What Bella May Be Trying To Communicate 💜 | Part 1

The older Bella gets, the more I find myself paying attention to things I used to overlook.

The way she holds onto certain comfort items.

The way she watches everything around her.

The little routines that seem so important to her.

For years, I thought communication had to look a certain way. Now I’m realizing there may have been things she was trying to tell me all along.

Maybe communication isn’t always words.

Maybe sometimes it’s in the things we notice when we slow down and really watch. 💜🌸

This is Part 1 of a new series where I’m sharing what I’m learning as I continue to understand Bella’s world.
