A few weeks ago, I finished decorating Diego’s room.
Sea Animals out.
Dinosaurs in.
At the head of his bed there are two T-Rex dinosaurs, I flippantly mentioned to Diego that we could put his name on the wall in between the two dinosaurs.
I told him that once I found the letters that I would put his name at the head of his bed.
Imagine my surprise this morning when I went into D’s room to wake him for school.
“Mommy look!”
“My name!”
“I found the letters!”
He wrote it on the wall in marker….
But….he wrote it.
So obviously, I couldn’t be upset.
He has been working very hard at writing his name and I did tell him we were going to put his name on the wall.

I love his brain.
We are “all dinosaur, all the time” here too!
Awesome work Diego! And awesome work Shivon or being such a great understanding mom xx
Now that I am a parent of a child who has autism, I am amazed by the things I see as blessings that tend to upset parents of “neurotypical” children. My daughter wrote all over our walls one day with ball point pen. But I couldn’t be mad because I remember when she couldn’t write one thing. Thanks for sharing this post. -Molly
Diego, Beautiful job! When Noah was just learning to write his name, he wrote in marker on a RUG. I chose to take a picture and be happy – and I never regretted it 🙂 That’s awesome!
I love it! 🙂
