Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

All about Daniel

Daniel has been doing great lately. He is verbalizing A TON! He has been pointing at everything showing me what he is interested in or if he needs help with something. He has been utilizing sign language more which is great and reduces stress on him and us. He has been playing more with his brothers. He has very little separation anxiety and is totally fine going to new places. We can drive in the car and i can take a turn in a direction i know that he is not familiar with and he doesn't freak out! (He use to scream the whole car ride if we were driving somewhere he didn't know or he didn't want to go). Life has just been easier with him.
Last night we were playing with our new set of finger puppets and he was imitating sounds and actions and engaging in play. SO AWESOME! He was pretty attached to the finger puppet he was playing with so i let him go to bed with it. It was just such a good night i wanted him to go to bed on a good note...



Yes... he still gets rice milk at night from a sippy cup... it's one of his only comfort items... and I'm okay with that! I'm sure he won't be wanting to drink out of his sippy cup at night when he's 14! :)

Anyway, i just had to share, He's doing so good and I'm so proud of the progress he is making.

I can't even begin to express how much I love knowing that I have been able to be a small part of your little Daniel's journey. I am so blessed that those little finger puppets have been so good for him and that he loves them!
