#30facesofautism 2019 - Day 5









Day 5 – Last year I introduced you to Baby Girl’s fixation with the line.  Welp, it’s a new year and she’s making new lines.  We’ve got school yard lines, playground lines, conga lines, and llllooonnnggg lines.  In full disclosure that long line photo was totally edited to protect the lazy, I mean the innocent – nobody needs to see my unkempt house with piles of laundry on the outskirts of the line.  I also noticed that there are several “figures” who appear to be inappropriately suited for the line and remain as outliers.  No idea why.  New and most recently this year Baby Girl is proud to now present – GROUPS of lines!  We’ve got big groups and small groups, we’ve got ginormous mosh pit groups and we’ve even got dinosaur groups made at school where they each have their own names.  That compulsive need for order obviously still exists.  What I love most though about how her lines have transformed over the last year is that they are no longer exclusive to one type of “character”.  Everybody is included in the group!  It is truly symbolic of who she is as a human.  She doesn’t care who you are, or what you are, or where you came from, or how you look, if you are big or little, short or tall, have one arm or two, if your Barbie hair’s gone crazy or your wing has broken.  I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t care if you weren’t wearing pants (as long as you’re a doll that is). My point is that for Baby Girl everybody is welcome in her group, as long as you make sure to stay in line. #30facesofautism
