The Equipment Man


Today our equipment man, Todd, came with a few items for us to test. Anna and Ben spent the late part of the morning racing up and down the hall in wheelchairs and walkers. Actually, the walker wasn't so racy. The wheelchairs were a hit, though. Anna did best with a toxic green colored one with light up front wheels. Neither of those attributes had anything to do with why she did well in it, but they were the most noticeable ones. I think the real reason was that the wheels were large and skinny, like on a racing bike. There was another chair that was way too chunky and stable. She wasn't going to flip over in it, but she also wasn't going to beat grandma across the parking lot either. We are going to go ahead with the next step of the ordering process. Maybe we'll be in possession of one of those little chairs in 4 to 6 months.

In this picture, Ben is on his trike and Anna is in her Ready Racer. They love to wear hats and chase each other around the house.
