In the Kitchen with Daniel

"Daniel is a big boy."

That is the comment we get a lot. And it is true no doubt. He is very tall and very big. If he didn't have the developmental delays that he has, he would be running off a lot of that baby fat, but since he is not like most other toddlers we have been wondering how to give this boy some exercise.

Last week we asked the physical therapist if there was anything we could or should be doing. Not to say that Daniel doesn't move but we thought maybe he might need more. The therapist said that he does burn energy just kicking and rolling over but she gave us other types of "exercises" for Daniel.

Well, Daniel listens and takes in a lot of information and that same afternoon he just rolled all over the place. From back to stomach and stomach to back. And today, who did I find in the kitchen? Yup that is right--Daniel. I think he surprised himself as he has never been on the floor in the kitchen before. And while he was in the kitchen what did he do? He moved in a circle on his back and even got a little too close to Maggie's food bowl.

What did Maggie do? Nothing but she definitely didn't like the look of it.
