[blparent] Michael's walking

[Leslie Hamric]

I'm not sure exactly.  How about continuing to chat off list.  I can then
give you more details about the rolling ball tip.

I should try one out sometime.  But do they fit in small spaces like along
side of the carseat and the door. v

Hi V.  I like the rolling ball tip better than the glide because it doesn't
get stuck in the cracks of the sidewalk or between the sidewalk and the
grass.

Leslie, do you like the rolling ball tip better than the metal glide.  I've
always wondered about them.   We don't have sidewalks, so never had the
problem with knocking Gab off the curb. V

I'm beginning to realize that.  Yesterday, Michael and I took our first walk
outside. We went to the corner of our block and back and Michael was holding
my hand while I was using my cane.  He stayed next to me the whole time and
didn't even pay attention to my cane.  Normally, he likes to spin the
rolling ball tip and pull on the loop up at the top that's elastic.  I use
one of those folding canes from Ambutek with the big rolling ball tip.  I do
have a question.  What do you do if you have to follow the left side and
there's a curb there?  I'm afraid of dragging him off the sidewalk.  Do you
just switch him to your right side?  Anyone, feel free to chime in on this
answer.
Leslie

Congratulations Leslie on Michael Walking and talking! Once they start, they
just grow by leaps and bounds.
