I was told by a friend yesterday that I needed to be more of a mom and less of a physical therapist. I don't know how 3 years of graduate school and 1 1/2 years of work can make fixing people such a reflex. But I see Dylan and his lack of motor control and I think "Let's work on this." I know you're thinking, "He's 3 months old, for heaven's sake." But I don't really have a lot to do most days so I take joy in the simple things, like when his hand actually hits its target. I know I'm not the only one, because my friend
Dureece, a fellow PT, said she put her baby on the exercise ball to strengthen her core.
Look he's sitting up in his
boppy. When he falls back he's using his abs to pull him back up, and when he falls
forward he's weight bearing through his arms. It's a great exercise. And he's working the hand eye coordination to play with his toys.
I'm so proud.

Cutest, smartest, most amazing baby ever!
Look at those Chubby Checks. You just want to kiss them! Yes, I agree you need to be more of a mom and less of a PT. It's hard not to recognize problems in others when that is what you know. I think every kid with a runny nose has RSV so there you go.
He is getting chubby. I guess it is good that you are exercising him. ;) No, that is really cool that he is doing all that stuff already. I can't wait to hang out with him for a whole weekend!
Oh, and you too. :)
You forgot to mention that you are always utilizing your PT with yourself too. Even in the temple! :) LOL
I'm a nerd.
It's just part of who you are now. I'm a teacher, so it is all I can do to keep myself from correcting everyone's spelling and grammar in their blogs and comments!
