I GOT IN THE TUB WITH HER 💜

Hair washing has always been a process for Bella, and after our attempt at the sink didn’t work, I decided to try something completely different. 💜 This time, I put Bella in her bathing suit and gave her time to get comfortable in the water first. No rushing straight into washing her hair. No im

HER HANDS WERE FULL… SHE WASN’T DONE 💜

First time in this Family Dollar, and Bella had to figure out the setup before she could get down to business. 😊💜 Once she started finding what she wanted, though, there was no stopping her. Lollipop, Kit Kat, Takis, ice cream… those little hands kept getting fuller and fuller. I offered to help

THE LITTLE ROUTINES SHE CREATES 💜🌸

Some routines become part of the day without anybody ever planning them. 💜 Every time we come back, Bella makes her little stop at this tricycle before going inside. Tonight she walked up carrying Minnie and her other comfort friend, stopped like she always does, sat for a moment, whistled, and

We Tried the Sink for Hair Washing 💜

After our last hair-washing video, so many people suggested that I try washing Bella’s hair over the sink instead of in the bathtub. So I listened and gave it a try. 💜 I tried involving Bella in the process, letting her interact with the water and showing her what we were doing. But as we got

Waiting Looks Different for Bella 💜

Waiting in line is such an ordinary part of everyday life, but sometimes the smallest moments show me another piece of how Bella experiences the world. 💜 She had Minnie and the cookies she picked out, and she was ready to check out. But it wasn’t our turn yet. So while we waited, Bella paced

She Had Everything She Needed 💜

Minnie in one hand. An apple in the other. And Mama right beside her. 💜 She had everything she needed for this little walk to the car. I spend a lot of time sharing the moments that help people understand Bella’s world, but getting to know her also means seeing moments like this. No big expla

The Little Routine She Never Forgets 💜🌸

Every time we come to Golden Corral, Bella stops at those machines before we go inside. 💜 She doesn’t ask me to play them or try to win anything. She just wants time to look, explore, and take it all in. When she’s finished, she moves on. Inside, I watched her explore in her own way again. An

WHAT IS SHE TRYING TO GRAB? 💜

Sometimes the smallest things can hold Bella’s attention in the biggest way. 💜 I don’t always know exactly what she sees or what has caught her attention in moments like this. Instead of assuming, sometimes I just stop, watch, and let her show me. This time, it was the rainwater gathering nea

She Told Me What She Needed Without Words 💜

Bella may be nonverbal, but she communicates with me in so many different ways. 💜 From the moment we walked into the store, she knew what she wanted. I gave her room to look around, make her choices, and show me what had her attention. Later, when she needed help opening her candy, she brough

Her Laugh Said It All 💜

I still don’t know what had Bella so tickled, but whatever it was, she could not stop laughing. 💜 No lesson to explain. No “why” to figure out. Just a little moment of pure joy that I’m glad I caught. 🌸 Sometimes the simplest moments tell you everything you need to know. Follow Watch Bella

Nonverbal Autism: Playing Her Own Way 💜

I really thought carrying all of that would get in Bella’s way at the park. She showed me otherwise. 💜 I could’ve made her put everything down because I thought it would make playing easier. But she wasn’t ready to let any of it go, so I gave her room to figure it out. She swung, went down th

Nonverbal Autism: Her Grocery Store Choices 💜

We only went into Harris Teeter to grab a few things for our picnic, but Bella had her own shopping list. 💜 Being nonverbal doesn’t mean Bella doesn’t have preferences or ways of communicating them. Sometimes I’m so busy trying to figure out what she might want that I forget to give her room to

She Wasn’t Looking for a Ride 🏍️💜

She wasn’t looking for a ride. She was experiencing it her way. 🏍️💜 First the motorcycle caught Bella’s attention, then it was the bicycle. She explored both completely in her own way — no instructions, no expectations, just curiosity. Moments like this remind me that sometimes understanding

She Found Her Own Kind of Cool 🌀💜

We stopped to grab something to eat, but Bella found something much more interesting. 🌀💜 In the middle of a crowded little restaurant, she spotted the fan — and once she found it, she kept going back. She watched it, moved with it, and enjoyed that moment completely in her own way. When it wa

How My Autistic Child Explores an Indoor Playground 💜

Everyone else was playing one way. Bella found her own. 💜🌸 This was Bella’s first time at this indoor Playland, and I loved watching how she approached a completely new environment. She looked everything over first, then started exploring — the ball pit, slides, climbing areas, a ball machine

She Almost Clocked In at Golden Corral 💜🍦

We came to Golden Corral to eat… and Bella had her own plans. 💜🌸 From the moment we arrived, she wanted to explore everything that caught her attention. Somehow she ended up behind the counter with the employees, made the manager laugh, found the sweets, and eventually settled down to enjoy her

She Touched Everything… Then Came the Horse 🐴💜

She touched everything… but when I pulled out that horse, her whole reaction changed. 🥹🐴💜 The rocking, the excitement, and that little happy whistle told me everything I needed to know. Bella already had two horses she loves, and now her little collection has grown by one. 💜 And a special

A Doctor’s Visit Through Bella’s Eyes 💜

A doctor’s appointment with Bella looks a little different. 💜 She explored the waiting room, found her way behind the desk, tried out somebody else’s chair, found the water the second we reached the exam room… and then came the doctor’s pen. 😂 What stood out to me most was how the people arou

I Saw a Trail… She Saw So Much More 🌳💜

I thought we were just going for a nature walk. 💜 I saw a trail. Bella saw everything around it. She stopped to look up into the trees. She changed directions. She wandered off the path. She took her time exploring whatever caught her attention. And instead of constantly redirecting her, I

She Walked Right Past It… Then RAN Back 💜

Sometimes “not now” really does mean… just not yet. 💜 Earlier, Bella walked right past this little stream because she had other things she wanted to explore first. But on our way out, she saw it again — and this time, she RAN straight to it. She sat beside the water, listened, watched, and
