During an interview with Today.com, published May 31, the YouTube star — whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso — shared how her baby daughter Susannah is doing and how her son Thomas, 7, has been adapting to his role of older brother.
“Thomas is even changing diapers sometimes — except for no poopy ones,” Accurso, who conducted the interview alongside her husband Mr. Aron (real name Aron Accurso), explained. “He’s given her a bottle, he’s burped her. He’s just the sweetest with her.”
Accurso, 42, went onto share that Susannah is “such a happy, smiley baby” and detailed how she keeps the little one entertained by giving her her very own private show of her YouTube content.
“I had [Susannah] in front of me, and I was like, ‘I want to sing her a song. Hmm, what should I sing?’ And then I was like, ‘Wait, this is my area,’ ” Ms. Rachel said. “I’ve been doing full episodes for her, just as myself!”

On April 8, Rachel announced that she and Aron had welcomed Susannah via surrogacy on Instagram, saying “we are so in love.”
“Sometimes timing isn’t what you plan and the road to get there is bumpier than you expect, but when you hold your little ones you know… I’m meant to be your mama,” she continued.
“I was unable to carry this pregnancy for medical reasons and we were blessed to have a surrogate who gave us the most precious gift possible. We are now all family forever.”
Accurso’s latest YouTube video encourages potty training for little ones. While taking a break from YouTube, the two began working on the episode, and used their experience potty training Thomas as inspiration.

“I was thinking back to my own potty training journey with Thomas, and it’s really refreshing to bring some joy to it, and some fun and some dancing and singing,” Accurso told Today.com. “I joke that it’s like a Broadway show about poop and pee.”
“We brought in several Broadway friends to perform in the show and also help with arranging and the underscoring and live playing,” Aron added.
The episode, which was filmed in January, is currently available on YouTube.
