Kelsey's Celebration at school

On the Wednesday class before her birthday, Kelsey brought Minnie Mouse cupcakes to celebrate.

Kelsey sure liked being the center of attention!

And both Mommy and Daddy got to be there!

Kelsey needs a Kidwalk


A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to have another mom post on the CP board about their child's Kidwalk Gait Trainer.

I googled it and knew that it was just what Kelsey needed.

I really like that the front is completely open. I like that it supports under the arms (where we hold Kelsey when she takes steps for us on her own).

I like that it has a head support in back so Kelsey couldn't arch herself backward which is what she does after she gets mad in the gait trainer we are borrowing. It has a handle in the back that you could "push" to help or if the child gets tired.

So I emailed one of her PT's and she said that they have one at her special school that we could try...

So on that next Tuesday we tried it.

And it was wonderful.

And I almost cried.

And it was wonderful.
