Caroline's First Radio Flyer

This is the first of two posts with some little videos of Caroline walking. Apparently I can only upload so much video to one post...so that's why there are two.

Anyway, last weekend when we were stuck inside because of the snowy weather, we decided to see how Caroline would do with her Radio Flyer Walker Wagon that I had bought the day before. We had thought about getting this for her at Christmas time, but I thought she could really use it now, so decided not to wait. I was also pleasantly surprised to have gotten it much cheaper at our local toystore, Grandrabbits, than I would have at Target or Babies R Us. I love this place! It's all that a toy store should be, and it's not a big chain so it feels good to support the local guy. I feel like a little kid whenever I go in there.

This video is the first time she tried walking with it. It has a clicker mechanism in the wheels that gives it some resistance so it doesn't totally run away from her, but it will go fairly fast if you're not careful! :-) The first day we had to help her a bit with the speed, and keep her from going too fast. Check it out! How cute is she? Notice the smile on her face too...I think she was pretty proud of herself!



So that's her first time with it. We were amazed at how much better she did just the very next day! She didn't need our help at all. She realized she could use it for balance but shouldn't put her weight on it. Check out the next post for more videos! She's definitely been enjoying the wagon. She thinks it's pretty funny.
