Special thanks to the students at UC Davis and Easter Seals! This little treadmill is on loan from them and is helping Dante to develop the skills, motor planning, confidence and strength needed to walk. He is amazing and loves to jump on the little machine (maybe it's because he gets to watch Sprout!) He crawls up the stairs, into his therapy room and assumes the treadmill position. It is the cutest thing ever! He is also transferring these skills to other equipment. He has a toy walker that he now likes to use to cruise up and down our long court. I love to see his confidence and desire to walk grow:) Since this video was taken a few weeks ago, he know cruises at a much faster pace for a solid 4-5 minutes. I think we will be there in the next 6 months=> At that point however, I may need to bungee the kid to my leg! Between him and his sister becoming more mobile, Johnny and I are in trouble;) Hee-hee!
