I’m a nanny/psychologist of a neurotypical boy who is borderline adhd. His mental age is about 5 but he is 7. There is a lot of pressure on children to mature but children really need to mature at their own pace. He is a smart little boy (can read and write) and I do hold him responsible for 7yr old tasks, but I don’t frustrate him with his responsibilities. Mikko (in my opinion) is acting like a typical 3yr old ex. Crocodile tears when frustrated, being cheeky when mom is trying to be serious, and trying to get out of a task. You’re an amazing mom and you’re doing GREAT. Mikko wouldn’t have reached her gains without your patience with her. Internet people might disagree but their opinions are from a place of ignorance.

I am a retired ASL Interpreter, for 3 years i worked with the "Profoundly Delayed" at a Residential School for the Deaf Mikko is really far more Vocal than verbal, but if you listen/watch her motions she IS "talking" but in her own way. She is also using a lot of gestures, some are very subtle. Keep doing what you are doing, she is learning, her brain is maturing, the sounds are slowly becoming words.

With a Mother like you that little girl cannot go wrong!!! You are amazing!!!

I do not see you as treating Mikko like a baby. I see you treating her with patience and love. It is clear that you have researched and studied the care that Mikko needs. God bless every effort.

She's smarter than you think. She definitely knows how to push the boundaries. 😆

I love your content. I have a 3 yr old non- verbal autistic great-grandson. My grandson has had one-on-one therapist come to the house which was great! Now my Aseer, is 2 weeks into pre-k out side of home. He has since adapted to circle time, reading and small math sessions. I believe Mikko will greatly benefit from going to school and having ABA therapy come to the school to work with her one-on-one. In these past 2 weeks Aseer has started to say words. He told me "bye-bye" when we ended our daily phone call. I cried.😊. Something to consider,best of luck and love! Gentle hugs🤗

Mom you look tired, we pray for endurance, the strength to do so and inner peace. I've learned not to pray for patience because of the things that you have to endure to learn that lesson. Love the both of you ❤

Keep doing what you’re doing, love. My daughter is 3 and is autistic. When she was around 2 I started watching really closely and realized she was not just a “little behind” but that there was something very different going on with her. As it became clearer and clearer, I became very sad. Very sad. And for so long. I was ashamed of being sad, but I was, and it was hard to mask every second of every day. And then God stepped in and reminded me that it’s all going to be okay. It doesn’t matter how fast or how slow Isabella learns or does what other children are doing. It doesn’t matter what my family thinks, much less strangers in the store. What matters is that my baby girl is HAPPY and so loving. She is so loving! She is ‘given to God’, so I have nothing to ever worry about. I know what you’re going through isn’t easy. Just remember that you’re not alone. And when it all gets to be just too much, give it to God and just enjoy being with her on her terms. ❤

I think she would love going to school for two or three hours a few days a week, would help you and her❤

I'm a professor with a PhD in Education. Is Mikko in school? Does she have opportunities to socialize with other children? You're an amazing mom!

My son's developmental age is around 15 months. He's 6. And he shows no signs of understanding or capability of doing tasks/following directions like she does. She knows what she's doing (from what I can see in the video, of course you know her better than any of us).

Have you contacted your local school district for special education testing and to start the process for her to get an IEP? In Texas, 4 year olds in special education get a free, full day of preschool with direct and related services (music therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, etc) if they are qualify. In our district we have a year-round Early Intervention Academy at our local elementary school. My autistic, 4 year old, language delayed daughter is completing her first year in the PreK3 class (she turned 4 in Jan) and we have seen tremendous gains. I pray opportunities for additional therapies come quickly for Mikko. I know waitlists and openings are long, especially dependent upon the area in which you live. Sometimes there just aren’t enough service providers, but the school district is a good option for early interventions while you wait or in addition to private services she is already receiving.

Your baby looks to be doing well. You can tell that she is loved and that she is learning. I see what you mean by the difference in neurological age. I have an 11 month old grand and i heard Mikko making the same sounds that she makes when i feel she is trying to talk but unable to yet. But Mikko shows us that she's 3 going on 4 with her words and bring able to do some things for herself that you and your husband have taught her. High 5's all around!🖐🏽💙

I genuinely believe she understands more than what you give her credit for . I thought the same thing about my three year old but he knows exactly what I’m saying and will follow directions when he knows I’m serious without asking him twice . I mean she knows once she starts whining and crying you don’t make her do anything!! She’s laughing because she’s able to get away with it. AUTISM is no reason to let her get her way because in the real world it’s not gonna work like that

You are doing FANTASTIC, Mom! I work w adults w developmental disabilities. Though my clients are often between 40-60; they more accurately act around grade 1-5 levels. Some need less support than others, but even so, it is necessary to hold them accountable as adults. Your patience is absolutely admirable. I truly admire the way you teach and communicate w Mikko. You have both done a fantastic job w her. She is learning and growing and it is incredible. I see a lot of comments noting how she is purposefully being cheeky w you here. And yes, it does happen. But, you are doing an excellent job. I have clients in their 50's who cannot even put on their own socks coz their motor skills were never challenged and they were enabled into adulthood. I appreciate you working w Mikko on her skills. How to grow her independence. It can be frustrating but you are doing what you can, and your little girl is blessed to have you♡

Precious, thank you for creating this channel and welcoming us in your world. Please understand that we make observations based on what you share. In this video it seems to be so much going on and no structure which children with autism need.My observations: Mikko is getting over on you. When she wants you to help her or when she doesn't want to do something, she reaching out to be held because this is what you've done in other videos. You were doing sign language, but she seems to ignore you so you move on to something else. You asked her to shake the Tamborine and she shook something else. There should be one item out so that she doesn't get overwhelmed and focus on something else. You are doing a great job with the resources you have and we can't wait to see Mikko thrive with the professional help you are getting her!❤

Sometimes you do and will need professionals to help and I pray this is sooner than later for all of you!! It should really help all of you.. If you wait too late as years go on, she can become more set in her ways because she is older.. I know its not easy at all and you do a phenomenal job but more professionals helping, she might just conquer some of the things in learning with professionals in different ways than she does with you. Wishing you all much success with her learning and growth.. Its hard, its tough i know and I know you do things your way too ❤❤

…i can see and feel the frustration and the patience and the love that you show in trying to nurture and guide your daughter through these difficult and challenging learning skills…but i would like to say from a mother that has and is raising an adult child with autism…please keep up the great work…your labor is not in vain and i know that you shall see the fruit of your labor and reward of your long suffering and patience…and also thank you for keeping it real and natural and not sugar coating the reality of your situation…be encouraged things will get better…you guys are wonderful parents…! …🤗♥️🌹

Mikko know more than what we think she know,she really be playing in her mova face for real,just like a child thats not in her position do sometimes,Mikko is very smart❤️and when things dont go her way she act out,she just be being a typical child ❤️

I don't want to say the wrong thing but I think she can do anything she wants to do.

I'm raising my autistic grandson Ryder and I acknowledge this disability but I also recognize when he's just being a brat...I call it bratism. I see Mikko and her bratism clearly in this video. God bless you for your patience and keeping things calm and quiet but honey she's pushing your buttons on purpose. My grandson laughs in my face when he knows he's doing wrong. I don't have the answers believe me but I had to mention the similarities! We love you Mikko and mommy ❤ God be with our special needs children and families

From my understanding of the comments they come from a place of love Precious and people critiquing ur struggles hurts but just remember there’s advice from the those who just want to help that care about ur family and have experienced similar before pls look after yourself ❤

So much of her behavior is typical toddler behavior. I have a 3yr old with autism and a lot of times I have to take a step back and I see that it’s not my son’s autism sometimes but the fact that he’s 3 so he’s testing me. I have heard from many parents of older autistic children that these toddler years are tough and once they get in school and have a couple of years of therapy they see a huge difference.

I admire your patience and dedication as a mother. With the state of the world right now wouldn’t it be best to maybe have a professional step in for help? If something happens to you who will take care of Babygirl? To the level or higher that you do? We are in dark times and as black women our health is never prioritized. As a mother/wife myself it’s a convo I’ve been having since I do have minor children including one with a terminal disease. She would be lost without you

My son just got a ABA in the home and he's homeschooled. I'm definitely seeing the benefits of the therapy and hoping he continues to progress. He's verbal and in mainstream classes but has a IEP that allows extra time to complete assignments and have frequent breaks

You are doing an awesome excellent job, please do not let anyone tell you how you are to raise your special beautiful daughter. God placed this child in your care for a reason and you are doing a GREAT job

You are doing an excellent job. You are inspiring, loving, so patient. I love how you are with your daughter.😊❤

You're doing a great job of meeting her where she's at. Your explanations were good too. Another thing that some people may not understand is splinter skills. That's where a person excels in some areas but struggles in others. My daughter has fairly good expressive language but huge struggles with processing what is said to her. This has led to people thinking she's not complying when in reality she's not understanding. It also leads to people sometimes thinking I'm talking down to her when I'm really just putting things in terms she'll understand. It's complicated.

My son is on the spectrum. Through therapy I’ve learned to not tell him no if he still hasn’t gotten something right. They feed off of praise, the looking at you as she’s doing something is her wanting continuous praise even if it isn’t exactly what you wanted to be done. It’s still progress sending blessings to you. It will get better

I think Mikko is really use to you doing everything and getting her way with you. Don’t get me wrong i think you are doing a phenomenal job but I also think she is growing away from you till the point she need a professional to get her on track with you. She seems very smart but she also learning how to get away with things with you and that’s not good all the . Don’t be a mother that makes a lot of excuses for her she need someone to help push her. Like at the park take her every day if you can don’t just say she’s not ready. Like throwing the sock get it and tell her that’s not except able and let her know this is what we are going to do. Gentle is good but reenforcing over and over is what she needs. Mikko crying and screaming she know that’s away to get her way because mom is going to give in. You are a terrific mom but firmness will benefit Mikko and that doesn’t mean whopping.

Your doing a great job mommy! Nobody knows your child better than you. It’s really easy for people to sit back and judge as if they know what is best for her. Please let us all lift this beautiful family up. ❤

Blessings to you always. I sometimes feel Mikko is a genius about to blossom. And yes, totally understand about posting videos and the day to day stuff with your child. You're doing great, so it is perfect 🤗❤

I grew up with many disabilities psychological, physical and mental. It was so hard growing up because at that time, there really was no awareness or attention placed on these issues, they just put you in a school for the handicapped and it ended there. I see a little girl with development issues and impairment, but I think Mikko also has great potential. It's going to take awhile and alot of help to get Mikko to express herself and to do for herself, but I think that in years she will progress. Don't you ever be discouraged or afraid that Mikko will not reach certain simple goals, because she will. My parents and teachers had given up on me and I had to fight my way through life, so Mikko has a much greater advantage because of your loving guidance. You got this.

As a single mother, when my children were that age, I tried to balance giving each of them individual/dedicated time. With Mikko requiring so much of you both, how do you balance giving quality time to your older children? Even though both of my children have recently completed college, I'm always reevaluating if I could have done something different/better even though they have started great careers. Please know I am praying for you also.

Blessings - maybe changing your appearance for training may help...such as wearing medical smocks and a mask below your face. Changing your appearance should help her to distinguish between training and mommy. Stay prayerful!

Girl, you could literally show some of these people every little thing you do for Mikko, record every professional therapy session, take then along for your entire 24hrs & THEY WON'T BE HAPPY, THEY'LL STILL FIND A REASON TO COMPLAIN. I think you do an amazing job 👏 👏 👏

You're an amazing mamma. I completely understand how tiring and exhausting this can be. One day or I say one moment at a time. Our little girl is 4 but mentally is 2.5-3 years old so yes I have to treat her in that age bracket. People who are not in your shoes will never understand. You know your daughter best. It's easy to say oh do this or that. Get this or that. They might be coming from the right place in the heart. All I can say you guys are amazing. She's loved and cared for. You can't rush anything. Everything needs to go through the channels before getting anything. Treatment or anything else. Sending hugs. ❤️

You are an amazing mother and an amazing person. I pray for you, Mikko and the family each day.

I'm the oldest of 6 - I remember these stages. She is testing you and her mind is just bouncing around. It's OKAY I love you teaching her to sign. xoxo

You are doing such a great job with Mikko ❤ If it helps, my oldest (neurotypical) didn’t really master putting on socks independently until about 3.5. My youngest is not autistic but has a condition that can produce similar challenges, especially with processing and speech. I will pray for Mikko to keep making progress every night as I pray for my own child.

I actually think u are treating Mikko on the level she is. You are patient, loving understanding and kind. Your so encouraging as well. Im a special Education preschool teacher and i wish every parent could be like you. Love u guys. I enjoy watching ur channel. Love u Mikko. You are learning so much. Im so proud of u. ❤

You are a remarkable mom with an extraordinary little girl! Your family is wonderful!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤

You’re doing a great job with great patience. It will be great to see how she progresses with professional guidance.

My parents were so emotionally unintelligent and reactive that watching you meet her needs, control yourself and be patient with her is so drastically different from what I grew up with. I deeply appreciate how much work and effort you put in and deeply respect how you're helping your child.

I love the "noise" in the background 😍😄 actually that was very cute to hear.

Will your insurance pay for an aid to come in to help you and Mikko? It seems to me that you could use some help and maybe other ideas from someone knowledgeable. I know your husband doesn’t want outside help, but I feel that is not fair to you and Mikko. It is you and Mikko that is dealing with this the most. I think you’re doing a great job, but a little help doesn’t hurt, especially with someone experienced with Autism. I think it would be an added benefit.

You are doing a GREAT JOB!!!!! I love watching her development and growth. You are a marvelous Mom!!!! So very patient with Mikko. I'm sending you virtual hugs, love and strength.

You are a great mom and doing the best you can with what you have. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It's hard for a lot of people to be supportive because they aren't walking in your shoes. Just know you have a lot of people rooting for yoy and sending positive vibes. Make sure you find ways to keep your cup full and take care of yourself so you can keep on pouring into your family! Hugs

Mom you are doing great! Do you have the support you need as well? I also have a child on the Spectrum. He is now 14. It will get better❤. Education is our tools and love is the focus ❤

You are doing a wonderful job, continue what you are doing, in time she will be able to complete these tasks. Mikko is extremely bright and will progress in due time. Blessings!!!

You are truly an amazing woman and momma. Having a child/children with special needs or spectrum. First it's hard for a parent to accept. Once we ask parents except it, then we fight for our child and do what is the best for them. I didn't understand it at first. I blamed myself. I wish you tube was there for support when my son. IEP and teachers were there but it was patience and perseverance and God. Thank you for my son who is awesome and truly amazing. ❤

This is task avoidance. Early intervention would have been great for her. There are many programs/ agencies that offer supports with little to no out of pocket costs. Also, School. School is a great resource and it's typically free after 5.

Hi precious I have never not watched all the way through till the end. I wonder why people do not watch till the end I find that very interesting you know precious I am so in awe of how patient you are I am sure it is not all the time but just watching your nature and the way you connect to Miko is actually awe-inspiring thank you so much for always showing the full picture of autism. I told you this before but no other channel on KZfaq will show their child having a meltdown or a tantrum and therefore people don't get educated because they don't see the difficulties that a child with autism goes through and what the parents go through.

I have so much gratitude for your videos. Your videos have given me strength on raising my autistic 5-year-old you're doing an amazing job keep up the good work Lil Mama has an amazing mother❤

You are kind and patient,know one know what ,it takes unless we walk in your shoes,I believe as prayers go up, your strength,will grow she is truly a beautiful little girl.

As the matriarch of a family with several autistic and ‘diagnosed’ members, I have learned so deeply to look past the labels and search for the joyous gifts that each one of us brings to this life. Neurodivergent children and even adults have unique expressive and developmental tracks, in many ways we are such incomparable individuals. Respecting the individual path of the child/person without becoming anxious at their differences helps to develop confidence and self esteem in their relationships to themselves and the world. Searching for solutions, setting boundaries and fences by our own acceptance, encouragement and rejection of the various behaviors helps them shape themselves - and us as well. I applaud your strength in explaining yourself at the end of this video. You’re a great mom and you have a lovely daughter who is already adding so much to the world by her insouciant approach and radiant happiness when she pleases you and herself as well. 🥰 Mikko is only ‘behind’ when measured against an average developmental ‘norm’; a sad obsession of our society to pigeon hole and evaluate everything and everyone as to their place and usefulness. In reality, she is simply developing into the self of the person she will become. Because she is so unusual, you are right to seek help and evaluation - but all too often the help can come in the form of only identifying what is ‘delayed or wrong’. Your efforts are amazing and I want to assure you that you are giving her a deep and positive foundation for life. In fact, by lovingly and realistically meeting her where she is and sharing your experiences with us, both of you are making an immeasurable contribution to the world. Thank you for being you; be strong and resolute - you are both awesome.🤩

There is no substitute for early intervention services. They are becoming more accessible and are usually covered by insurance. Exposure in some kind of school or structured setting would also be beneficial at her age. Mikko clearly knows how to push mom’s buttons, test the limits, and she usually gets away with it. That likely would not be the case if she were learning with a teacher or other professional. There should be less excuses, a little less camera time, and more focus on outside intervention at this point.

You have so much patience 🩷! I think you're doing a wonderful job. I hope you're taking some time out for yourself. Beautiful family 💜

Well Precious I see it differently which I see you doing your best of how you’re teaching Mikko and you’re doing a very good job and I believe in all due time she’ll get it but right now you gotta go her pace and with her moody swings that she have when you want her to do a task but she does it and it just take Mikko a little but before people or person or persons start criticizing you on your teaching skills of teaching your daughter your way and to your knowledge they need to walk in shoes and live your life or just keep their negative comments and thoughts to themselves but kudos for you for showing and sharing your lively life with us bcuz I appreciate you and I see you’re doing your best and that’s all we can mamas

I know how Mikko feels a lot because I've been in similar situations. I think you're still doing a great job as parents, and I'm glad you're getting her professional help. I've never had professional help, but I know it will help Mikko. I can tell she's very smart, but she just doesn't always know how to express herself or handle things. She'll get there one day. And I'm glad you're helping her while sge's still young. She'll learn eventually. It just takes longer. Even I still struggle a lot with things, like using things I've never used before, and being around strangers and stuff. Also I'm amazed at how patient you are. If I was her mother, I'd lose it 😂 I don't have much patience a lot of times.

You're doing an amazing job! Your patience has been vital to her progress thus far. You have a relentless fierce love for your daughter, and it shows with each interaction. Both of you are on track to become the best version of yourselves. Thanks for giving us a front seat on your journey. Your gentle reach is teaching us all globally !❤

she is going too get it when she should on God's time so don't get discouraged and fault yourself and please tell her don't down herself she is special and everything worth knowing or having takes time... 🌞🌞🌞👑

Precious, when people express their opinions that are indifferent to your " living experiences" as Mikkos mother", I dont believe they are coming from a place of ignorance/mean spirit but genuine concern because of what is presented. Maybe you should not film her in this light because people have varied opinions. Also, it appears you're becoming defensive (we know you’re tired) in your explanations and if this is causing additional stress, maybe chill with the filming and use another platform to educate parents and others. I can empathize with you because I have family members dealing with these challenges. Hopefully, with your bountiful love and credentialed professionals, life will continue to be gentle for your family!

My grandson is autistic and he was diagnosed at the age of 4yrs old, he’s high functioning but he can sometimes be very moody and sensitive and stubborn. Watching your videos has helped me understand him much better and I thank you for sharing your family with us.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Hi, you are doing the best for your lovely daughter! Love is the greatest gift you can give your child, especially when it has special needs. Love is to pick up your child at their level and support the effort they make. I know, our son is on the spectrum, now 46, living his independent life, holds a job, speaks two languages fluently and satisfied with himself. He socializes to the degree that is comfortable to him, and he is happy, more is not needed. We parents don't want to press our children into the expectations of our environment but to chose with our assistance how to deal with the environment and still be happy. Keep building her self-esteem and her dignity. I passed your video to a mom who will benefit greatly. Subscribed today and look forward to see much more of Mikka and you.

God bless you and your family!❤

Your patience and love shows through every time

You are truly amazing!!! So much respect for you, WOW!!! Much love for you sweetheart!!❤❤❤❤

Wonderfully said! I’m so proud of how you are dealing with Mikkos autism & her delays in certain milestones. All kids learn at different rates. It just will take her longer to learn the fine & gross motor skills & to communicate with you & her family & friends! God bless you always!

You are doing an amazing job! Your video brought tears to my eyes because I have been there and I know how hard it is! I must say you are lucky because my little boy is very aggressive when frustrated from not being able to put a sock on for example. Your Mikko will end up amazing you. My little boy struggles with receptive language, also has ADHD, is non verbal and delayed by years in some areas. But just like you I always try to teach and help him and our love will get these children very far. Big hugs and respect from Birmingham, UK

I don't think you can tell when she's pushing your buttons

I really enjoy your explanation of what your are doing for her. And what you feel she is understanding. I have not had an autistic child, but have worked with some adults that are Autistic and you help me understand how they might feel. Thank you.

Do you manage to take time out for yourself. I understand this channel is for Mikko but you never post any video’s of you having a time out? I hope you do cause you deserve it.

I knew children that were in preschool that couldn't put their socks on. In kindergarten they still couldn't put their socks and shoes, coats, hats on. And they were considered normal

She knows what she's doing.Thats a very small little girl.She knows how to get over on mom.Her and most kids her age.

My mom keeps trying to remind that my son is still a baby too and not to worry too much. He’s on the spectrum, has adhd and odd. I’m worried he’s too far behind but I tend to forget he’s still a baby! He was born in the same year as Mikko. They’re still little ones. ❤

Yup fair play. Ur getting her professional help. Give her as much chances to fulfill her potential x

I have recently found your page and God knew I needed this. My youngest is very similar and it has been a struggle for me mentally dealing with everything and getting people to understand. Thank you for sharing

Its ok stay strong sis. I understand your situation I have a grandson who is also on the Spectrum and your videos are an inspiration to me and my family.

You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

I would like to know how you distinguish the difference between a her having a tantrum versus her developmental growth? It’s sad that you can have a child evaluated but not be given the resources needed to support her and you all as a family. I have a cousin who was born with severe birth defects and he is now 13 and can’t be understood when he talks and he’s never been given speech therapy. Yet he can go to the doctor for every thing else. Keep working at because she’s going to be a grown adult one day and all your family efforts should be rewarded.❤❤

There are so many people that you are helping by sharing what you are doing with Mikko. I like the fact that you are working with solutions for her on your own until the services are available in your area. Great job, Precious and Chris. ❤

You are an amazing mom. I am encouraged! Much love and respect❤

God bless you. You are a true mother. You are allowing us in your personal life space sharing your true life experience with your child/children.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤ they don't know your one on one with her when you are not posting. You are the greatest.

My son will 5 on Sunday, also autistic(development wise he's age 18 months to close to two years old). He's actually been in school for 2 years, school provides therapy and he has an IEP. Mikko knows alot more she's very smart. School and private therapy has helped us tremendously. Might be good her. My son has made hige strides because of school and private therapy and what we do at home. Or you can see about an all day aba program for her. Giving you lots of support, blessings, and positivity ❤ you're doing amazing.

Or maybe another view is that Miko likes the control she has when she reverts to an infant state. Just a thought from the outside

You are a brilliant mother god blessed Mikko with wonderful and amazing parents love watching your channel sending blessings and love and light from London England 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤

I'm wondering if you started applying to schools for her. There might be long waiting lists

As ALWAYS, Thank you for sharing ❤ I have to admit I've had a few times where my kids made me laugh when I was trying to get them to focus on the task at hand... So (I'm sorry) I was giggling when Mikko started laughing 😂 y'all are often in my prayers 🙏🏻

You be ok, your doing well, You will find the right people and places to help. Hugs

I see your doing very good with Mikko you have a lot of patience and one day she will over come and understand it just take alot of patients

You are doing a great job keep up the good work ♥️😊

My son is autistic also and I smile when I see mikko trying because I've been there. Add in that my son is also deaf and visually impaired. So I get it it's hard. The most important thing is she's happy and progressing.

You are doing a great job!!!❤

One of my children had developmental delays and auditory processing issues. I think you're doing great. ❤

Much love and respect to you mommy and daddy, keep up the great work that you are doing with Mikko. In due time ( God’s timing ), whatever is necessary for your daughter’s growth in life will definitely happen. Prayers for you all! 🙏🏾✝️✝️✝️🙏🏾 ❤❤❤❤❤

It’s wonderful to see the love and care you and your husband give Mike.

Salute to you and your family ms lady my son is the same way you half to have a extreme amount of patience and I appreciate this video so much 🫡 it show my son that he is not alone in this world

You are doing a fantastic job! She’s learning more everyday
