Ana's sideways glances are so cute. She analyzes things and Guinevere just dives in. As I watch I can almost see how Ana will be as an adult. Fascinating!

I love seeing their gifts growing.......Guin is so verbal/auditory and Ana is so Kinesthetic and focused......so fascinating!!!!

Dippy eggs are great. Watching Ana “paint” her toast is too cute & Gwen just wants to eat her soldiers 😅 Love it

Im a grandma no family now these lovely children brighten my day and mom too!

How adorable and I love the little soldier. I love how you explain to them then let them decide howv to eat their food. Overbearing mothers make meals miserable and your patience and giving them freedom over their food opens them to myriad possibilities.

Very British - egg cups and strips on toast to dip. How cute

What fun Mama is! And so creative! I think my fav line is when Mama suggests something and one of the girls gives her an adamant “No”…and Mama says “oh ok”. Sometimes that is the only response for a little independent 2 year old 🩷💜

have recently started watching yall, have Lupus and hashimoto ,so in pain and bedridden alot, ty for the joy and smiles you give me . Your an amazing ,uplifting inspiring family xoxo

Ana the artist! She creates with everything! Gwen wanted to hug the baby soldier! So sweet❤❤

Anastasia’s focus time is phenomenal!! Unbelievably intent!!😮. These precious girls! My heart aches to scoop them up to hold tight!

I love watching these little ladies grow up. They both have very strong personalities and they’re sweet as they can be.

What a fantastic idea & making breakfast fun!! Love how Anna was dipping her spoon in the yolk & then drizzling it on her "soldiers"!!

Good Morning Barton Family! I have never seen the soldier egg cups before and I think they are adorable! I love the way Ana "prepares" her food prior to eating while Guin jumps right in. Two little beauties with their own minds and ways of doing things. I just love watching them experience new things. It's also such a pleasure to hear the intermittent Twin Talk. I never get tired of it! Have a wonderful time at the playground with Nana and Pop-Pop and to go on the swings!🥰

I love these girls I watch them everyday. I am handicapped and they brighten my day.

The soldier eggs in the cups are so cute! Ana's concentrated artistic ability, definitely showing here!

Gwen does great. Love her expressions ❤😊

I still love soldier eggs and I’m close to80! Mum used to leave them in the bottom part of the shell and once we’d finished she’d turn it upside down and draw a face on it and sing Humpty Dumpty!

Soldier eggs! I've never heard of that before!

I grew up in England and eggs with soldiers was a teatime favourite. My kids loved it too!

I just recently discovered your channel and I think y’all are such a sweet family! Your girls are adorable and you are a wonderful mama! 💕🌸 It’s fun to see them try new foods! My kids are young adults now and this is my daily dose of baby cuteness! I love having grown up kids but I miss those baby days!

Concentration is Anna’s forte for sure! Not sure what it will take to get them to actually taste the egg on the toast, but the process is fun!

So that's actually English style eggs. I grew up in the 50s in England for my first 6 years and this is how we ate our eggs back then. Not sure how the term Soldier Eggs evolved, but I assume someone renamed the toast fingers along the way and made the "soldier" egg cups which are cute!😅 I still have my porcelain egg cups! The girls sure are enjoying the process, if not the entire eating of the egg. Guin's and Ana's excitement about going on the swings is so sweet❤😂 Mama is such a great mom!!

You are so sweet to your twins. I love watching them…makes my day. They bring joy to my day. You do so many cool things with them! I luv listening to you also. I laugh with you!😬 They are so precious. 🙏

Soldier eggs so very interesting. Ana is trying to figure it out. Guin simply puts the hat back on🤣 These girls are so intelligent and get more adorable each day. 🥰 Ana is very busy scooping. Alicia and Walt are such amazing parents as they allow Guin and Ana to navigate the world. Have a nice day. Love and blessings❤️🙏🌺❤️

They both have good fine motor skills for such a young age.

I am British and Irish and grew up in England eating eggs and soldiers, we loved them! But I believe I was about three at the time. I introduced my own children to them about that age and showed them how to eat them. They loved the technique and took right to them and would ask for them often! Try it later on, I bet it will work much better! My four kids carried it on, so cute to see and now the great grandchildren too! 14:05 14:05

Financial stability seriously is important. To be able to have time. If you’ve got to rush to work etc you just don’t have time to sit in this manner with patience, to teach etc. it’s so important for the growth, independence and confidence of a child it’s really amazing to watch, I don’t know anyone who has time to do this but I can see how important it is

We always call them egg and soldiers in the UK. My dad god bless he’s passed away now but he told the same joke for years to me then his grandchildren. What’s the difference between a soldier and a sailor? You can’t dip a sailor in your egg. So thank you for the lovely video and memory of my dad.

I am impressed with the concepts they understand! On/ off, in/out, etc.

I love watching Ana and Guin before work 😊🥰 Today is so cute with the soldier eggs , the twins get right into their imaginations and have fun with the adorable soldier egg cups 😊🥰 Guin sort of likes egg yolk 🙂

❤ Alicia you’re so clever!!! Anna had fun painting her toast ! Love these two !!❤

As a wee little girl, my Father and I would have breakfast dates eating this exact breakfast then he'd read me my favorite story book and put me back to bed before going off to work in the wee hours of the morning. ❤ I treasure those memories. Once upon a time I was grateful to experience the same special moments with my oldest children when they were wee little.. Now they are all preteens and teenager's.. it goes by so fast!! Your girls are the sweetest!!

Wow! I'm a few weeks behind on videos and I can't get over how much the girls have changed. Not only their appearance but their vocabulary since the last video I watched has evolved at rapid speed. So smart. So cute. I've missed these little dollies. ❤

What cute egg cups for the girls to use to enjoy their soldier eggs! I had never even heard of soldier eggs before a viewer had mentioned them in a past video post. I was so mesmerized by watching Anastasia spoon egg yolk onto her toast "soldiers" that, when I glanced back at Guinevere, I was totally surprised at how quickly her "soldiers" had disappeared - LOL! I hope the girls had fun swinging on the swings at the playground with Nana and Pop-Pop. How surprising to hear that Anastasia is the little daredevil in the family loving to swing big while Guinevere enjoys a littler swing. The weather has been so beautiful this week, and I'm sure everyone is enjoying the balmy springtime temps. Have fun!!! 💜💗🥰😘🌸💮🏵🌺🌼

I can’t see my two grandchildren thru marriage, (mom blocked me)😢 this is a great alternative. Thank you for sharing your girls with us.

Thank you for sharing your adorable children with us.😂

Oh this brings back memories After WW2 early 1950s British children were brought up on soldier eggs for breakfast or for tea including me. Even now my grandchildren love soldier eggs dipping in is an eternal delight.. WE kept our own hens so were very popular on our street because rationing went on until 1956. Enjoy your soldier eggs girls.

When Ana says "Bacon!" at 8:35. The sly smile is to die for

The Soldier eggs were a great idea. But I'm afraid they looked too much like a toy. Guinevere dipped her first piece of toast " great dip" but didn't eat it. Ana dipped and covered her toast. I loved the interaction between the two girls as they were trying something they weren't sure of. 🥰 When momma mentioned swinging they grew so excited. Especially Guinevere. Her little "not too much" was precious. Enjoy your day with Nana and Pop Pops!! 💞💞💞💞💞💞

Well, the toast was a hit. Guin seemed the hungry one today. Cute little cups.

Best mommy ever. Stay blessed always 🙏❤️

Ana doesnt seem to be too hungry. She just wants to play.

Bless their wee hearts. At my senior age you brought back my little soldier memories!

Hi Alicia, Checking in from the U.K. Good to see the girls enjoying toast soldiers with boiled eggs. It's a breakfast favourite here in Yorkshire.

😂😂😂😂 anastasia hoy ha sido pintora d pan con huevo q graciosa y Guini probando y hablando son un encanto 😊❤

Ana's plate looks like an Art Installation!!!

What a treat! I've never seen those egg cups before, but I remember my mom making soft boiled eggs for me. Love the toast strips for dipping. Great idea!

Great job scooping. Ana with a spoon and Gwen with her toast!!❤️❤️

I have been sure Ana had a future as an Artist, but now I am thinking perhaps a doctor or engineer. Her precision in dipping into the egg with her spoon and painting the toast, and then holding the spoon more firmly as she dug deeper into the egg. Ana knew to hold the egg on the side as she scooped even deeper. Her focus and concentration always has me amazed as she completes her decided project.

"Gby,gby,by there both mine"...Lol Anastasia.

Anastasia's artistic, creative side is becoming stronger, following in Mama's footsteps. She takes things slow and steady to achieve her desired results. Her toast painting is a masterpiece. I was intrigued watching her carefully scraping yolk off the inside of her egg. Quite unusual for 2 year old children who usually want things done "now" lol . I have noticed both girls wait patiently while Mama is preparing the food for them. And I did laugh out loud when Astasia attempted to return Guinevere's spoon to her. Guin was so adamant , No, a gift once given, stays given lol And when she says I Love It , it's just delightful. Alicia, you are an excellent Mom and teacher. Your girls are going to grow up to be curious about things and you and Walt are gently educating them about life with such patience. You realize the importance of having fun in a childs' development. All children should be so fortunate 🥰

Ana is using a spoon to dip the egg and then spread it on her toast, but not eating much. Guin not real impressed with the eggs but found she kinda likes them. Swinging is my favorite playground attraction. I'm 67 and I still swing when I find one. Good job, mom!

Anna was concentrating more on the process of scooping and spreading then eating this morning. I've noticed she's a doer and quickly picks up actions like when she saw her dad turn Guin's Easter Egg "machine", she immediately did it with her own machine. Guin seems to have an active imagination by animating inanimate objects. She love to hug things and also refers to anything small as babies. It's fascinating to watch to watch them blossom in different directions.

I can't say I ever heard of soldier eggs. But I love soft boiled about medium done. These girls are so awesome!

Bless them. I love a dippy egg and soldiers!! 😘🇬🇧

I just love watching your girls Alecia!! Makes my heart smile until I see my sweet girls in Maine this summer!!

Alicia, their little personalities are to die for to watch! They’re sooo intelligent at such an early age! I just love watching them and observing them as they grow older and developing! Thanks for sharing!!!❤

Keep trying them from time to time. I believe they will eventually enjoy soft boiled eggs as they are so yummy. I loved them as a child and still do today. My children called them egg in a cup as that is how their sitter served them. I love your creative talent in the kitchen. Your patience with the girls and new serving ideas are quite unique and certainly a learning guide for other toddler parents.

Anastasia is painting her soldier toast with the yolk. Good job kiddo.

I grew up having this breakfast, I just never heard it called “soldier eggs”. We didn’t have fun soldier holders, just boring white eggcups 😂 The children are adorable! Good job Mom! You are so patient, gentle and kind. I’m sure Anna and Guin are having and will have the happiest childhood.

Good morning sweet girls and Beano and of course mommy. I have never seen these eggs before. It looks like never ending yolk. The girls seem to be in their own world. Have a blessed day everyone till tomorrow hugs Betty 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰☀️☀️🌞🌞💕

Timestamp #6:57 Ana’s look of pure joy after scooping the last of her paint….er, I mean egg, is adorable 🫶🏻

Lifted my soul as always ❤... I'm intrigued as to what was the matter with Guinevere's foot 🤭 - just at the end of the video 😘

I’ve never heard of soldier eggs! Dippy eggs are great. They are learning new things ha every day! My dippy eggs have always been fried. I learned something new today too!

Ana is a very creative little girl.

Mama, you are so patient

Oh my goodness! How cute ! I have never seen those little soldier egg holders before . I will have to look for them for my grand kids. Thank you Alicia ❤ Liz B. (From Corning NY)

What great egg cups! Just right for the two cute ladies. Anastasia examined her egg very carefully and took it apart, but she was probably not very hungry. 💜 Guinevere was a little livelier again today and I had to laugh so hard at the end when she was so excited about “my foot!”. 🩷 I wish the whole Barton family a lot of fun on the playground and “good swing” for Anastasia and Guinevere! 🛝🚸💕🌼🙋‍♀

We always had boiled eggs and soldiers growing up, so did my children. I still have eggs & soldiers when I'm feeling sick

My Irish Dad ate 2 soft boiled eggs every morning with toast.

i LOVE THEWAY ANNA ALWAYS HAS THIS NON-COMMITTAL EXPRESSION THAT YOU DONT WANT TO PUSH...SO FUNNY

Hello dear Barton family ! Those eggs looks delicious 🥚🥚...yummy yummy... but Guinevere ate only the toast 🧇 and Anastasia put the egg with the spoon on her toast 🤭 ...Guinevere hugging her spoon 🥄🥰 ...sooo cute 🥰 ... thank you so much for sharing this fantastic video dear Alicia 🤗...bye my favorite family...see you tomorrow row row 💖💖🥰🥰😘😘🤗🤗

I just love these little gals so much. Soldier egg looks yummy. I love to dip my toast in the yellow of my egg. My Daddy taught me that. Y'all have a blessed evening. ❤❤❤❤

Ana: Good morning egg! So cute! Loved the excitement at swinging. Have a great day at the park! 😊❤

Oh dippy eggs and soldiers❤, I was watching and thinking don't let me down girls you have to like these😂

I think that is the cutest thing ever! How do you find such interesting things to make meal time more fun? How creative ❤ You are an awesome Mother😊 The twins are so fortunate ❤

Hi Alicia, So adorable with the Soldier Egg cup. Have a great afternoon and lots of fun at the playground.🎉🎉🎉🎉

I still love dippy eggs, when we were small my mum taught us to play a trick on daddy, we ate all the egg then turned it upside down and placed it back in the egg cup. Daddy would be excited to eat his egg, he'd tap on the egg to find it empty inside, he'd say " Oh no, you've tricked me " We thought it was hilarious. Guess Mummy played a trick on us all. 😊. My daughter and neice loved playing the trick on their Grandad.

This was an interesting experiment! So impressed with how you let the girls explore and then essentially reject the soft boiled eggs. Many would say inwardly EAT the darn eggs please 🤣🤣🤣 which would ultimately defeat the WHOLE object of the exercise - which is, introduce the new food /concept and let them explore. Nailed it mummy! 🤩💗

The BEST part about soft boiled eggs is dipping your toast in the yolk! Is Guin favoring right hand, and Anna her left? These girls are getting so big and more precious. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻❤️❤️❤️🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Good morning Ana and Guin! Those egg holders are so cute. Ana, good job scooping out the yolk of your egg with your spoon and putting it on your toast.

I'm with the girls. Runny eggs 😖

"Good morning, egg!" 😊

Thanks for the sugar explanation previously. I enjoy these videos. It hits home.

In Holland young children and also old people often eat a soft boiled egg , as we call this. We love it

Ana has patience that goes on forever….

They are a joy to watch!! Great job mom!

Good morning girls😊 Those eggs look so yummy😮

We always called it sof boiled or dippy eggs. But love the soldier cups.

My mom made me soft boiled eggs all the time when I was little. Those cups are adorable!

Yes it's a common breakfast in uk we call them dippy eggs and soldiers lovely Gwen loved all took bit longer for Ana today but great to see them both trying and there talking is coming along fab . By the summer they will be talking your head off 😅😅😅😅😅 ahhhhhh 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I've never heard of soldier eggs or seen anything like it but what a neat idea..❤😊

Love the birds.

Yay, dippy eggs with soldiers is yummy!!! Love the egg cups. So cute.

I haven’t heard of soldier eggs but the little holder, hat, and spoon are so cute. The girls seemed to like the little egg holder too. Anastasia looks like she’s conducting an experiment.😂😂😂

My boyfriend is in the military and deployed that is so cute❤

There are so many Beautiful twins online now. I think there are sweet and kind ones 😊

I have never seen these before. My grandson would have loved it. However I can understand the girls' reluctantly because it is so very different. Given time, the girls will love the egg soldiers. Great idea Alicia! ❤😂❤

Wonderful! One of my very favorite ways to eat eggs…and I used to have those exact egg cups. I love dippy eggs. For myself I like to use an iced tea spoon to wrestle the rest of the egg out of the shell.

What clever little girls they are ❤❤
