Big Man Shopping at Wegmans

Our PT was not able to find a walker for Jack to try. Instead, she brought this Little Tikes shopping cart. Jack doesn't really use it much at home so I had the idea of taking it to the grocery store. Our OT decided to come with us when we gave it a try. We went to the furthest aisle with the least people. Jack got right down and started to push it. He used one hand to push the cart and one hand to hold on to Monkey. He didn't like to be in the quiet aisle. He wanted to be where all the action was! He walked around the store with minimal assistance for almost 45 minutes! It was incredible! At one point he even let go of the cart and took 5 independant steps to reach a Tide display!!! I was so proud of him! We'll be buying one of these carts for him for sure!


Sorry this video is sideways. I keep forgetting that you can't turn it once it is shot. It's still too cute!!!
