Cowboy Shane

Shane had another all star lesson today! He rode Tobi and used the handlebar! He sat up nice and tall, I held his body and Miss Judie held his hands on. He did so good!! I think he liked it too. He looked like a real cowboy! He promised he would be good for the other volunteers on Thursday since I won't be there, so we'll see! He better show off for everyone else!

Shane's Bear!!

Here's a short video on Shane with his bear from Nina Dobrev! Thank you Nina! 

TOMORROW

Big news!! Nina Dobrev's bear for Shane will arrive TOMORROW! So so so so excited!!

Squish the Dice

So Shane had the whole arena to himself today! He rode Tobi. I think he really likes Tobi! Now he is eye level with me, which isn't hard to do, but he likes to look around! Miss Pam wanted to try something new with him so he got to ride backwards and squish down a pair of dice. He was really focused on it since this was a new toy for Shaner! He worked hard, as always!

Pants Party

SHANE DID AMAZING TODAY!! He worked so hard holding his head up and looking around. He even got to sit up backwards on his horse! He was just grins and giggles doing that. He seemed to be very fascinated with Seren's tail. Froggy is not his favorite position but he always does such a good job! He also picked up a new nickname...Squeaky! He's working hard on using his voice to tell his horse to walk on so it only seems fitting. Just add it to the repertoire! 

Getting in Motion

During Shane's riding lesson today we flipped him like a pancake (which he thinks is just too funny) from his back to his belly. Usually he just works on lifting his head up and moving it side to side but today, he was kicking his legs back and forth and he was using his arms to push himself up to flip his head around. It was the first time I've seen him do that on his horse! It was amazing! He was so motivated today and he was talking and smiling and just a very happy boy!

A New First- Shane Feeds Himself!

Wow! What an accomplishment!! So proud and inspired!
