. Who's appearance on our show has been viewed more than 25 million times. From El Paso, Texas, let's welcome Emma and her mother Annie. What's different? There's something different about you. It's because I have glasses. That's what it is, you have glasses on. When did you receive the glasses? Very recently, it's very new. Recent and do you like them? Mm-hm. I loved them. I think they are great. They are a great color. They're adorable. Now, can you do

ics with the glasses? Yes. How do you do them? Can you tell him about your special glasses you have for the gym?

Are they like glasses? Yes. Yes, they're like glasses, so they stay on. Is there a strap and everything? Mm-hm. Did you know I needed glasses? Because the last time you were here you thought she was just clumsy. Well, I was a little worried because clumsiness is one thing but she kept running into things. And I'm not sure that's so normal. Correct. So, I actually checked his eyes. Why do you need glasses? Can you tell him? He lacks depth perception. Uh huh. So she can see well, she can see what's in front of her. Uh huh. But he can't tell exactly how far he is from her.

I see. That's why she kept running into things. It's surprising because you're so good at gymnastics, you'd think you'd have to be good at depth perception with gymnastics, right? Yes. That's amazing. So, it's totally okay to do gymnastics. You don't have any problem with that. So you're four

year

s old now. You had a birthday. What did you do to celebrate? What did she do to celebrate? Where did you go? Do you want to tell everyone where we went? She's having a shy day. She is fine. She's having a shy day. she's fine. Yeah, we went to Jungle Jack's and well, I think what she liked most about her was riding the bumper cars and the bumper boats, probably.

Yes, that was good. That's great, so I know her husband is overseas, he's in the military. So you missed Emma's birthday, right? Yes, she did. So, that's really difficult. Were you able to FaceTime or do anything? Yes, we were able to connect it with FaceTime. Yes. When she opened her gifts, we had it on FaceTime so she could see it. And there is a certain way you can receive messages. The last time you were here you had the hug jar. Yes. And now there's a new way you can listen to messages, what is it? Do you want to tell him about it?

I think she's in a bag there, if you want to show me how it works. Do you want to show it to him? Yes. He's a kitten, and what's wrong? You press the blue button. Do you press which button? Sweet dreams, princess, I love you so much, I miss you so much and I can't wait to talk to you. Sweet dreams. That's your dad can talk to you through the kitten. That's so sweet. I love that. Alright. We have to take a break. When we get back, I know you have another kitten too. Felix, right? Is Felix your kitten?

So, I have a little gift for Felix. We'll be back. Now we have a little

surprise

for you. We get your dad out, Brent. My God. , How about that? It's a

surprise

, right? That's a good surprise. Surprise! Thank you! I'm so happy you're here. You have been stationed in Korea and will only be here for a few days. So thank you to the US military for allowing this to happen. Thank you so much. How are you? Are you happy? Are you happy? Thank you. That's so precious when she was playing your voice through the little kitten.

It's such a great idea that she'll be able to hear you. Yes, you get one every morning and every night. That's so sweet! So you missed his birthday, that must have been really hard for you. Yes, it was, we usually do something very special for his birthday. We will take a trip or make it a very special day just for her. All about her day. But I wasn't there. So we did it over FaceTime. So, I was kind of there but not there at the same time. I could see her open all of her gifts and see her excitement still.

Well, we want you to have as much fun as possible while you're here and celebrate her birthday now that you're here. Then we'll send you to Disneyland. You'll see Thank you Thank you for being here. Have fun and enjoy.
