Cute Kids

My husband Jordan, son Jayden (8) and youngest son Jayce (5) were opening up Pokemon packs on Christmas day. Jayden got one of the best pulls and was ecstatic about it! His dad Jordan was just as excited and little brother Jayce knew exactly how rare it was to pull the card!

We decided to record the night before our daughter’s birthday and compile the videos together. It’s our birthday tradition to watch how she grows each year.

Welcoming our newest family member as a surprise to the kids. Full of all the emotions.

Since getting a helmet and pads for Christmas, Dayton had been determined to learn how to ride her bike without training wheels, practicing alongside her dad while her twin sister had already learned. Despite several falls, she stayed positive and encouraged herself the entire time. When Dayton finally realizes she’s gained control of the bike, she celebrates herself screaming YES YES I’M DOING IT with so much excitement, cheering herself on as her dad runs right beside her.

A little one hilariously “helped” clean up the kitchen. The youngster, without being asked, took it upon himself to tidy up the kitchen, but more than likely, his cleaning services will not be requested for quite some time. Watch the short, but hysterical clip to see how the young man went about cleaning the kitchen.

Most people do not enjoy performing household chores. Regardless, those cleaning activities are obligations and responsibilities that must be completed regularly. Plus, no one wants to live in a pigsty. Filth and utter chaos are no way for a human being to live, which is why those chores are necessary, despite how much we may loathe them.

Likely, you had a specific list of chores you were required to complete. Why not, right? You lived in the house, why shouldn’t you lend a hand here and there? This seems only logical. But as a child, chores were one of the worst things in the world. They were nothing more than obstacles to playing with friends and being outside.

Now, as an adult, you likely wish you could get more help completing these household cleaning tasks. If you had more hands, you would get more accomplished in a shorter time. Well, one mother's dream of more help with the chores came true, but it did not go quite as she had envisioned.

The clip shows a young man sitting on the kitchen counter, playing with the faucet. He then begins spraying water, sending it all over the floor. As the little guy is cleaning the kitchen, the youngster’s mother can be seen through the window, obviously trying but failing to get the toddler’s attention to instruct him to stop his cleaning.

Apparently, this went on for nearly 30 minutes, as the child had locked his mother outside before cleaning.

Hey, it’s the thought that counts, and not always the results? Although that may be the saying, I don’t think the little one’s mother would necessarily agree.

1 Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done in the right and ordered way.”

What this little guy told his dad will leave you in stitches. Likely, no one saw this command coming out of the young man’s mouth. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what the young man told his father that will have you doubled over with laughter.

Our words should be considered and chosen very carefully. Once they exit our mouths, there is no way to take them back. Even if those words are said in a highly emotional state, and we immediately regret having said something, there is no way to rewind time and return to a period when they were not spoken. They are out there forever.

Given the prevalence of social media in society, this is indeed timely advice. Much like how it’s impossible to take back words spoken, once we hit “publish” on that post or message, it’s out there forever. Sure, there is the delete function, but things put on the internet live forever. Additionally, people have become lightning-quick with their screenshots.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young man is about to send his father off for the day. The father sits in his truck while the little boy stands by the open driver’s door. The two tell one another how much they love each other. The father and son also share several warm, loving hugs. As a parent who wouldn’t want their child to say, “I love you” and hug them before heading off to work. That would make the day a lot better, for sure.

However, it was what the young man said right before he ended his interaction with his father that will have you laughing. He told his father to do two things for him.

“Be careful,” the little guy tells his dad. “Don’t be cussing.”

“I won’t be cussing,” the father replies.

After this hysterical exchange, the young man closes the truck’s door, with dad now ready to head off to work, hopefully with a completely clean mouth.

Ephesians 4:29 “Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.”

A little girl became the star of a comedy show in the cutest way. She obviously enjoyed her time in the spotlight, helping to put on quite the show for the audience. Watch the short but precious and hilarious clip to see what the young woman did that will leave you laughing.

Most people have attended shows that ask for audience participation, selecting someone to come up on stage and take part in various activities. Whenever that request is made, with the person on stage stating that they need a volunteer, many will enthusiastically raise their hand, hoping to be picked. Additionally, some people will do everything they can to avoid eye contact, making it wholly clear that they do not want to be selected.

Some people genuinely enjoy the spotlight and having the attention of others. They want others to watch them while they do this or that. Of course, there are also those who want nothing to do with that kind of attention. They would rather hang back and watch the show instead of being a part of it. Being front and center is not for them.

A clip posted on social media captured one young woman who truly enjoyed being in the spotlight. Not only did she have, but her funny and adorable antics completely stole the show, with everyone in the audience loudly clapping for her precious and hilarious efforts.

The video begins with the performer leading the young lady on stage. Once on stage, she helps the performer by gathering cups for him. She does this continually, but as she picks them up, he drops one from the bottom. He does this several times, and she goes with it.

However, eventually the youngster catches on to what he’s doing and quickly devises a hilarious and quick-witted solution. What she did next was unexpected. It was so funny and charming!

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

A big sister prayed for her dad and set a beautiful example for her younger sibling. The older girl was being closely watched, and her prayerful actions were soon emulated. Watch the short but precious clip to see how everyone is an influencer and a role model, even if they don’t think so.

Actions speak louder than words. That’s a saying, an adage, that everyone is almost certainly familiar with. Of course, the message and idea expressed with that popular phrase is not hard to grasp. It simply means that what we do and how we act matters greatly, making a much bigger impact than the words that exit our mouths.

Interestingly enough, individuals with large followings on social media platforms can earn a living by being paid to promote products. Commonly, these people are referred to as influencers because it’s believed that what they post will impact the actions of their followers. However, even if you don’t have any followers on social media or you avoid those platforms altogether, you are still considered an influencer, regardless. An adorable video posted on YouTube proves this to be the case.

In the short clip, a father lies in bed, not feeling well, and claims his head hurts. His daughter, wanting to know what's going on, asks him if it’s OK that they pray about his situation.

Seconds later, the little girl, with both of her hands on her father’s head, says one of the sweetest, most precious prayers you’ve ever heard. She wants her father to get better, and it’s clear she understands the power of prayer.

“Jesus, please, can you help daddy’s head feel better? Amen,” the little girl prays.

But that is not where the clip ends.

Moments after this prayer ends, the child’s younger sibling, having seen what her older sister did, also prays for her father’s headache, asking the Lord to make him feel better.

Proverbs 27:17 “Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend.”

This little girl tried so hard to get a popsicle but came up empty. She knew what she wanted, but things just didn’t go her way. Watch the short but sweet and hysterical clip to see what the child did to try to fulfill her popsicle craving.

We all have things we want in life. Even people who claim to be entirely content with what they have and state they possess no desire for anything else secretly still want this and that. It might be something minor, inexpensive and completely within their reach, but it’s still there.

That’s a part of human nature, of course. Yes, wanting something more and not being happy and fulfilled with what we already have is not a good trait or characteristic, but we all have it. While it’s not always apparent in adults, it’s much more readily visible in the actions and attitudes of children. They are constantly asking for more – for this, that and everything in between. Parents know and understand this completely.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young woman enters the room and asks her mother very sweetly for something. When that request does not go as she expected, the little girl takes another route, one in which she obviously believes may yield different and better results than her first attempt at obtaining a popsicle.

“Can I have a popsicle?” the child asks her mother.

“It’s too close to bed, baby, no,” mom responds. “No popsicles tonight.”

Well, the child, like many children do when in that position, goes to her father.

“Can I get a popsicle?” the girl asks her father.

“What did your mommy say?” Dad responds.

“She said, ‘No,’” the child answered honestly.

“Ok, well, if mommy said no, what does that mean?” he asks his daughter.

“If mommy said no, daddy said no,” he added. “Mommy and daddy will always be on the same page. You hear me?” he tells his daughter.

She tried and failed but learned that her parents will never undercut one another when it comes to their children. They will always support one another.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

This youngster’s first base confusion had everyone cracking up. The child was not sure where to go after making contact with the ball. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what happened after this little one put the ball into play.

Baseball is a simple game that Americans have played and enjoyed watching for decades. You see the ball, hit the ball, catch the ball and throw the ball. Of course, what you do and when will vary depending on the specific situation while playing, but instructions on how to play a game do not get much easier than that.

However, after hitting the ball and putting it in play, the batter will then run to first base. They will try to reach that spot before being tagged or before the ball reaches the base. That step is straightforward and goes without saying for most people who have ever played or watched a game of baseball. But there are always exceptions to every rule, and a clip posted on YouTube shows a case where that step needed to be explained a little better to one child.

The video begins with a young man playing tee-ball, taking a good swing and hitting the ball up the middle toward the defense. But after that is when confusion and a fair amount of hilarity soon set in, creating quite an unexpected scene.

After hitting the ball, the little guy was absolutely baffled, seemingly completely unsure of what to do next. Many people, including the guy behind the camera, instruct the child to run, and seconds later, that’s what he does. Instead of heading up the first baseline as would be expected, the miniature player heads up the middle of the field, toward the pitcher’s mound.

Once he’s near the pitcher’s mound, the ball comes rolling near the runner’s feet. Deciding that he wants to be kind and helpful, he picks the ball up and throws it to first base. He helped the defense get him out.

Sometimes, sports are not for everyone.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”
