🧠🐿️ Our Little Squirrels (and Other Adorable Critters)

As a mom of a kid with ADHD—and a former special ed teacher—I lovingly refer to our kids as squirrels (or other adorable critters).

You know the type:

• limited attention span

• forgetful (but sincere)

• distracted by everything

• loses shoes… constantly

• and somehow still so incredibly cute

These traits aren’t flaws—they’re part of how our kids experience the world. Fast brains. Curious minds. Big hearts.

💛 Here’s the question for you:

What “critter” does your child remind you of—and what do you secretly love about it?

Drop it in the comments 🐿️🦊🐝

Let’s normalize this with humor, compassion, and a whole lot of love.

(And yes… if you’ve ever searched for missing shoes while laughing and crying at the same time—you belong here.
