Indigo made Tacos
My five year old has been diagnosed with disabilities. I find a lot of people have opinions about what children are capable of, but there is so much about what disabled children are NOT capable of. Indigo Rose likes to prove everyone wrong 😂
Indigo started talking at 3 months old and walking at 9 months old. She was less than a year old when she started referencing things for her art, memorizing full books, writing out letters, and using ASL for communication when she’s overstimulated.
She writes music, is in love with instruments, and wants to be a ballerina. She also wants to compete on American Ninja Warrior. And to be a cop and veterinarian and teacher and…
I never learned to cook more than boxed things. I am mediocre at best when it comes to cooking. So I asked Indigo if she wanted to learn with me. After tonight I think it’s safe to say we can add another talent to her list 😂
I’m so proud of my baby 💜 and I’m glad that, even though she has the label “disabled,” she has no problem showing everyone what she’s made of and how tough,smart,funny,loving,talented she is 💜#disabledbaddie #embracevulnerability #unfiltered #lemon8challenge #indigoforpresident
