Quite a few of you asked yesterday how The Princess was positioned on Bear. I realized that the photo quality wasn't the best from the BlackBerry, so I took the good camera along today. Here's a head-on shot so you can see The Princess laying on her tummy across Bear's back.
And here's another quick video from today's session:
Oh, and the newest thing that happened today (so far, that is) didn't even really have anything to do with hippotherapy. On the way home I handed The Princess her fruit snacks and granola bar, which are her usual travelin' snacks. I also had a juice box in my purse just in case, and decided it couldn't turn out too badly so I opened it, took a slug and passed it to the back seat. Where she proceeded to drain it without spilling a drop.
Go Princess!
That's much easier to see today. How often will she be going to Hippotherapy? Also, how come they have her laying on her tummy? Is that how she feels most comfortable or is to get a feel for the horse? Just wondering. Love you gals (and guy).
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Way to go, Chloe!
ReplyDeleteShe looks sooo relaxed on his back. I'm so happy that you found something so wonderful and beneficial.
Jello: she'll be going twice a week, at least until her third birthday. After that it depends upon scheduling and price. She's laying on her tummy across Bear's back to give the most amount of body contact. It's a movement thing, so the more of her body that is in contact with Bear, the better. She may progress to regular riding eventually, but for now this is the way it's gonna be.
ReplyDeleteChelli: I know, right?! I've never seen her this relaxed before...I thought maybe yesterday was a fluke, but then we had the same experience today! She seems to love it, and I'm hoping it will help the speech come. Big goals, I know...but a gal can dream!
