If we are out he has to be in a stroller or carried he does the human noodle and will not walk with me anywhere. He's almost 4 OMGoodness he's almost 4 :( I was having the same issues with strollers as you. I too have a huge jogging type one but it's so huge and hard to lug around. What I bought was made by Quinney. It is light weight (I can pick it up with one hand no problem) and folds up smaller than my umbrella. It is large and is on a good enough angle Trist's head don't fall forward if he falls asleep. (It has a four point harness like the car seat) Here is a link to it. I bought mine at sears for about 50 bucks less than quoted here.<BR/>http://www.europeanstroller.com/Quinny-Zapp.pro<BR/>Tristan is 35 pounds and will be able to use this stroller for a long time still. <BR/>Keep your chin up friend :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214240569421989423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520636576141846708.post-23525629344143787652007-12-11T11:09:00.000-08:002007-12-11T11:09:00.000-08:00I was coming to see if there were any updates on R...I was coming to see if there were any updates on Rhett since his choking episode.

It must be very difficult for you physically. I will be interested in what you find. We had looked into a stroller for Maizie since she tires so quickly and refuses to walk after a while. But, we have never qualified for any aide and they are very expensive.

K...I understand exactly where you are coming from. Kaden is now a little over three and is just now able to walk holding somebody's hand and walk some with a walker, just not completely on his own. He still can not stand without holding on to the furniture and just recently started pulling himself up. When it comes to taking him around I use the jogging stroller, and prefer that over a wheelchair, besides that the stroller is much lighter than the wheelchair. <BR/><BR/>I have come to the realization that Kaden will do things when he is ready to do them. I am sure Rhett will began to walk when he is ready. It shows in the video you posted that he is trying and all it will take is some practice. I don't know how Rhett likes holding on to your hands to walk, but that was the only way Kaden would do it to start with. He didn't trust the walkers or holding on to furniture, he just wanted mom and/or dad's support. Hang in there, you are doing a wonderful job and I am sure that one day we will be watching a video of big boy Rhett walking around getting into mom's stuff. Take care, thinking of you always.

Every time we do a new IEP I always set up a goal that my guy will be able to talk before Kindergarten and well my little guy is turning 5 next week and he is still nowhere close. I know how hard it is but I always try to focus on all of the things he has accomplished and it makes all of the rest seem like little bumps in the road.my--four--sonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429212868225487823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520636576141846708.post-50561709724174080732007-12-10T19:18:00.000-08:002007-12-10T19:18:00.000-08:00I have to just give you a pat on the back!

Same is true for Rhett. <BR/><BR/>I also hear you on the whole stroller thing.
