    If you put rubber bands on the wheels it will help with traction so he doesn't fall immediately after pushing the lil walker thing.
    It worked with my cousins, it might work for y'all ❤️

    • @tinamarie2121
      @tinamarie2121 Před 3 lety +4

      Yes! And if you look in an office supply place (or Amazon), you can find the wider rubber bands that will cover a good bit of the width of the wheel of the walker. They come in very handy for those types of toys and are actually harder to remove than smaller rubber bands for curious hands. ❣️

    So many milestones! Let's recap: Bailey became a teenager, Jacob cooked a full course [taco] meal, Parker lost his baby tooth, Duncan learning how to read, and Luke learning how to walk!!
    And ALL of that happened within the past couple of weeks! They really need to stop growing up so fast!! Haha

    I suspect that Luke will continually surprise us with his accomplishments. I think his microdeletion will become a micro-moment in his life. I think with all the attention from siblings he will always have the desire to keep up with them and will, in the end, amaze us all. He is such a happy, content little boy and will be running before too long. Good luck keeping up!

    I don’t think the babysitter situation is weird. Growing up, my cousins had a babysitter that had her own room in their (my aunts) home.
    The babysitter had a good majority of her stuff there so that when my aunt was working late she had somewhere to sleep and spend the night if needed.
    After a while the babysitter became like family to us, we all loved her.❤️

    I work at a special education school and it's been really hard doing ot, st, and pt over video chat. The kids aren't as interested in doing them without the person being there. I'm glad it's been easy on you guys.

    So incredibly proud of Luke, walking with his walker and using sign language. He's doing amazing and it just makes my heart full to see him progressing.
