Elizabeth has mastered how to ride a ride-on toy. We are about 2 1/2 years behind but she has finally figured it out. When Elizabeth first started physiotherapy their first suggestion was to get her on a ride-on toy as it was a precursor to walking. We bought ride-on after ride-on thinking that the fault was the style/size but she could never figure out how to move so it become more of an exercise for us as we pushed her. Elizabeth is now happily riding around the house on her airplane with propeller and music at full throttle.
Check out her footwear, Elizabeth scored a pair of jelly shoes from 'Old Lady' (Old Navy) and she loves them. I love how I can see her dainty little feet, they are not outside shoes due to her instability but she loves to wear them around the house.

Yayyyy for mastering the ride on toy! Kellar did it for the 1st time a few weeks ago himself, now if he could only figure out how to pick his feet up to jump..haha...
Yay! That gives me hope, since Nathan has no concept of what to do with a ride on toy at this point.
Love the Jelly shoes! That takes me back a few years LOL!
See you on Sunday at the wedding. I am excited to finally meet up with everyone, especially on such a great day!
Your daughter sounds so much like mine! My Cecily had a pre-natal stroke (she is now almost 5) which caused right-side hemiparesis and hypotonia. She is incredibly verbal and intelligent (she read at 2 1/2!) but there are things that her baby sister can do at 17 months that she can't do yet (climb, run). Anyway, if you want to compare notes please feel free to email me at rishane210@gmail.com. I'd love to chat!
