What I love the most about Aurora is no matter what is going on in her life she is always smiling. We all should learn that from her. Hope this helps her talk better.

Clearly her expressive language skills are behind her receptive language skills. I’m praying that this surgery will help with it.

It's crazy how a lip tie and tongue tie can restrict ones ability to try and speak I'm glad her speech is getting so much better

"I'm so sorry. I'm not trying to hurt you". Oh, Aaron, that was just so sweet! Communication is so important! And I really love how you guys talk and explain things to your kids. So excited to see Aurora's speech developing! Lots of love!!

I am saying little prayers that the lip/tongue tie surgery ALSO corrects the very poor sleep/seizure problems. Wouldn’t THAT be a huge wonderful miracle? Her speech correction, I can already see, is happening! I am so happy for Aurora. 💕

I think it would be such a cool idea to ask Aurora to say the same word every day or every week so you can see how she progresses from now till whenever you feel like she said the word “correctly.”

Aurora is such an intelligent, adorable and beautiful little girl. Praying that this surgery is gonna help her with her speech to enable her to express herself better, and for a brighter future❤

Hi crazy people I love how you have taken children who are from broken family situations and given them all the love they need to be happy people, I wish I'D been lucky enough to have been taken in by a lovely family like yours when I was in care , I was in care from 2 years old until I was 16 .I love my wife and children with all my heart ,just like you love all of your beautiful children. Xx

I think Aurora can improve her talking if she’s gonna be in speech therapy, just a little suggestion. Prayers for her quick recovery!

Aurora is so cute. shes looking more like Jamie recently which is so cute because she looks like her sister (bio mom) but also looks like crystal which is insane! i remember reading a study that said adopted kids start to look more like their adopted parents because of their mannerisms, facial expressions, etc. how sweet! so glad she is sorted now!

I’m a kindergarten teacher. A suggestion when you move to the valley,. Get her speech lessons and she will catch up. She’s super smart. Looking at your mouth to see what you are doing to make the sounds. Speech teachers will just catch her up faster and most know games to make it fun.

My son was born tongue tied, in the UK they wouldn't operate till he was 5yrs old, but it stretched itself when he was 3yrs old it took him 6 mths to speak clearly & catch up with his age group at nursery, but he was fine after that. That was 26 yrs ago HD hasn't stopped talking since 😊

I’m so glad Aurora's surgery went well, I know it's going to make a big difference I am so excited for her!!

Omg, I'm in tears watching this. Her words are amazing, my heart is melting. Well done Aurora, your such a special and beautiful girl. She's so brave and it's going to make such a difference..

I really can't wait to hear Aurora talk and talk like little girls do!!!

Aurora has come such a long way since I’ve been watching you all. She is such a good listener and very well behaved. I can’t believe how good she is about wearing a mask. You and Aaron are amazing parents ! Here’s hoping this helps with her speech 🥂🥂!

A tip for swim lessons! (I’m a lifeguard) teach her about blowing bubble in the water and the recovery position in case they every fall in

i am SO happy aurora’s surgery went well and that she’s already starting to talk more and more clearly!! you can really hear the difference :))

Lord please surround Aurora with guardian Angel's, guide the Dr's hands, and let her heal quickly and completely..in Jesus name.Amen🙏

I can't deny the fact that I'm a judgemental person but after watching Crystal and Aaron makes me wanna put more effort to improve myself! Kudos ❤️

HER SPEECH IS SO INCREDIBLE ALREADY! So happy for her! I couldn't speak when I was younger either, and It was so frustrating no being able to communicate! She must feel so relieved!

So happy she's going to get this done. So happy her Dr. discovered the problem. Oh how things are going to change now that she will be able to express herself. God be with her through this❤.

Can’t wait to see how her speech developes! Good luck, Aurora!

I'm so glad both Jamie and Aurora's procedures went smoothly! Praying for a swift recovery for both. I cannot believe how much clearer Aurora's speech was already! How exciting!

Aurora’s face when the words came out of her mouth!! I’m so happy for her ❤️

No stinking way! Aurora!!! I want to cry. I cant wait for Jamie to hear her too!

For anyone wondering she has been going to speech therapy for quite some time now. She hasn’t been going for a bit because they’re moving and they’re going to put her back into speech therapy once they’re moved into the new house. I’ve been seeing comments telling them to put her in speech therapy when she is already in it, I just wanted to let everyone know that didn’t know that already.

I am so glad everything went well with both Aurora and Jaime!! I cannot wait to see the improvement with Aurora’s speech! What a blessing the new dentist was!!!

Hello from the UK. Have been waiting for a update on Aurora and watching your video made me smile so much on how well her speech is already. From one special needs mum to another you are doing fantastic. xx

Im so happy Aurora and Jamie are doing so good. That Aurora already seems to be talking better already. I hope her pain gets better each day. That she cooperates with you and the massages.

The pool is a great place to practice words, address, etc. I would have my girls yell our address as they were jumping off the side of the pool. Play games to name everything around her. What a beautiful blessing and answer to prayer!

I burst into tears when I heard Aurora talking post surgery 😭. I have so much faith that she will get to communicate with you and Aaron in the near future and with Scarlett too ❤

Hello Crazy Pieces! I am a speech and language therapist from a country called Turkey. I suggest you to take Aurora to a speech and language therapist again. Then she can move her tongue by learning the places that her tongue has to be touched in the mouth.

I've been praying for both Jamie and Aurora, and I can't get over Auroras speech already, onwards and upwards for this little superstar 🥰

Literally cried when she was speaking.

Omg that’s sooo amazing!!! So much improvement with her talking in such a short amount of time!!! That is sooo amazing!!!! This had me crying because I’m so happy for you all.

Aurora looks like Crystal's biological daughter I love it

When crystal was instructing Aurora to say certain words I literally wanted to cry, I am so proud of her

I hope Aurora is able to talk soon. She's so cute! I love her unicorn shirt. In high school, I had a speech therapist to help with my speech and reading.

I praying that Aurora and Jaime have a speedy & pain free recovery.

Sending love! Hope she feels better soon and has a fast recovery! Sending so much love love y’all!

She’ll be talking up a storm one day! Can’t wait for the vlog that says “Aurora’s Thirteenth Birthday!”

Sweetest little Aurora, hasn’t eaten and is running to give every last person a hug before she goes off to surgery. 🥺

I am so excited for her. I cant wait for her to talk and sound out words like she did in this video. She improvood so fast in not even a day like hours. I love that no matter how much pain she is in, she always has a smile on her face. My prayers go to her, that she dosent have to suffer from pain anymore and that she can communicate with her siblings, parents, cousins, aunts, and grandma.

I haven’t finished the video yet but I just wanna say I’ll be keeping aurora in my prayers for a quick recovery❤️

I love how Aurora was sliding down the stairs on her stomach while Crystal and Aaron were talking 😂😂😂

I hope she feels better! I just appreciate how she is so busy in the end of the video...(crawling in stairs lol ) being her normal 4 years old even after going through the painful surgery! May God protect her and all your kids!

I cheered out loud and got teary eyed hearing her talk. It really is a big improvement already. Wow!

Hope Aurora gets well soon Many prayers coming her way Love you all❤

Aww Aurora! So thankful that the dentist noticed and suggested the surgeries. I know it's frustrating that it wasn't figured out when she was younger. But this is still great! Sending love and hugs to all of you! ❤️

The sweetest part of all If that was the tear in her Daddy’s eyes that he had to cause his baby even a moment of discomfort even though it was for her good. Such a sweet Daddy.

& you & shellys upload schedule IS GENIUS!!! Melinda needs to hop on the boat, Everytime I watch one of your videos I always check for hers since the kids are inconsistent & ya never know if you'll get a video or not 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ Genius though I'll tell ya, y'all are smart! Pushing traffic through the family to create generational wealth 🤑

I’m so glad it went so well!! She’s doing so good with talking already🥰🥰🥰

So glad surgery went well. Can't wait to start hearing Aurora boss everyone around now.

So happy to hear her surgery went well. Her speech has already improved. I am so Happy for her. 🥰 She is amazing and so resilient!

I LOVE seeing Aurora's reaction when she says words well! Her face just lights up!

So happy for her. She is sounding so clear. And so happy Jaime is doing well too.

I can’t imagine how hard it must be to have to wait till your child gets out of surgery, it was even hard for me to watch.... I’m the one in my family who needs the surgery’s and for me it is a traumatic experience everytime so I’m happy aurora wasn’t too scared😊 🍀

As a parent this pulled ALL my heart strings! I cried like a baby hearing aurora talk! Shes gotten so big and looks so much like Jaime and is going to explode with this surgery out of the way! So excited to witness it!

This video brought me back to my childhood. I remember going under anesthesia several times up until age 7. I have a rare medical condition that has made my neck, chin/face swell and tongue. It has affected my speech a lot and had to practice many sounds from 4 to 10. I still struggle some with speech as my tongue is larger and less mobile but seeing her improve reminds me of myself. I wish my parents rewarded my effort instead of only criticizing my speech. Also things will improve I had several surgeries and parental scares when I was younger but my last one was when I was 7 I am 18 now going through hard things allows you to see each milestone and fosters gratitude much needed in stressful times. ❤️ your family!

Seeing Auroras improvement right away I cried. She’s such a tough little girl I believe in her

Aurora speaking more is so exciting!

Aurora is a beautiful little girl! I think if the whole family continues work with her saying words she will blossom even more! She will love all the extra attention & bonding time with everyone 💜

Such a beautiful and strong and resilient little girl, Crystal I think your children inherited their strength and resilience from you and Aaron, I loove how you talk openly about tough times with the kids it's so important for their big feelings to be validated! Just loove you all! 🙏💜

Im so happy for Aurora!! She speaks SO much better! Also, I noticed that the coconut oil you got was liquid...im not sure that’s the right one. It is usually cold pressed coconut oil, so its 100% coconut oil, no fragrance or other ingredients to be sure it is edible.

Aww, Aurora is so brave. Good job little miss ♥️

Oh that sweet little voice now!! I started crying with each new word! I am so happy that it all went so well! Thinking of Jaimie today also! Love all the Crazy’s!

I love hearing how much her talking improved just the first day!!!! she sounds so good!!!! I CRIED just hearing her say certain words!!!

14:26 Aurora going downstairs gave me 10 years more of life

Clicked so fast, love you guys hope Aurora is doing ok just watching love from wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 uk 🇬🇧 xxxx

Wow! Aurora is a rockstar!!! She was so patient and now listen to her. Keep talking princess ♥️

Aurora prayers you start to feel better 'my niece had that same surgery and it helped her with her speech. Sending positive uplifting vibes your way sweet girl ' prayers for a fast recovery. Back to show love and support from Washington

I am happy for Aurora ♥️, but as a doctor I am disappointed that no pediatrician discovered it earlier in any of the check ups 😐💔

You got this baby!

She’s already speaking so plainly! God bless her!

I hear ya. My daughter is two and injured her lip this week. They had to do put stitches in her lip to fix it. It was so hard seeing her cry when the doctors and nurses were taking care of her injury. Seeing our babies cry is so hard as parents. Prayer uplifted for smooth healing for Aurora!

" the barbies cant believe it either"😂😂

So excited to see if this helps with her speech!

Really hope the surgery works, Aurora is so sweet. As parenting goes you two deserve a standing ovation 👏👏👏👏

So glad she has you guys and the health care & resources needed to help her thrive & succeed.

Aurora looks like she came out of a horror movie when she crawl down the stairs lmao 😭😂 Glad her surgery is successful ❤ Speech therapy will be a great help too!

Hoping aurora can talk soon. Also hoping for a great recovery

AWWWW BLESS HER BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SOUL, SHE DID SO WELL!! GOOD JOB AURORA ❤️❤️ IM PRAYING YOU SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY SOON BABY!! 🙏

Aurora's speech has already improved so much in the last year that I can't wait to see how much she improves after her surgery!! 💕💕

It's crazy to be that the doctors never addressed the tongue tie before. I know a LOT of babies that have had the procedure, some when they probably didn't need it ;).

I find Aurora has matured so much recently. :)

Shelly gives good hugs. I felt that. I hope this surgery helps this little sweetie talk. No food before surgery is the pits. I would be tantruming myself if it wasn't a super early appointment.

I cried when she tried to talk words!! SO GOOD princess!!

Praying she does good!!!

My daughter was tongue tied when she was born. They just clipped in the dr office. That was 36 years ago. Auroral going to amaze you when she talks more. So glad did good

This is the first time I have been able to understand. This is so awesome. I’m excited to see what happens with her speech. Thanks for sharing with us. Your hole family is so amazing.

I remember that feeling of being hungry and tired and nervous all in one... I hope everything went amazing and that she will get a toy or something she really wants as a reward afterwards (that was one of the things that helped me through pain and other things before, during and after operations as a child, and I had MANY.)

As a special education administrator for over 30 years, Aurora still will need major speech therapy to teach her how to say words correctly and retrain her brain.

Hope everything went well during and after surgery

I love her so much she’s the cutest little thing!! How she hugged her dad in the car ❤❤❤😊

I’m so glad she’s doing well. So amazing how well her speech is already. When you were both talking on the sofa I had such a big smile on my face watching Aurora playing around on the stairs. She’s like a ray of sunshine ☀️

Crystal and Aaron: talk seriously Aurora: time to unleash my inner dog

Her speech has improved so much this past year, I hope this helps as much as it helped my nephew. My nephew Stuttered for a year

So glad it went well! My youngest had a lip and tongue tie revised at 2 weeks old. We traveled out of state to see Dr. Kotlow in Albany, NY because he's the best of the best (and we aren't too far) and it was an immediate improvement with nursing. The massages were TERRIBLE. I hope that Aurora continues to do well with them. They're not comfortable. I can't wait to hear everything that's on her mind!

I think saying in front of Aurora how nervous you were didn’t help her be less nervous
