"How we told our KIDS we were dating." Recap
Jess drops the older three kids to school and walks home opening the vlog. She is driving a stroller with scooters in it - not Addie, as expected. She spends a good solid minute rambling about the neighborhood she lives in and how the kids can walk to school and apparently, she's been taking them the "long way" to school and found a shorter route that takes half the time. Addie is at home with Chris and Landen, and all three of them woke up earlier than Jess and the older three kids. She contemplated not bringing the stroller, but was actually smart and brought it so she wouldn't have to lug her phone, camera, and three scooters home.
Back home, Addie is standing at the baby gate and is 10 months old the day this is being filmed (so she's somewhat back on schedule). She sings "You are my Sunshine" to Landen as he's coming down the stairs and waking up to go to school. Jess films Addie trying to crawl out the door to escape and Sadie takes her chance a little faster. RUN SADIE RUNNNNNNNNNNNN!
Chris vlogs - he is leaving soon (but maybe not that day?) to go get Caden and Tommy. He films Sadie climbing up the screen door (that IS a screen door, right? LOL), jumping down, and meowing. Jessica is at physical therapy and Chris was contemplating taking Addie to get his car washed and ready for the long trip, but when getting a bath that morning and getting dressed, she was completely fussy and so Chris laid down with her to calm her down and boom...napping. He at least got her half dressed? He said he'd rather mow the lawn than get a baby dressed...lawl.
Jess is home and "accuses" Chris of "checking out" SpongeBob. O.o Anyway, Addie keeps pulling/touching Jess's shirt and Jess goes into a little bit on her physical therapy and why she's going. Her pain has decreased a little bit since she has started going, but hasn't fully gone away. Insurance only approves a certain number of visits and then you have to resubmit requests for it, etc. Jess then launches into Tommy and Caden coming and explains the custody schedule with them since people are apparently confused - C&J have them the majority of the summer, pretty much all of school breaks, every other Christmas, etc. Breastfeeding shot yayyyyy *eyeroll* They also get T&C a minimum of one weekend a month, so this is apparently one of their weekends. That must suck to drive all afternoon from school Friday and then go back home Sunday...
It's 10 month old picture time! She shows off Lilia, Landen, and Kyson and Kaden at 10 months. Chris is trying to make Addie smile for the picture and Addie takes a bunch of steps in random bursts. Chris baits Addie with a basketball and Jess counts out Addie's steps in the corner of the vlog - four, sit, four again, sit again, then five and finally she makes it to the basketball. They do it again - four steps, play break, then fourteen with a couple of squats.
Chris, Jess, and Addie are in the car and they make a "1 2 Step" (Ciara) reference while including a bit of the music in the video...uhhh girl? No! Anyway, Janell is in the back seat and they're off to go get another camera, because the one Jess is using apparently "sucks." She's getting ready to vlog the next couple of days as well as Lilia's "cheer thing," so she wants to have a better camera. They buy another G7X Mark 2 and she does a quick "unboxing" type thing.
Chris is going to get Landen and Kaden has a dentist appointment. Jess tells Addie not to touch the blinds. They are watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Addie has a pacifier...whattttt? Apparently Kaden is the only one of her kids to really use a pacifier (until 2 1/2), the others typically refused it. She found it among doll stuff and Jess doesn't think she wants to make a habit out of it since she's already 10 months old (smart). Jess looks at Addie's OH SO RED LONG HAIR GUYS and tries putting a tiny bit of Addie's barely existent hair in a ponytail. She barely manages it and then asks her if she'll have enough hair for a ponytail when she's 5.
Chris asks Landen how school went - it went well. Kaden tells Jess they are exercising at school. Alyna and Lilia both wore Trolls shirts to school today. She apparently gets some of the nice clothes from sparkleinpink.com. Kyson is doing handstands on the stairs and going down....uhhh...watch your kids instead of making a joke out of it!!!! Kaden does a happy dance about having to go to the dentist.
Chris opens a box with a new bike ramp - the old ramp broke because someone ran over it. Uhhhh try not leaving it in the road?! "How rude" uhhh YOU are rude leaving shit in the road that can cause an accident!
Chris takes Kaden and Landen to Kaden's dentist appointment. Chris calls Jess and Kaden did really well at his appointment. It was Kaden's first cavity, apparently. Lilia does some dancing at cheer practice - it's the last one before the big game. Jess finds Addie in the shower splashing in water and eating shampoo, because she turned for "two seconds" when Addie was sitting in the floor and she went to get a kid out of the bath and found that. Sure Jess. Sure. The older four kids are going to bed (Lilia/Kyson/Kaden) or already sleeping (Landen).
FAQ Friday time - how did you tell your kids that Chris was going to be your boyfriend? Answer - they never apparently used the word "boyfriend." So...Daddy then?
They started out as Chris being "Mommy's friend" and then it turned to them always being together and the kids constantly being around each other...it "just happened" and blended very "smoothly." Okay.
End of vlog
*Side note - in the comments, someone asked how the boys feel when Gabe picks Lilia up and wonder why their dad doesn't do it for them and Jess is "writing it down for a future FAQ. Next week is Drake bashing, YAYYYYYY! [/sarcasm]
