| We brushed the ponies nicely and got them ready to ride. |
 |
| This was our first visit to Pendragon Farms. |
 |
| Rose and Woodjie's first riding lesson! |
 |
| Elf was able to ride unassisted and guide his pony around obstacles. |
 |
| Max worked hard! We're rewarding him with a bowl of treats. |
That looks like great fun !
ReplyDeleteI remember Ben's horse's hame, "Cricket". Cricket helped work a little miracle for Ben. All of Ben's language was echolalic. He had never used the pronoun "I". He had never directly answered a question, just a normal everyday question. He was 4 years old.
ReplyDeleteAfter a lesson, I asked..."What do you want to do now, Ben?", not expecting an answer.
"I want to go to a movie..." he said. I about died and of course we did (George of the Jungle). Then the next whole week was "I want a cookie...I want to go to the park...I want to watch a video". By the end of the week we had to haul him back in and try to shut down the "I want" talk a little.
When your kids have language difficulties, it's the little stuff that counts. I never dreamed he would be the talker he is today.
