Sometimes, growing up means saying goodbye to things we love, even when those things are giant, hand-painted dinosaurs on our bedroom walls.
Jordan and Ashley Cameron recently shared a heartfelt transformation: what started as a dinosaur-themed room for their son has now evolved into a space better suited to his age. In a video titled “The End of an Era,” viewers watch the couple carefully cover up the mural, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
“This room has had two boys living in it for years, but growing boys means it was time for a change to really use the space in the best way possible,” Ashley Cameron said. “The Dino mural is gone, but this room is still filled with their dad’s heart and soul.”
Fans of the video couldn’t help but respond with warmth and nostalgia. One viewer wrote, “Thank you for letting your son have a say in the way his sanctuary looks. Even if it’s hard. The painting for him was beautiful. And it was clearly loved. And you letting it grow with him is something he won’t ever forget either.”
Others shared their own memories sparked by the post. One person recalled, “My mom handpainted Disney princesses dancing with their princes on my wall, all by referencing paused screens and VHS cases. I got older and more alternative and wanted red and black walls, but I still cried having the princesses covered. My mom didn’t mind at all, she was happy for me to have a room that reflected me better. Still, though, the work she put into that mural means so much to me.”
In the Cameron household, the dinosaurs may be gone, but the love, creativity, and memories remain, a reminder that sometimes growing up doesn’t mean leaving your heart behind.
