Gleeful Glider

Everyday is something new, weird, and usually hilarious in the world of Justin Alexander. Yesterday he decided it might be more fun to pull himself up and push his walker around the house rather than walk around in it. Then he spent the next 20 minutes (still on the outside of the walker) clinging onto the side with one hand and playing with the tray toys with the other. Yes, these are the same toys that are easily accessible when he is seated in the walker... but strangely they seem tons more fun to play with in the face of danger; i.e., while sliding across the floor in a moving vehicle, hanging over the side, with no ability to stop, walk, balance or let go.

Once that got old, the walker then became a sled and the new game was to put both feet on the base and find someone willing to push him around the house (the lazy bum). And finally... because everything comes full circle... he spent the rest of his playtime trying to put himself back in the walker by climbing over the side and launching himself into the driver's seat.




Of course he never did make it over and back in on his own... but at the least he didn't disappoint in the entertainment department. Most kids use the walker to... umm... walk. Justin Alexander, the human highlight reel, devoted the 244th day of his life to uncovering the hidden joys of his Elmo Walkmobile. And with that, who knows what tomorrow will bring.
