I Didn’t Expect Her to Do This 💜

Sometimes the little things show me just how much is changing. 💜 There was a time when Bella wouldn’t have been this interested in going through everything she received, so watching her take her time and explore each thing made me smile. But that last little moment caught my attention. She to

I Let Her Take Her Time 💜

We had just gotten out of the car, but Bella wasn’t ready to go inside yet. 💜 She found herself a little spot outside and settled in. She watched what was happening around her, noticed the birds overhead, played with the leaves, and just enjoyed her moment. I could’ve hurried her along, but w

She Served Herself for the First Time 💜

Bella has been to Golden Corral before, but this visit I watched her do something I had never seen her do. 💜 She walked up to the dessert bar, picked up the cake server, chose her own piece, put it on her plate, and even returned the server when she was finished. It may look like a small moment,

She Found Her Own Way to Learn 💜

Once Bella settled into the library, I got to see what interested her when she had room to choose. 💜 She kept returning to the puzzles, worked through pieces that were harder for her, accepted a little guidance when she needed it, practiced cleaning up, and eventually started exploring more of t

Our Homeschool Classroom Was the Library Today 📚💜

Today we took homeschool outside of the house and into the community. 💜📚 For Bella’s first library visit, our focus was simple: following directions in a new environment. Before we even walked through the door, I told her what I expected—stay with Mommy. Once we got inside, she was ready to e

The Hard Moment Wasn’t the Whole Story 💜

The hard moment wasn’t the end of the lesson. 💜 This was Day 1 of homeschool, and we took learning into the real world. Bella struggled with waiting, became frustrated, and needed redirection when she wanted to go somewhere she wasn’t supposed to go. But that’s why we practice these things in

She Found a Whole New Way to Explore 👀💜

Sometimes Bella’s curiosity takes her somewhere I never expected. 💜🌸 This was one of those little real-life moments where Bella found something that caught her attention and turned it into her own little adventure. For Bella, exploring can look different. Sometimes it’s books, sometimes puzzl

She Opened It All By Herself 💜

She used to hand these straight to me to open. 💜 Now she’s starting to realize she can try it herself. Then came lesson number two—pick that wrapper up and put it in the trash. 🤭🌸 These little moments of independence mean so much to me. Every little step counts. #autismmom #autismaccep

Homeschool Day 1: Learning Patience in Real Life

I said we were working on patience today… Bella had other plans. 😭 Today was day one of homeschool, but our lesson didn’t happen at a desk. We took learning into the real world—slowing down, waiting, listening, redirecting, and working through the frustration when “not yet” felt really hard.

I Used to Wonder Why She Did Things Like This

Raising Bella has taught me that I don’t always have to understand something immediately to respect what it means to her. Sometimes my job is simply to watch, learn, and meet her where she is. 💜🌸 I’m still learning her world one day at a time. #autismmom #autismawareness #autismacce

SHE REALLY LOOKED LIKE SHE WORKED THERE 🤭

I walked away to grab something from the buffet and came back to find Bella behind the dessert counter at the sink with the water running. 🤭💜 The funniest part was the employee was still back there working while Bella was doing her own thing like she belonged right there with her. 😊 Just anot

She Kept Coming Back to This 💜

SOMETIMES WHAT LOOKS RANDOM ISN’T RANDOM AT ALL. 💜 We stopped for egg rolls, but Bella found so much more to explore. She moved through the space in her own way, connected with people, checked out everything that caught her attention — and somehow kept returning to the same spot. One thing

HER HANDS WERE FULL… SHE STILL WASN’T DONE 🌸

Her hands were already full, but Bella knew exactly what she wanted. 💜 What started as a quick convenience store trip turned into one of those everyday moments that gives me another glimpse into how Bella experiences the world. And getting everything to the register was only part of the adven

She Keeps Doing This Over and Over 💜

The tapping, the whistling, the little sounds, the tiptoeing… Bella was completely locked into her own little rhythm tonight. 💜 Sometimes these repetitive little moments are simply part of how she experiences and interacts with the world around her. I get to watch, learn, and understand a little

I Called Her Name & She Came Back 💜

Bella was busy exploring and checking out everything around her, but when I called her name, she turned around and came right back to me. 💜 It may look like an ordinary little moment, but these are the moments I notice. Every response, every connection, and every little bit of progress matters.

Day 4 of Bella’s Hair: We Almost Finished 💜

Day 4 of doing Bella’s hair, and this is where we’re ending our hair journey for now. 💜🌸 We picked up from the halfway point and kept going. When something wasn’t working, we adjusted. When Bella needed reassurance, I gave it to her. There were harder moments, breaks, kisses, and plenty of patie

Day 3 of Bella’s Hair Journey 💜

Day 3 of doing Bella’s hair… and we’re still going. 💜 After getting through the wash, it was time to start the retwist. Bella was already letting me know she had about enough. She tried to get away, closed up my products, moved my hands when she wanted me to stop, fussed, whistled, cried, set

Not Even the Rain Could Slow Her Down 🌧️💜

Not even the pouring rain was slowing Bella down. 🌧️💜 We made another Family Dollar run, and before we could even get through the door, somebody noticed how excited she was. “She excited about something, ain’t she?” “Yeah. Ice cream.” 😊 She grabbed her candy, headed to the freezer, picked

Pure Joy in a Room Full of Bubbles 🫧💜

Sometimes the simplest moments bring the biggest joy. 💜 No big outing. No big lesson. Just Bella in the living room, surrounded by bubbles and jumping her little heart out. 🫧🌸 I love catching these ordinary moments where she’s simply enjoying herself. Sometimes that’s the whole story — and th

SHE STARTED HELPING 💜

Hair washing is still not one of Bella’s favorite things, but this time the process looked a little different. 💜 After giving her time to get comfortable with me in the tub, it was finally time to actually start washing her hair. I began slowly with water from my hands. Bella vocalized, pushe
