We have been having so much fun. Ryan loves to get to be the driver. I love being able to take Lauren on bike rides again. We even took Monte with us and had him job alongside us, but that needs some practice. I'm going to practice doing this without Lauren a couple times so I can really work with Monte on heeling next to the bike.
We got Ryan a kids FitBit and he loves it! It's been really fun for him to see how many steps he gets. He get a lot! We challenged him with a sticker chart. If he meets his goal (8,000 steps) five out of 7 days of the week, we can get ice cream on Sunday. If he meets his weekly goal all month he can pick out a small Lego set. So far, incentivizing exercise is going well! Tuesday he wasn't going to meet his goal, so I suggested just walking to the corner and back since he was so close. Instead, we walked the block which is just over a mile!
Lauren's still not walking. She will take steps if she's holding onto furniture, going from one piece to another. Sometimes. She is now getting around her classroom pretty well by scooting and cruising on furniture. She's still pretty heavily limping, so that's kind of a bummer. We're getting there! I've been trying to get her to use her tricycle (with a push handle for me to steer/push) just to get her knee moving. She's doing pretty good with it! It's just taking a little longer than I expected. We leave for up north in less than a month and I am suuuuper hoping she's walking independently because the place we're going is not very accessible. Overall, things are going well and she's been super sweet and happy lately. If she's happy, I'm happy!
