So for a long time now we have been working with Luke to strengthen his muscles. Usually we try things like adding weights to things he pushes or lifts. We’ve even filled some old Gatorade bottles with water, so that they are harder to throw (like he usually does with his toys) and harder to lift up onto the couch or chairs. Luke actually likes to put those bottles in his wagon and push them around.
Well last week our baby girl, who isn’t really a baby anymore now that she is one, decided to climb into the Step 2 wagon we have. Usually the wagon is full of blocks and various other toys, but this day it was empty. Therefore, it was the perfect place for our baby girl to climb into. Once she got in she looked at me and smiled real big, like she had found the best place to play.
Of course she did this while daddy was walking Luke around by one hand, up and down the hallway. So when daddy and Luke got in range, Luke grabbed a hold of the wagon and started pushing it through the living room and down the hallway. Daddy stayed close behind, in case Luke lost his balance.
On the return trip to the living room, our baby girl got bored and decided to be adventurous and try standing up inside the wagon while it was on the move! Such a funny thing to watch! Both Luke and our baby girl thought this “exercise” was the greatest thing ever!!
I caught the return trip on video, so maybe that will help you visualize.
