My favorite part was how when Emma couldn't get something on the first try, Mary just explained what to do instead of stepping in and doing it herself. And then Emma would get it right away! I feel like if Mary's health permitted she would make an amazing child life specialist because she's so good at explaining everything in a way that kids understand without it sounding "dumbed down".
I totally agree!!
Yes she would be a great child life specialist and mom!!
i think we have a future world renowned doctor on our hands❤
+Michael Arnold What a Clever girl Emma is considering she is ONLY ,5 years old bless her
Emma is the most gentle 5-year-old I've seen!
She really is What a smart girl.
MountainGirl7771 My sister is the same way. I was like that too. About the same advanced level as her when I was 3.
That little girl seems very advanced for her age!! So cute
She seems really smart.
Lauren Lomax definitely. My mom works with kids her age and my mom said Emma definitely has good motor function and comprehension . Mary makes a really good teacher.
So awesome that Emma is learning these things because it helps teach her that these differences are normal.
I think that it would be really neat if Mary and Peter we're able to watch Emma for a week or a couple of days at their house. I think Emma is just adorable and gets along so well with Mary.
i love the way you describe a wafer! 😂😂😂
"it's a thin layer of styrofoam and then a layer of icing and then nothing"
😂😂
How awesome!!! I can't believe Emma did so much of setting up the feeding tube by herself! How awesome for a 5 year old! Future nurse/doctor is definitely in her future! She is such a natural!
Mary, you are SO patient with Emma and one can tell you enjoy watching her develop and be curious.
You are such a natural and fantastic teacher, Mary. And not just for children. Blessings, dear...
Mary, I think you are wonderful. Working with Emma to show her that medical things don't have to be scary. :)
Lynn Amidon she would be a Good mom
And Emma has wisdom biond her years
Lynn Amidon I
@Sarina Frohn , She is an awesome aunt (of sorts) those are really important to :D
What a lovely little girl Emma is!! she is a credit to her parents 😍
Loved the interaction between you and Emma. She's such a bright and patient little girl. You are a bright and patient adult, Mary. Loved the tea party and taste test with the dolls. Peter, I admire your persistence with the drone. Thanks for sharing with us!
that little girl is ADORABLE
Setting up a feeding tube for the first time at 5 years old - that's amazing! Go Emma! :)
It's a good experience for her.
FunsizedStyle. Go Emma
Well done, Emma! Future Doctor material, right there! :D x
So great to spend time showing Emma your feeding tube. I remember shortly before my Aunt passed away she took time to show me about her IV fluids and O2 tubing. I am now a nurse. I doubt I was much older than Emma so even though it may not seem like a big deal it truly is.
i am so proud that you just let her to your feeding tub feed love u mary
This actually brought tears to my eyes. When I first got my tube, my little niece was about 5. My husband and I lived with them on and off and we see her almost as a surrogate daughter with her older brother as our surrogate son (we won't/cant have our own). She had her own medical issues but was struggling watching what was happening to me. We found that one of the most healing actions was teaching her how to perform everything necessary for my care. She learned to prepare my medications to go through the tube (and learned how to slowly push them and flush) and prepare my pump and bags for my feedings. Because I have a genetic condition, her diagnosis and the discovery that her medical issues were caused by the same underlying disease process was no surprise. It was so difficult to discover that one of the people I love most in the world had the same progressive/terminal disease and would follow a path similar to mine but it brought us together and bonded us. 8 months ago, she got her own feeding tube and her nurses and doctors were shocked by her bravery, comprehension, and independence. If any one asked, she'd reply "My Auntie Chelsea has a tubie and I know all about them because I did everything for her." She is now a teen and lives over 1000 miles away but we frequently Skype and our bond has only solidified with time. Because she saw everything she's experiencing happen to me first, she has a strange peace with the process. I'm so incredibly proud of her. Anyways, I didn't intend to blabber on so much but I did want to thank you for the gift you gave to her. Although I don't watch your channel daily, you and Peter never fail to impress. In solidarity and love, -C
Aw, that was the cutest Little Debbie's challenge!! They all looked yummy to me! Sigh! ;). Enjoy your visit, it's so nice to see you guys so happy and relaxed visiting old friends! Xoxo
Emma is so very smart! and I can see a job in the medical field some day. 5 yr old's are so much fun! :) Tea Parties are the best! Good Luck on the drone!
I'm sure mom is into healthy food, but when friend Mary comes Emma gets all sugared up!
That's what I was thinking! Kudos to Amanda for being chill!
I guess that is the perk off being the awesome "aunt" (off sorts) that only comes in to town once in a while, you can get a little bit crazy. Still, as you guys have said as well, big thumbs up to Amanda for being to cool about it. Like Mary said it is part of being a child at least once :D
Mary, thank you for this video! I can only imagine what an encouragement this must be to young kids about to get feeding tubes, and to their parents as well. You just glow when you're spending time with children! You have a real gift for it.
It is wonderful to see two incredible families! Love,Pattie
Mary, you are such an incredible person! You have taught me so much, about being humble, and looking at how beautiful life really is! Thank you so much!
Mary you are so patient and sweet. I work with kids that have to be on a feeding tubes so I do this on a daily basis. but Emma! she is so very very smart and caring. Adorable!
You're an awesome woman with a lot of patience and passion showing Emily how to work with your feeding tube. Good to see as a teacher to her that she doesn't have to be afraid of this and seeing her learn and smile... Keep up the good work girl...
Emma was a great little student, and Mary was a great teacher. You can never know too much. You worked together so calmly, without any pressure placed on Emma. A great learning environment for her.
I agee! She was so patient with her
Mary is just the most precious person. Deeply inspired by her and hooked on this vlog. Never miss a day! Peter's alright too
Too bad you didn't try a cosmic brownie! Those were always my favorite. Emma is just too cute 💜
Lexi Dunn Laura Vitale recently posted a recipe for homemade cosmic brownies on her channel. They looked so delish!
JodiBean Bielawski-Sevigny wait.. there is a homemade recipe for cosmic brownies!!!! Sorry for butting in but I've always wanted to try and make those from scratch. Those goodies bring back so many good memories from my childhood:)
Jasmine Johnson Yes, Jasmine! Search "Laura In The Kitchen episode 1172" it was posted on July 1st I believe. Laura Vitale is a phenomenal cook. She has a show on the Cooking Channel, too. Enjoy!!!
JodiBean Bielawski-Sevigny thankyou:)!
I love Emma! Thank you so much for showing her and teaching her. I was 5 years old when I started helping with my brother and sister's care. This video brought back many fond memories for me. Those memories include more than a few spilled cans of formula and bottles of water. :)
Love this video!! i'm a pediatric home health nurse working with medically fragile kids and deal with feeding tubes on a daily basis.. Mary you are such a good teacher.. love all your videos, you and your husband are so cute together
This is so cute! My eldest daughter is 5 and LOVES to help set up my feeding tube. She does the entire process for me LOL. But she does hate priming because it makes her finger sore 😉
What a special little girl and what a special bond you have with her, Mary.
What great, fun memories you are creating with Emma. So sweet❣❤️
💕 what a wonderful teacher you are Mary. Emma is a sweet caring little girl, bravo to her parents.
emma was amazing!! great to see how intelligent she is and helps others to understand how this can be share, understood and educational.
She is beyond adorable. Love her willingness to learn.
Emma is so patient and well behaved. It's nice of you to explain to her these things. I felt 5 years old again watching the tea party. I miss that!
Mary is so good with children. So sweet.
Your smile is priceless, you look so happy being with your friends and Emma is such a beautiful little girl, she looks just like her mom.
Omg this was so precious of Mary with Emma! She will always remember her tea party with you!!! So cute!
This is such a sweet video. Thanks Freys. It's nice to see you having a great time.
Mary she's amazing! I'm watching this while doing my treatment 😊
Mary I know you and Peter have decided that children wouldn't be practical for your family but you would make an incredible mother!!! Your patience and connection with her is amazing ☺️
This is so precious! Make my heart melt.
This really made my day. Being pregnant with NO appetite at all for the past 30+ weeks and seeing this really made me happy and also gave me a wicked craving for some sweets! Haha thanks for the pick me up and the craving guys!
Your friends home is beautiful and they seem like lovely people. So glad olli is having fun, he really works hard at being wonderful and he has earnt a break. Hope you get your drone back. Xoxox
This vlog with Emma just made me smile so much! Feeling pretty rough tonight from my neupogen shots, but this made my day ❤
My mom has a feeding tube (granted a different kind) and my three year old niece loves helping feed grandma. It is amazing how flexible children are and how easily they can adapt to new situations.
Mary, you're wonderful working with Emma!
I love watching you and Emma interact with each other. Emma is adorable!
My mom worked at Dolly Madison hostess for over 30 years. She worked on line 1 which was mostly zingers and a few other products. But working there she hated the smell of everything (and of course seeing what goes in them) she would never let us eat them. One year for my birthday she brought home fresh ones for me to take to school. And when there were shrek twinkies (green filling) she brought us each home one. Other than that I never had anything except little Debbie oatmeal cream cookies. Fun fact, at least when she worked there the workers could eat any product they wanted in the plant, but couldn't take it out (mom snuck is out the shrek twinkies though lol)
Jamie Singleton Chocolate zingers were my favorite as a kid, I can only imagine the junk that's in them! Still love them, though!
WOW! 5 going on 15, what a smart little girl you are Emma. She did it like a pro. So glad you all are enjoying your visit. They have an amazing piece of property.
Wow that's amazing! She's so good! Good for you for teaching her how to do that!
She was so ready to help you, that was so adorable. Love the future! ❤️👧🏻
Love the way Mary interacts with Emma. Both so gorgeous. Praying you get the drone out of that tree soon Peter! 💜
Emma is a very smart and inquisitive little one! Way to go, girl!
I love seeing that she's so gentle and acts like it's totally normal seeing differences
That short lesson with you and the little one was so adorbs!! ❤️❤️
This video made me smile from ear to ear, your tea party with Emma was the cutest thing!!! :)
I'm coughing with you today... I caught a cold from my brother, and have mild asthma that makes it worse. But as always, it was a joy to watch your joy and love of life! :)
Emma is so good! Does she want to be a doctor in the future?
Loved every minute! Emma is a sweetheart! 💗

This was such a beautiful blog per usual. I just love you guys!

She's such a smart little girl. Wonderful video, thanks!
your amazing Mary letting Emma do the feeding tube process its amazing !
Wow WTG Emma! She is an excellent helper and will be able to do it all by herself by the time you get out and back home. Oh Little Debbie snack cakes! I miss those.
She is AMAZING!!! She did so well and was so professional and careful! I LOVE that she looks at the pump each time it beeps and tells it that its loud lol. Shes so sweet!
What a sweet video. Emma is adorable and loved watching you two.
Your so positive :) thanks for your stories with your portacath. I'm currently at home waiting for the bruising to go down and for it to feel more normal. :)
Way to go Mary and Emma....great job with the feeding tube set up, the doll party and the Little Debbie cake challenge! I'm going to try to find the "Oh Ollie Boy" song in your past vlog. Cheering on from Chicago!!
Wow! This is so amazing. She is so cute and willing to learn. And you are describing everything so good.
What a wonderful video. Such a good aunt.
Emma was very impressive helping you with the feeding tube. Who knows she may become a Dr. just helping you💖 She is a little sweetheart👧
Emma is so stinking cute!!!! I wish she could always be in the vlogs!! And I love that she was interested in all your medical supplies and wanted to learn! Her parents must be the absolute best, they are raising an amazing lady!
Emma is adorable and so bright and articulate for her age! She did so well with the feeding tube!
I love the frey life
Space Giraffes ha ha ha btw I ❤️ your username 🦄💗
Nurse in the making! She did wonderful!
Aw Mary you are such am amazing person especially with animals and kids
Emma is adorable. You're so good with Children. Peter the Drone oh no, glad you have ins on it...very smart..you're friends have a lovely property. I live on a farm as well. God bless you all♡
That is so sweet. Emma is being so helpfull. She is adorable.
Mary would be such an amazing mother!
Awe, Emma is such a cute little nurse already! This is one of my favorite vlogs so far! You guys must have had a sugar rush after all the little Debbie's lol.
Emma has such a great personality, she would make a fabulous youtuber! She needs her own channel!
I seriously hope my kids are as cute as Emma one day! She is so adorable!
Go Emma!!!! My niece was super interested when I was visiting also. We have the cutest pictures of her 'changing my Huber needle' (don't worry, I actually did the actual poke and sterile)
Kids are so real and it's so good to allow them to be involved and aware of medical equipment.
All 3 of my kids (12, 8, and 5) help prime their little brothers (3yrs) set (they hold the button while i work the bubbles out) and everyone complains about the slow prime! That's so cool you gave her some new knowledge like that :).
Sweetest little helper ever.
Aaaww, I LOOOOVE little Emma! She's so talented and I love the interaction between you guys, she's a proper lady
what a terrific helper!!
you would make such a really great beautiful mom Mary. Your so sweet to her. And so much patience to, althought that's not hard to do with such a good little girl as she is. Shes to cute to. Is she family? Shes a sweetie by the way. I watch you all the time and I think your such an inspiration to many in the feeding tube community and also the terminally ILL community as well as I'm in both sides and also the port community to, You just take all this with stride and keep on keeping on and that great. And your right we have to spend as much time with our loved ones as we can cause we never know when it will be our last moment with them. So to all reading this spend your time wisely and spend it with those you love and also spend some time helping those in need. God Bless you and Peter. And may Gods mercy and blessings come upon you both and bless you a lot....
Amazing little helper!
That was so cute I,m glad that you are teaching how to do things, Love watching You and Peter and Oliver.
