Resistance Training

Jonah has a little push/walker toy, but it's pretty light-weight.  It's been hard for him to walk behind it because it just slips away from him (plus, he was more interested in playing with the spinning pieces on the front).  When we visited my cousin a few weeks ago, I noticed her kids' push-behind toy had little brakes on the back wheels that you could adjust to increase or decrease the resistance and slow things down a bit for new walkers.  It gave me an idea...and we made a modification to Jonah's walker.   

It did the trick!  Now he happily walks around the living room, pushing his walker.  Now, if he could only go more than 10 feet before running into a wall (or chair or table or...) he'd be set!
