I hated going out in public because I felt that people stared at us. It was really hard, and it was hard for our boys.<br />That was in September. I got used to the people-I choose to think they are looking at how cute my boy is. The boys are used to it. And the biggest surprise-Parker LOVES it. It is so much more comfortable-and I didn't even realize how uncomfortable he had been in a regular stroller. We had tried many-but no luck. It gives him so much support and he is very, very content in it. I know Gavin will be as well. It takes time-but that is what we hear about everything all the time anyway, right? <br />Just wanted to tell you I understand completely, and it gets better. The biggest bonus and what made me want to use it-is that Gavin will be so comfortable with the suppport he gets from the chair. <br />Jen CardenJennifer Cardenhttp://familywhirlwind.typepad.com/our_family_whirlwind/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-90896046269904169692009-05-20T00:10:32.511-04:002009-05-20T00:10:32.511-04:00hows my little man?

My 5 yr old thinks she has a "cool set of wheels". There is also a ramp in their living room that he shoots his cars down. I love that he doesn't think twice about her chair or limitations....he's always known and loved her just the way she is.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953023131915534135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-63272071607668610122009-05-16T19:23:00.000-04:002009-05-16T19:23:00.000-04:00Hey, we have the SAME stroller chair in purple!!! ...Hey, we have the SAME stroller chair in purple!!! Someone gave it to us. We normally use Peanut's regular wheelchair (Zippy Quicky Tilt-In-Space). I will say that the Quicky is more comfortable for longer walks. Or should I say longer sits? :) The purple stroller one is much easier for quick trips though.<br /><br />It's a bit hard to accept at first, but it has definately made our life easier. I have honestly not noticed people treat her any different in her chair. Quite honestly, I think more people come talk to her in it, than in a shopping cart or something! <br /><br />Her wheelchair is purple (same as the stroller chair), and it has light-up front wheels. It's just cool. :)ANewKindOfPerfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978293330074662766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-51785886499051015912009-05-16T02:20:00.000-04:002009-05-16T02:20:00.000-04:00Love the pictures and love your little guy and lov...Love the pictures and love your little guy and loved this post.Real and honest and that is what it is about.That and your amazing faith that you continue to circle back to no matter what.Stick with his regular stroller for now.Time will have a way of letting you know when to switch.If to switch.Be patient with yourself.You continue to do an amazing job juggling and processing and living your beautiful days.Love from Zoey.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209967185741239050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-73656375926147152102009-05-14T22:38:00.000-04:002009-05-14T22:38:00.000-04:00Im glad he liked it for a while!

Thats why I ordered a special needs stroller instead, but I think when it comes I will think the same thing, it looks like a wheelchair. My friend told me after she got her little girls wheelchair people didn't come up and talk to her baby like they used to, its horrible that people think like that. It looks comfy to me. Jax should be here any day, I'll have to show you ours when it comes.

All of us are only a hair's width away from disaster everyday without even realizing it. But why worry about that or about someone like Gavin whose future is so uncertain? Our futures and Gavin's future are not uncertain to God. Awesome!!<br /><br />I just love those pics of Gavin.
