Last night Jewel and I decided we had waited long enough and we were going to put together her KidWalk II gait trainer. Today we had had enough and she went in it for the first time.
Immediately after we strapped her in, she said "dance!" and Raven put Ke$ha's cd on and we were all dancing. It was so amazing. I've got some video of Jewel in her gait trainer, and mom's reaction when she first saw Jewel standing without human assistant. And yes, mom and I jumped around in glee.
Now here is some things Jewel has to say about her gait trainer.
Jewel
no way! i walk!
no fair! the color [supposed to be] red!
Makena: Do you like it?
Jewel No! I love it!
Makena:Does anything hurt when you are in it?
Jewel:Butt!
Makena:When you sit instead of stand?
Jewel:Ya
Makena:You are supposed to be standing only. haha
PS. When I showed Jewel the above photo, she didn't like it. I asked her why, and she said because of her shoes. So we will take a new photo when she can show off her shoes to you all. :)
ETA:
WooHoo...dance Jewel dance!!!
