DUH! It's Gait Trainer not Gate Trainer, Mom


In Physical Therapy with Miss Brianna we have started talking about baby walkers.  They are the TINIEST and cutest little things ever.  Seriously, like a walker for your baby dolls.

Now it is time to work on some demos for our Olivia to help her start walking!  YAY!

Miss Brianna (PT) said it was called a "gate tracker" (or so I thought).  I initially referred to it as a "gate keeper" then a "gate tracker".

So I got home to do some research on "gate trackers" but could not find anything!  NOTHING!  OOPS - realized it was "gate trainer".  My bad.  Searched again.  NOTHING.

WTH?!  Guys, how can I do research on these things if I can't find them?

So I searched "baby walkers".   And "Gait Trainer" came up.  So when someone says a word that sounds like "gate" to you, how would you spell it?  Please say "gate" to make me feel better.

*SIGH*

Let's try this again - "Gait Trainer" in search.  BOOM!


This is a generic photo pulled from a search of images, so not the best quality.  Right now, as we practice, hers does not have the "support apparatus" that is there in the middle.  This picture shows all the pieces of her gait trainer that will be "one day". 


Here is our baby girl (and Dada!) truly using her Gait Trainer for the first time on 12/18/2014.  It was quite a success as there were not tears and TONS of movement!  WOO HOO :)

Be Happy.  Laugh.  Enjoy Chaos.
