Early on, my t took notes in a purple notebook- we wrote in it together and drew pictures. After a few weeks when she got to know us, we would tell her "dont write that, no dont write that down either!" and then we told her about our phobia about having things written down, due to some abuse and trauma that happened as a teenager over someone finding some things that we had written down in a suppsedly private journal. So t stopped taking notes altogether.
