This kid can walk

We finally have it.  Sophie received her very own Kid Walk gait mobility system.  It has been a long time coming, I knew almost two years ago that this would be the one for my girl, we trialed it in the summer of 2011.  In the meantime we trialed a few other gait trainers and walkers but I always came back to this one.  It is just the right fit.

Sophie is slowly getting used to it, she has to move a different way than she did with her old Pony walker, but she is figuring it out.  She can move around quite well already, she just needs a little more steering control lol.

We are so thankful for Sophie's two physiotherapists who were both willing to go the extra mile to get Sophie this walker.  It isn't one that is easily approved and they made it happen. 

Very soon she will also have the same walker at school so that will give her even more practice.  I am sure that she will be running all over the school yard by spring time!
