We received this walker at Christmas-time for our little munchkin from a wonderful family at church.
And Baby Girl loves it!
She wasn't so fond of it as a walker... Even after she figured out she could walk in it, it wasn't her favorite. I think it was being contained that bothered her.
But now that she's more stable and can walk with it -- pushing it... Well, she is entertained for a long time.
Initially, she kept running it in to everything -- the curio cabinet, the couch, the wall... And we'd constantly be going over to fix her (she hasn't totally grasped backing up). Then my husband had the genius idea of locking one of the wheels. And now she goes in circles. And everyone is happy.
She laughs and has a great time, because she's walking.
We don't have to stop what we're doing to unstick her as often (though she has gotten quite good at managing to get it moving in other directions, not just circles, even with the one locked wheel!).
And on days like yesterday when I feel really yucky... Well, she's content to go around and around and around... And I can chill on the couch.
It's pretty much a win-win-win! And it's helping her develop her walking skills. So watch out world! It won't be long now!
Yeah, we're really grateful for this walker, really grateful to the kind people who gave it to us.
What are you grateful for today?
