna hold the camera. Yeah.
It's Sunday night and.... I don't know.
Feels weird cause yesterday didn't work cause Jenna was gone.
Today I didn't work cause Jenna's gone.
I don't know what day it feels like to me.
Tomorrow will be a little bit different cause we do have an appointment... well a play date.
I'm not gonna film the play date cause
it's actually with a group of people and I've never met any of them.
Well, except for my one friend. She's gonna be there.
She doesn't allow her child on social media, like at all.
Plus, like I said, it's a new group
and I've never met them. So better now film... or film.
Um... then...
Got my car inspection set up,
tired rotation, or change for my tires.
Maybe dinner... I don't know.
The cats are so scared of Mikko.
Okay, it's 11:00 at night and I need to go to sleep.
I stayed awake and I really...
I had to caption the vlog for tomorrow.
I just totally forgot to caption throughout the week and
so I needed to do that. I think it was a 18 minute video.
I think it was about 10:40p I lied in bed
and I was playing on my phone and I need to go to sleep.
I'm probably gonna have to wake up in the middle of the night or really...
freaking early. See ya tomorrow.
Hello! Can you see me okay?
It's like 8:00... almost 8:30. Um...
Our play group thing is at 10:00a.
Again, not gonna be filming.
Um... just because
like I mentioned, she doesn't like social media.
Her child on social media, excuse me. But whatever.
Mikko's been, he's did really good last night.
He slept from about 7:30a - 8:00ish
and he slept the entire night until almost 6:30 this morning.
Which is actually "late" for him.
He typically wakes up at 5 or 5:30, so I'm like YES!
Yay, we're gonna have breakfast then then go play.
Yeah, so we're just kind of playing right now.
I picked a bunch of books cause we're involved in, I think it's spelled
Osborne or something like that.
But Jenna was involved in that.
You know where you have a book party thing.
So we got several books from that.
So I have to pick those.
Yeah, so I think we're just gonna play
and like I said, the group thing is at 10:00a.
I need to...
get tires in my car.
Well, no, I can do that later
we'll be done probably about 12:00 or 12:30p.
Yeah, that boy is crazy.
He loves crawling over everything and everywhere.
I'm gonna get back to doing whatever I was doing. I forgot.
But sleep is going really well.
Haven't had to wake up, bring him to bed or anything. Woo!
Hey, so I just finished at our playgroup.
Obviously I did not film anything there.
Again just respect for the other parents, children and whatnot.
But I do have one small, little, short video
of Mikko just playing by himself.
I'm gonna include that um...
I'll make sure there is no sound on there cause I don't want to
you know encroach on their sound privacy.
But I'll include that now.
[music]
Oh!
Um, Mikko is sleeping.
Been almost 2 hours.
Cause today in total he slept maybe...
...eh, 40 minutes in total.
In the morning he pretty much had no nap.
Literally nothing.
Then in the afternoon he maybe slept 40 minutes.
Maybe
So he went to sleep early.
Well, earlier than normal. But whatever.
So he is sleeping.
I just took a bath cause my back was hurting me quite a bit.
And.... hold on.
Ugh, cats.
So like I said, I took a bath and am chilling out in bed.
It's about 9p and yeah that's about it.
That's pretty much all we did today.
We had a lot of fun at playgroup.
Got my car inspection
and my snow tires put on.
But that was for 2 hours and was really boring.
So then we came home and
he's been really crabby cause he didn't sleep well.
Yeah, that's it.
Yes, I look half way decent.
I haven't combed my hair, but I do have some makeup on!
It's 9:00 I think. Yeah, it's 9 in the morning.
Mikko probably woke up about 6.... something.
I put him down for his nap around 8:40a.
He was tired so I put him down to sleep.
Now I'm just stuffing some diapers.
Do some laundry
clean the cat litter,
and try to get a few things done before he wakes up.
I do work short tonight 6-8
and I have a babysitter coming and...
watch me stuff diapers. Woo!
[music]
I don't know. What are we doing today? Nothing.
Just uh stayed inside all day. Snowed a little but not too bad.
Did some laundry, diapers, ate some lunch.
Got the mail.... boring.
He's eating some grapes, drinking some water.
Oh... no.
Guess we're gonna have to take the water away for a minute.
He's banging it on the table.
Yeah, I have a babysitter coming at like... what time is it?
In about an hour and a half.
Yeah, babysitter's coming in an hour and a half.
Probably gonna eat a little bit early and then pick up something
later, maybe. I don't know. Depends on what time I need to get home.
Hopefully it will finish at 8:00 cause I told her 8:30
and then maybe I can pickup some food. We shall see.
Yeah, sorry it's been a boring day.
Like I said, I just work the two hours tonight
Tomorrow I work at night.
During the day we have someone coming to
fix the windshield on Jenna's car. But that's about it.
You don't want your grapes?
He took it, spit it out, and put his pacifier in.
Silly boy!
[music]
So we are at Wegmans right now. Got a few things.
I don't know what time it is, but I know we need to be back by 4p.
Cause you got a new babysitter.
Yeah
I'm gonna pick up something quick for dinner
and then we'll leave. You ready?
Sorry, I'm using my phone right now.
I think my camera is in my purse but I'm not sure.
He's having so much fun with the curtains.
We were playing "Where's Mikko?", a little game, before.
Um, yeah, just got back from work.
Ate some dinner.... yeah!
Like I said, back from work and...
babysitter said everything went really well.
I was a little bit concerned
cause when the babysitter came he was sleeping,
like taking a nap. I wasn't sure
how he would react if he work up and no one was here that he knew.
I mean, I think he's met her before,
but I think he was young, so obviously he won't remember her if he's seen her once.
She said everything went really well.
Um, he doesn't really have Stranger Danger concept which I guess is good.
Hold on.
Okay, sorry.
I just had to move him.
Like I said, he doesn't have the Stranger Danger concept yet
which is kind of good right now.
But we don't usually need babysitters. Hopefully not for a while.
Jenna will be back tomorrow morning around 10:30a.
And.... that's about it.
Just kind of chilling out.
Probably is not going to sleep early because
apparently he slept until like 6:00p.
From 3:00 something till 6:00p. Which is a long time!
Hopefully he'll sleep... not... too late.
We shall see. Bye bye. See ya tomorrow.
Okay, sorry, it is like 3:00 in the afternoon.
Yes, Jenna is back home. Woo!
But she's sick.
So she's sleeping right now.
She needed more sleep. She's fully congested,
and has a cough. It's really bad. Yay!
I just felt really bad. She came from the airport
... sorry I didn't film any of that. I was busy.
We picked her up and as she's walking she said, "Ugh I'm sick.
Can't give you a kiss. Can't kiss Mikko or anything."
I was like DARN, but um.
I'm curious, today I'm probably not gonna film too much,
I'm wondering if you guys would be interested in any food videos?
I know typically we have the vlog
and then on Wednesdays we have Deaf culture, interpreting, sign language related.
Then Friday is something different, whether it's parenting, vegan, whatever.
Would you guys be interested in food videos?
I don't know. I mean, right now I'm making
one of my favorite crockpot, slow cooker recipes.
It's really easy and good. So I don't know if that's something
you'r interested in. Let me know!
Alright, do you want to see what it's like when the baby wakes up? Let's see.
It's really dark. Hold on.
(Mikko crying) NO
Okay hold on. Hey!
Okay let's get mum.
Okay sorry, I'm a little bit off and everything.
Today I'm not filming anything. Yes I'm talking with our friends.
Yeah? Um...
it's Friday and I haven't filmed because
I've been working. I worked 9:00a to 2:00p and then
I came home and ate cause I forgot my lunch and blah, blah, blah, whatever.
It's like 4:30 right now. Jenna is sleeping. I let her sleep
while I'm watching him.
Then I have to go back to work 6:30 to 10:00p. Whatever.
That's not my point. Today I wanted to...
film a short little blurb and then that's probably all I'll film cause I work late
and Jenna doesn't feel like filming herself right now cause she's sick.
I've just been really sad recently, um
my friends Tiff and Cari.
I know Cari. We grew up and went to the same highschool.
Her and her wife Tiff, they have a son... well
I'm not even gonna say his name. That's fine it's none of my business.
Um, they have a Youtube channel.
and it's become really popular.
You might have seen.... there was like a
viral video that was out a while ago
about a woman with the black facemask.
She ripped it off and it was really painful. I don't know if you've seen it.
But I will link it down below.
That way they can get more view and money.
But, they reason I'm talking about it is because
recently Tiff made a video, just a short one.
The video said...
saying something about the two of them are taking an extended break from Youtube.
They don't know when they'll be back, if they'll be back.
I was really sad about that.
She just kind of mentioned in generalities
that they didn't feel safe anymore
and again you can watch the video. I'll link that up here.
and... well up here.
I'll link it down below as well so you can watch it.
You can subscribe to them. I don't think they're gonna be posting for a bit,
but you can watch previous videos. They're a really cute family.
Just try to give them as much love and support as you can.
I just feel really horrible because
people are... I mean whatever happened in their situation is just awful.
For them to not feel safe to show themselves on Youtube.
You know, why do people feel the need to
write mean comments or rude things
or threaten people's lives. I mean I don't know if that's their situation.
But that happens with a lot of famous Youtubers.
They get death threats and all of these things.
It's a lot and I feel so awful for them!
I just want to encourage you, if you don't like something on Youtube
or you don't agree or whatever, just don't watch it.
Don't subscribe to them, unsubscribe to them, whatever.
Same thing with me. You don't like me, you don't like what we show, fine!
Don't subscribe to me. Don't watch. That is fine.
But don't leave mean comments or rude things
or threaten people or whatever!
It's just not necessary.
It's just awful, and I can even...
believe this family has to suffer through that. It's just wrong.
I'm just really upset about it.
But whatever, that's all I wanted to say for now.
Um, if you can...
like I said, if you can... I think their videos are captioned.
I'll have to look again, but I think they are.
Um, go subscribe to their channel.
Even thought they're not gonna be making videos and I totally respect that,
Still, give them love.
If you want to, leave positive messages on their social media.
I'm not sure if they're gonna check it often, but please do.
I will link all of their information down below.
I just want to show them that even though...
they need their privacy right now,
still give them love and support them
and hopefully one day they'll feel safe enough to come back to Youtube.
Have that family that they had.
It's just really sad.
That's all I wanted to mention and film right now.
I will film more tomorrow on Saturday!
Alright, see you guys tomorrow.
Woooo!
My first ponytail. I don't think I showed it to you guys yesterday.
Say good morning to your friends.
Let's see Mikko.
Say hi!
He's in his star, 4th of July, kind of reminds me of pride, American pants.
You don't have a shirt. Where is your shirt?
It's probably dirty from breakfast.
True, yeah.
Jenna is still sick so I'm not gonna show her.
Just cause she doesn't feel like being filmed right now.
Right.
She said she's not camera friendly right now.
Yes it is scary. You would be scared.
Believe me I'm scared right now. That's why I'm leaving.
That's why I'm going to work.
Yep, I'm gonna leave my son to the wolves.
We're gonna go outside and play in the snow.
He's never really played in the snow
cause he was too young before.
So we shall see!
[music]
[Jill] Mmmm! (background music)
(Jenna and Jill laughing)
(spoon tapping) (Jenna laughing)
(Jenna and Jill laughing)
I wanted to explain, that clip was
Mikko's first time using a spoon.
Suppose to be ice cream, but
I think I just used to much milk and
maybe the bananas weren't frozen enough.
Wrong formula.
Yeah, exactly.
But it wasn't bad for his first time using a spoon.
It was pretty funny.
I think it's cute him trying to share with me.
Yeah, the ice cream.
But I think he did good. We're gonna try more.
Try things like forks and stuff like that later.
You did really good!
Okay a few seconds ago he had the pink crate
he was taking the green box an putting it into the pink crate,
and taking it in, and putting it out.
Of course I get the camera and he stops.
Yeah!
