Jayden's new gate trainer

Last Friday, Jayden finally got his equipment that we have been waiting for since January. He now has a gate trainer. The gate trainer is going to help Jayden learn to walk. It gives him lots of support and teaches him how to hold himself up correctly (balancing on both legs equally). He can only be in as long as he is willing to work. Once he starts to get tired or lazy I have to take him out. He absolutely loves it. He is able to take a few steps correctly and the rest are scooting forward using both legs. He also has a brand new bath chair. Since Jayden can't sit up by himself completly the bath chairs allows him to sit up and feel secure in the bath tub. He loves taking a bath with Jojo. The last thing he received was his customized stroller. This piece is important because it constricts him in his chair and doesn't allow him to side sit. He has to sit up straight which is really good for his back and trunk control. Lastly, Jayden has learn something new. He knows how to tell me no by shaking his head back and forth. He does it at such appropriate times that I have to turn away so he won't see me laughing. I give him his meds he tells me no no no. I try to feed him food, no no no. But I can't wait until we go to UC San Francisco so he can tell Abbie (Dr. Collins) no no no when she tells us what the next yucky med is going to be. Love, Brandy
