My Honest Bed Time Routine

- Getting the kids to bed is the most important time of the day because we give thanks, wind down and have a little fun. Our bed time routine consists of Brushing teeth, reading a book, praying and the kids stalling for a little bit. What bed time stories would you like to see us bring to life in children's book format?

I Love when Anaya can barely contain herself because she's Soo happy 🤗. I wish life were like that for everyone everyday!
Her smile is going to get some young man’s heart one day. She is such a good looking little girl I would love to hug and kiss her
@@sharonbrown6595 And it's going to be beautiful to see it when it does
😂Right she gets so excited, it’s contagious.
@@sharonbrown6595 What is wrong with you? Seriously always introducing these romantic scenarios when discussing kids. The light in her eyes as well as her smile is because she's a well-cared for, safe, happy loved CHILD! Let that be!

.I can say exactly what I want to ok. Freedom of speech. Ever heard of it. I love her smile and it is gorgeous so I can say what I want ok None of your f##king business. Unless Glen or yvette say anything I don’t listen to dummies. You know where you can stick that butterfly. Everyone want their lives to matter but lordie if my OPINION isn’t exactly like yours you flip. Go get a life and stay out of mine. Oh I see someone didn’t mind my comment. So you r dismissed with your negative crap. I love this little girl and I wish for her thar her candle will never be stepped on ever with negative comments like yours. So so many comments made to bring people down. And here is a video with her happy attitude. Go away and get some smile too. You really need it I have seen so so many times people making comments like yours to our young people and I hate it. I had a terrible childhood and now I learned to find my backbone. So give me your best shot. Remember when she was eyeing up that one boy and Glen recorded it that was what I was remembering as if it’s any of you GD business. Sheesh.
I just was uptown same thing two teens were laughin and happy and someone came up and told one kid he had nappy hair wtf. So sad to see their happiness turn to sadness. Another couple and myself spent time telling these teens they were beautiful handsome young intelligent men Be proud smile and laugh. I don’t even know what nappy means but it wasn’t a good thing when I saw how sad that one lad was. So I am for making all kids smile. And I hope this little girls smile never goes away. So please don’t come near any teens as I can see you being the one to tell this teens about his hair. Not good enough for you
I smiled when Beleaf walked with the kids on his feet. It warms my heart to see a loving black family highlighted
I agree. Seeing this brought back memories of when my dad used to do the same thing with me when I was a kid. 🥲❤️😀
Its so beautiful man
@@tw2252 how sweet 💞
@@Pridecrucified it made(makes) my heart flutter . There is hope in our( black)community. 🖤🤎
Yeah !
One of the all time great Dad tricks!
Uncle Baby is so cute!!😭🥲🥲
Beleaf makes raising four kids look so easy and adorable!😍😍"And I pray for Spiderman"😆
Exactly. That spider man request took me out 🤦♀️🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. They are so adorable.
@@enicolehoward3544 Yes!!
Your second line was my exact thought!! How precious. 💜💜💜
Tom Holland be getting blessed today 😂
Please do “Uriah and the Puzzle” as the first installment of Chocolate Babies book series! Then “Anaya’s Girls Day”, “Uncle Baby”, and “Theo and Lily” 🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾
RV Kids Chronicles , "Anaya's first crush."
@@gabrielleellison715 Yessss!!!
And "the family roadtrip" can be a mini series!
@Ulyssia Dennis 4 great titles right there!
❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯
You can see how much Lily loves you all. She is happy to be with her humans. She is intelligent and WANTS to learn so I imagine she will thrive with training.
Yes she came into the family and brought her own little happy vibe, you can tell she enjoys keeping them company 😍🥰😍
I didn't get to have them, but hearing Uzi and Anaya giggle brings me joy! One of the most beautiful sounds in the world.
My niece's daughter, when she was still the only one and 2 yrs old, would run out of the bath, through the house naked, and hide. Behind the drapes in the living room. Every night, the same spot....😆😆
That is such a precious memory to have 😂😆☺️☺️🥰🥰💕💕🙏🏽🙏🏽 peace and blessing to you.
@@Jazzyjayyy you too!
Awww🥰🥰
You are absolutely a great dad, not a good dad, but a GREAT DAD!!
Uzi's tiny little self holding his Dad.. reminds me of when Riah was that small ❤❤
Awww it does. Riah was a cute baby
The way Uzi laughs when he’s in your leg reminds me of my dad and my siblings. We’re in our 30’s and still inseparable. Now that we all have our own children, it’s like our club of 4 became 15😅 and our parents are still the highlight of our life; all of our whole SUN and MOON 🥰😇
Love how you were cutting the baby's fingernails so naturally and easily. What a lovely caring Father. You made me smile the entire video.
The end clip of your daughter’s genuine reactions to her Birthday festivities was just priceless! I just love her smile! You two make parenting seem fun and make all the difficult moments worth it!! Thank from the bottom of my heart for the awesome and good quality content!
I couldn’t stop myself from smiling!
@@Dani-jd8et Good so it wasn't just me!! I love it!
💕
I was smiling the whole time... I could feel the bubbles of joy in her little heart...love the whole family...
Oh my gosh, I couldn't contain myself seeing how she could barely contain herself! When was the last time something made you this excited?! Loved it!!! 🥰
My heart is always full when I watch the Chocolate Babies 🥹🤎🤎
SAME! I am smiling right through.
Just lost my Dad and it's SO wonderful to see you making Daddy memories 👏🏽🤗🥰🦋💜
So sorry for your loss❤️
@@serasmile6026 🙏🏽Thank You ! Not many people are blessed like me, I had a
Daddy til I was 65 years old.💔🙏🏽😔🦋💜
Much respect for my man Theo, who is practicing his own self care in the form of private time alone… I missed him being in the mix, but I definitely understand and I’m happy he is allowed to choose that for himself… balance is beautiful.
Smiled so hard at Beleaf carrying the kids on his legs from the bathroom to the bedroom!🥰🥰 Why don't you do a story about how you all got Lily? And definitely put in a cartoon scene of when she was chasing Theo that one time. 😅😂
Yes that would be awesome!
Lily chasing Theo was hilarious.
An idea for a children's story "Adventure with Uzi"
-Mud on your face
-Uzi wants to go school
-Theo vs the dog
Uncle baby: "This is outrageous!" 😂😂😂 I love your family! ❤️
Uriah and the puzzle would be a good book! I feel like it’s a good way to show children that we don’t have them do stuff to be mean but to help them grow.
I don’t have children yet, but like myself and a lot of others…we know a lot of children !! I believe an interactive learning book, but make it BLACK, would be fire!! Like numbers, different words of the day, story times through a book is an awesome concept as well ( as mentioned in the video )!! Much Love💓
Oh what joy, been away for a while lost my brother, husband recovering from a stroke. What a blessing your sweet babies allowed me to have the best laughter I've had in months. Thank you 😊 💓
@@clairewalker9591 God's healing blessings to you & yr family🙏
Thank you for shouting out the non parents who watch the channel! We support too!
BOOK IDEA: Fighting with sibling and learning coping skills ex. to breath, count to 10 etc and how to apologize in the end! 💕
I'm glad too. His family reminds me a little of my childhood.
No lie, I'm getting so much love & inspiration from watching your videos. I'm not yet a father but watching how well you love & parent your tribe, gives me so much hope!
Finally. Somebody remembered Spider-Man and all the princesses in their prayer request.🤣🤣🤣🤣you got some adorable kids right there Glen. Great job on your parenting journey so far
The story of Anaya learning she's beautiful ❤️
Our favorite family. Their prayer requests were too cuuute! lol
Uzi looks like his dad so much
A book about having a new baby and a road trip book or hiking book
This is so sweet. Many hugs to Yvette and Theo. 🤗
Cheers to you brother, it's inspirational to see a fellow brother just being a good Father, unlearning and relearning to be the best version of fatherhood to my unborn kids.
It's a beautiful thing to see 🙂
I had my three kids within 4 yrs. It was exhausting and beautiful at the same time ❤️ You’re family is beautiful 😍
Awwww the noise of Uzi and Anaya laughing when they are on your legs is so cute
Their squeals of delight…… just melt my heart 🥰🥰😍😍😍
Great bedtime routine with 4 kiddos.
A good book would be preparing kids for a new baby.
A book about the trip to Uzi's first soccer practice would be hilarious and it would teach kids a great lesson about when things don't go as planned.
We need a book on Flash and Theo’s friendship. I lost a friend as a kid and I bet there’s lots of other kids out there who could make sense of loss in a more healthy manner.
Maybe the story about making Anaya apologize and understand the importance forgiveness
Also, would love to read something on, your self-care day “the Chocolate Babies Way”.
I’d love to get a copy of your current book for my nieces and nephews. Definitely print more copies! Y’all never miss with the merch and art work.
Lily all up in the mix is the best thing ever
Lily is so chill and well behaved seemingly overnight lol. I'm sooo happy for you guys. CONGRATS on the new home as well!!!
I look forward to being a father one day after watching this video. I know it’s not all sunshine and rainbows but being that present in their lives will be amazing
I would love to see "Uzi vs. The Carseat" as a book somehow! It's how I re-discovered your channel (been subscribed for years now! Came for the family friendly songs, stayed for the family content)
Love this channel SO MUCH
Yes for books! This one and other topics: Growing Up, Getting My Haircut with Dad, What’s Your Name, My First Pet, Jumping in Learning to Swim.
To hear children laugh is the purest joy 🥰
I love the stories that teach about ones character. I recall when you found out about Theo stealing when he was younger, and insisting on immediately getting him to understand the consequences of stealing from others and being accountable. There were also storylines with Uriah learning what it means to keep one’s word, teamwork, bugs, dog poo, etc.
Watching them sitting on your legs while you walked brought back some good memories! I totally forgot how my sisters and I used to do that with my dad. Loved this video and their laughs
The most inspirational moments for me were...a father in the mindset of (my plan for my children's bedtime)...being in the moment of play, practicing dental hygiene before bed, taking a vitamin to keep the body healthy during sleep, play before storytime, storytime, prayer and encouraging his children to participate....with a puppy...all while staying calm and projecting happiness. Memories children will remember for a lifetime and we pray will adopt when they have families. Thank you family for giving father's this visual. Peace and blessings to you. 😊
A good book could be a birthday story. If it’s not your birthday and how that might feel and how it’s important to celebrate others too!
I must admit, this is a different way to get get ready for bed, but it seems to work great! This is the best!
This is so sweet! My parents had four of us as well just the opposite way around (3girls, one boy) and honestly we had so much fun together. Even when we were doing chores we found a way to have fun. This gave me nostalgia from those days. Cherish them…
Uzi has the sweetest, most wholesome smile ❤️
Your kids are lucky to be close in age. I was putting my brother to bed and reading him a story because I was a teenager when he was born. 😂 So I was like his weird aunt who everyone at his school thought was his mom(Mom and I have very similar voices). I miss his little kid sleepy brain babble sometimes.
I'm glad to see Lily being included in the family prayer time. My dog won't eat unless someone says grace over his food. We didn't train him like that on purpose, but it happened because his meal time is typically ours, too, and he sees us sitting down to pray first. So he waits until he hears Amen before he'll eat. I had to explain that to the neighbors who kept him while we went on vacation a few years ago and they didn't believe it until he wouldn't eat his breakfast the 1st morning there. He just went to his bowl and sat waiting for the Amen lol. I called to check on him and reminded them of his need to pray over his food and while I was on the phone, they sat down to eat. The wife just said Amen and I could hear him tearing up his food LOL!!! It tripped them out, and they recorded it every meal time to share on FB (with my permission) and their family and friends thought it was the cutest thing ever.
I started watching y’all probably right before Uzi was born when I was still in school going thru prob the worst depression I’ve ever experienced. At that time I started consuming tons of family vlog content on CZcams but looking back specifically father blog content (lol I wonder what that’s about)
Idk I just wanted to tell you how much your channel and family helped me through that time, down to even your community and other commenters replying, offering me words of support and encouragement.
It’s been a year or so since I ultimately failed out of school due to said depression and I’m doing so well y’all.
I just got a second job. I’m going back for my last 2 credits next spring. And I’m not only happy but I’ve processed everything and why it happened.
I noticed because I hardly watch CZcams at all anymore (✨when you’re not in bed all day it’s honestly hard to find the time✨) and I came back to check in and GOODNESS They’ve grown soooo much in so little time how???!
I may never have my own kids so thank you for sharing yours with us and letting me live vicariously through you without the real messy parts of raising children (and if I do, you’ve changed me from wanting one kid to EIGHT) 😂😂💛
Glen you and your family are truly inspiring. Y’all got me over here smiling like I’m there with y’all😂😂😅 I think you should do a hide and seek children’s book next.
Woke up a little depressed, a child's laughter is the meditation for the soul. Thank you 😊 💓
Saying a little prayer for you tonight. Feeling the same. Sending positive vibes 🧡
@@Reneelovee hugs and the same to you hun. 🤗
Your whole family is beautiful! Including Lily. Her color, her cut, her shape. A very beautiful dog indeed
I cannot wait for the best fifth birthday ever. Gosh , this vlog was so cozy. Great daddy. Missed Theo.❤️
uriah vs the puzzle was a good one!
i also think making the rv trip into a book would be cool
getting the puppy would also be a cute book
I love the little things that you do give the little ones so much joy. 😍 Baby girl is just in awe of her upcoming birthday plans. 🤩 She’s so adorable 🥰. Thank y’all. I just love watching Uzi growing. He’s so comical.
I teared up when you were praying with the kids. You guys are such a beautiful family. I hope one day God gives me a family like this. All the love.
I would love to see the bedtime book rerelease do and some new ones. Some subjects could be:
1. Cooking with the Chocolate Babies (maybe add some recipes like the Hawaiian sandwich).
2. It's Fun To Swim (about how important it is to know how to swim and not to give up while learning something new)
3. Loving Lily (about getting a new pet and how the family loved her even when she was difficult at first)
4. On the Road with the Chocolate Babies (about travelling be in the RV with the kids, the fun places you saw, and how you all had to work together)
Beautiful teeth and smile 🥰 Adorable babies and Awesome Dad ❤️
And that adorable Lily too
Their kids are going to tell everyone how great of parents they had growing up. I’m 38 and talk about how AMAZING my mom was. Their parenting style is JUST like my moms and probably going to be how I parent. They’re GREAT!
Saaaame. I never even realized how much I talked about my parents until one day my boyfriend told me he hopes that one day his children look at him the way I look at my dad 😭😭
@@k.m512 awwww see that’s awesome!!
The classic kid on dad’s leg trick! Love to see it in action❤️
Edit: a story about getting a new puppy would be great!
When I play hide and seek with little kids I do the dames thing ax Uzi, opening drawers etc. The kids crack up because they get the joke. Love your parenting style. You can never go wrong praying for Spider-Man.
You are the most precious family ever. I commend you for taking the lead in your family as the father is called to be in the home. That is priceless!
The hug at the end is everything a parent wants from their child. A tight, warm, and long hug is worth more than a billion words. Peace and Blessings
I absolutely love your family and wish I would have been born into your family too. This video was so beautiful.
Yes please bring on the bedtime stories. I really enjoy reading with my daughter especially before bed.
That blessed me so much, Beleaf. Watching you and your babies. Such a fun and loving dad. They will never forget these times. Even when they are older and seems more distant. I believe with all my heart that these memories are in their solid for them to draw upon. Reminds me so much of bedtime when mine were little. Sweet memories. I like to go back and visit there. MY FAVE...Walking w Anaya and Uzi on your feet and prayers with them. Huge!!!! ❤
I might have to incorporate that little of fun right before bed time to help my sons because its a struggle sometimes lol.
These are Incredible book suggestions!!
The cutest babies on youtube ❤ Love everything you guys are doing and it aint easy but yall make it look easy.❤
I just love this beautiful family and Lily makes it even more beautiful ♥️
If someone wiped my face with a warm cloth saying "alright alright" i would smile too. Happy for them.
I love your kids. They are so precious. Each one of them has such a fun personality. Thank you for sharing your family with us all. ❤️❤️❤️
Love the video! You can really see the continuous effort you both put into raising your kids. Truly admirable. Perhaps a book about caring for a family pet from dog's (Lilly's) pov about how she has love shown to her, call it, 'Lilly Needs Love, Too'. I have neither(kid or pet) at the moment but would enjoy how you'd creatively reflect on how your kids went from wanting a pet to taking care of one. JS. TC 😁
Love the chocolate babies!!! 😃
Book ideas:) Black girl Joy, traveling in the RV, home school, starting a new sport, hiking
At bedtime when we kids had that crazy energy my dad use to tell us to run up and down the stairs as fast as we could 10 times or until we gave up. It felt amazing to get that energy out and we slept well after that.
I don’t comment much but I’m definitely a fan. I love that you are showing the black family unit based on GOD and love.
I just love your family dynamic!
Release books on brushing teeth!!!! And Doing things you may not want to do!!✨✨✨
The best family on the internet 💯 if I ever become a parent I’d be lucky to have a parental unit like this. They’re all so cute and smart😭
I love how you close the routine off with a Lord’s Prayer. Amen !
Another video??!!!! Yassss.
Hearing Uzi & Anaya’s laughter is the most adorable thing 🥺😍
So cute to see lilly hanging with the bed time buddy’s
I loved the prayer requests for the Princesses and Spider-Man 🥰🥹🙏🏽💙💗
I would love to order one! As a small business owner I always encourage & support other small businesses!!🥰
This is certainly a guide to having a strong Black family, particularly praying together & asking the kids their requests. Terrific!
Oh my word, you are such an incredible Father, l LOVE watching you and your family, God Bless you and you family. 🙏 much love from Durban, South Africa 🇿🇦
This is the epitome of childhood. I wish everyone could experience this kind of love and nurturing. Our world would be a much better place 💕
Book topic ideas: Home schooling, cooking w/ the kids, teaching the kids to swim, race relations, losing/finding Lily, oh yes, the puzzle would be awesome. How could I forget an Uncle Baby story. Blessings
So comforting and nice. I would like to suggest a children’s Bible Story, with the kids and some of the people (did not want to call them characters).
Oh, this was so awesome. This is why I love this channel. There are just so many more aspects of life that fathers enjoy when they actually live with their children.😊👏🏽
I definitely would love to see more books from you guys! A topic that I think really needs to be tackled is children whose parents have separated. I’ve always longed to see Black children’s books that help kids adjust to having to split time between mom’s home and dad’s home. It’s a sad topic, but an important one.
Watching the babies sit on your feet unlocked some old memories for me ☺️ Your videos are like a warm hug so thank you xxx
I think a book about Riah getting over his fear or riding a bike would be a good story.
4:12 just warmed my heart because that's exactly how it would be for me, something to look forward to like a bonding moment and having your parent take care of you like that is always so relaxing. So cute 💝
i’ve been really struggling with mental health recently and your videos are such a blessing for me, i don’t know if i’ll ever be stable enough to have or even should have babies but seeing how beautiful, respectful, kind and intelligent yours are are really warms my heart. thank you for sharing your incredible life and unknowingly helping me cope while being sick.
i sometimes cry through the videos but only good tears for once because if i were lucky enough to have a family one day i would want to be as amazing of a parent as you two are and have my children grow up in an environment of patience, warmth, love, confidence and happiness like the one you provide for them.
besides the sob story i would love to see a book about the confidence and support you gave your kids about swimming; especially anaya’s progress. she’s such a strong little girl and i hope she knows how proud we all are of her 💖
This is what a family should look like. Keep going.
“Father god I pray for Spider-Man and all of the princesses.” 😂
