Kneekers

One disadvantage of our house is that we have all hardwood floors.  Everywhere except the bedrooms is hardwood.  And although they are pretty easy to keep clean, they aren't the most kid friendly.  Crawling on wood floors isn't super comfortable and I'm sure the beginning of walking independently will be full of crashes.  In fact sometimes Colin gets tangled in his own arms and we've had a few face plants on the hardwood floor.  It's not fun.  Anyways, my mom found these Kneekers as a great solution for Colin comfortably crawling on the floor.

They slip right on those chunky little legs and the rubber piece fits perfect over his knees.  He doesn't mind crawling on the hardwood floor when he is wearing these.  If he isn't wearing them, he does a funny scoot on one knee while holding the other one up.   

I found them online here.  The only thing that is sort of a bummer, is they were a little tight on Colin's thighs so Ryan stretched them out- which helped Colin- but it made the edging come undone and now they are unraveling. 

I would highly recommend them still for the beginning crawler with hardwood floors.  On the other hand they GREATLY expand Colin's mobility so maybe not :)

Gotta run, Colin's on the move-
